Robert E. Gonzales was certainly a
brilliant and much loved young man.
The press of the entire country does
him honor, and gives more space to
this simple, sergeant in a machine gun
company than it might give to a

touching tribute is from one of his
associates on the staff of the State, a

FRANCIS JOSEPH DEAD
 AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS
Long and Troubled Life Ends
 at Eighty six.

Francis Joseph l., emperor of Aus tria and king of Hungary, died early Wednesday morning. Often reported dead and ruler over loosely cemented union of discordant and jarring peo- pies, his long reign was troublous from beginning to end. He was eighty-six, the oldest of reigning monarchs.
 Born in 1880, he was proclaimed em- peror after the abdication of his uncle, Ferdinand l., and the renunciation of the throne by his father. This was Dec. ?, 1s4S. when he was but eight cen. It was a year of revolution in Europe and of bloody battles between peoples and monarchs.
 The boy emperor was also crowned king of Hungary. Soon after he was married to Elizabeth, daughter of Duke MaXimilian of Bavaria. She was assassinated in Geneva Sept. 10, 1898
 Following outbreaks in Hungary the emperors troubled reign brought on the Italian uprising of 1859, which cost him Venice and the upper part of Italy after defeats by the French un. der Napoleon III. and the Italians. In 1866 came the war with Prussia, which cost Austria more territory after the defeat at Sadowa in short but inglo- rious campaign for the Austrlans. Then followed Bismarck and the triple alli- ance, in which Austria became leagucd with two of her hereditary foes.
 The private life of the emperor also was one of many sorrows. His brother MaXimilian was induced to take the throne of Mexico in 1865 only to hc captured and shot at Queretaro. His son, the Crown Prince Rudolph, cOnl- mitted suicide as the result of a love affair. and tho murder of the empress at Geneva was another blow.
 Still the aged ruler remained out. wardly unshaken. and his vitality and endurance were the marvel of the world.
 The final blow came with the assassi- nation Of his nephew Francis Ferdi- nand, heir presumptive. and his wife at Sarajcvo. Bosnia. in 1914 That brought on the great war. amid which Francis Joseph died.
 His successor. only recently nomi- mated as corcgcnt. Is Archduke Karl Francis Joseph, his grmldrA thew. who is commanding one of tN Austrian armies at the front.
