10 distant parts of the empire As
distinction from these by the courts:
such can be liberated only by the ex-
press order OF the sovereign. But 1t

AGED emperor
RISES AT FOUR
EVERY MORNING
Frances Joseph at Age of 86
Leads Active Life and
Continues Strong
IBy Associated Prsssl

VIENNA, Austria Emperor Fran
els Joseph spent his third war
birthday 1S--in absolute re-
tirement in his palace at Schoen-
brunn. just outside Vienna. Only q
special mass in the castle chapel. and
family dinner-party distinguished
the day from any other in the mon
arch's ordinary life. For the rest it
was spent as usual, in work from
dawn until evening.
His eighty-sixth birthday found the
emperor In fairly good health, despite
all rumors to the contrary. States
men who have seen him lately ex-
press establishment at his mental and
bodily vigor. but allowing for soma
courtier-lille exaggeration it is gener-
ally believed that the soyereign's
health is remarkably good, consider
ing his advanced age, and especially
all the worries and burdens resulting
from the war.
Rising at four the emperor takes a
very light breakfast of tea or choco-
late and bread and butter and Is at
his desk by five. His barber comes
three times week though now he is
enrolled in the Landstrum It hap
pens frequently that he cannot come
at the proper time, having guard
duty, but the emperor has ordered
that nothing is to interfere with his
military duties. He arrives at the
castle in uniform but puts on a dress
coat before going to the emperor.
At z o'clock the first adiutant In
waiting appears with reports and
state papers, and any day after that
hour audiences are granted to minis
tiers and high military personages.
Wor kgoes on steadily all the day m
terrupted only by the briefest pauses
for meals.
Naturally the customary rejoieings
on the occasion of the emperor's
birthday throughout the country have
been greatly curtailed by the war.
In Vienna high mass at the cathed-
raj, attended by all the prominent
state and municipal personages, fol-
lowed by state dinner at the Cardin-
al Archbishop's !. and the firing OF 3
salute at the arsenal are the chief
items on the program. Usually great
crowds hocked to the prater which
was Illuminated in the evening, bat
this year the population was In little
mood for such festivities, and the
crowds were far smaller than in other
years.
