EMPERORFRANC|S JOSEPH DEAD;
CHARLES RULING DUAL MONARCHY
Sixtyseven Years Reign Brought to Sudden End BY Cold
Which Developed Into Lung Trouble; Death Will Not
Have Influence on Trend of War, Is the Belief

I Vienna Nov. 22-The new emperor
OF Austria and king of Hungary is
Charles Francis Joseph, usually known
as Charles Francis, a granddaughter
of Emperor Francis Joseph. He is now
20 years old and is married and has
an heir apparent in his family the
little Archduke Francis Joseph Otto,
born in November. 1912.
Ii is by one Of the freaks of fortune
that Charles Francis mounts the
throne of the Hapsburgs. Until the
tragedy of the summer Of 1914, it had
appeared that he would not become an
emperor until late in life-perhaps
never. 1t was apparent that the aged
emperor broken by his griefs, could
not live long, but the then heir appar-
ent, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
was young man of good habits and
excellent health. liked by the people
and babe fair to reign long unless the
empire should crumble.
Elevated Suddenly. *
Then came the murder at SarajevO
Of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his
consort. the Duchess of Hohenberg.
In the ordinary course of events their
eldest son, Prince Macmillan Charles,
would have become the heir apparent.
But the Duchess of Hohenberg was
not of royal blood, and by the funda-
mental law of the land her issue could
not inherit the throne. And before he
was allowed to marry her, even NOR
ganaticslly. Franz Ferdinand had been
forced to sign away the rights of their
children to the throne
hof hn n
Franz Ferdinand, Charles Francis be-
came the heir apparent. and now. on
the death of the great Franz Josef, he
wears the Hapsburg crown.
Charles Francis is the son Of the
Archduke Otto (the younger brother
of Franz Ferdinand) and nephew Of
Franz Ferdinand. His mother was the
Princess Marie Of SaXony.
WEEDS Roys! Cousin.
Charles Francis married in 1911 the
Archduchess Elizabeth of Zeta, eld-
est child Of the Archduchess Valerie,
who was the youngest and favorite
daughter of Franz josef Thus he
has kept the Hapsburg crown in the
Hapsbure family. by marrying dis
tant cousin. even at the risk of hav-
ing the leading traits of the Haps-
burgs reappear with increased inten-
sity in their children. They have three
children, Francis joseph Otto. born
1912: Adelaide Marie. born 1914, and
Robert Charles Ludwig, born 1915.
The mother nursed all her babies
and the parents have often taken dem.
ocratic excursions in the public parks
with the children, the father wheeling
a baby carriage like any Vienna clerk
The new emperor was educated in the
public schools Of the Austrian capital.
1t is this simplicity of life that has
endeared the royal pair to the people
Of Austria. The killing at Sarajevo
first brought the little family from
mountain retreat at Ischi to Vienna.
When the young man drove through
the streets, preceding his murdered
uncle and aunt to their last resting
place, he was cheered along the whole
route. This has been the attitude Of
the people ever since.

BELLS BRIGHTEN WOLVES.

One of the most serious problems in
the cattle business on the open range
arises from the depredations OF WILD
animals. Wolves destroy many hun.
dred thousand dollars worth Of stock
annually, and their attacks on young
calves are particularly FREQUENT. One
progressive cattleman finds that the
wolf is frightened by the jingle of a
COW bell. and he is putting bells on
all his young calves soon after birth.
This season he used more than 1000
bells with good results.

WoRIp WIDE PEACE.

The belief of some people that wars
could be forever ended If we woulo
abolish armies and navies, is based up
on perfect faith. Nothing else can
Justify such belief. If we are to live
in peace and harmony with all the
rest of the world, then we must nave
absolute faith in the rest of the world
and all other people in the world must
have faith in us and in each other.
Without such a faith it is idle to talk
Of disarmament as remedy for the
worlds present ills
How many people do you know in
whom you have perfect faith? How
many people do you know to Whom
you would trust your life, your snare
Of the worlds wealth, your honor, the
honor of those that are near and dear!
Doubtless you can thipk of many.
But now take it the other way and
answer this: Do you not know men that
you would not trust with your life. or
your honor, or your wealth. or your
future, or something else that you
hold valuable? If you cannot think OF
several such men. your acquaintance
ship must be very limited or else you
are favored by providence in a way
that few others ever are.
And II there are such men, whom
you do not feel that you can trust.
then what are you going to do about
Il? Are you going to trust that your
distrust is unjust? Or are you going
to make provision against that dis
trust?
Your answer to that will show
whether you are of that class which
the world calls prudent or whether
YOU are content to just take a
chance If you are prudent. there is
but one thing to do and that is to pro-
vide a way In which to protect your
self in case your distrust proves JUS
tilable. You do not need to hunt for
trouble, but unless you provide against
that danger which you believe besets
YOU. or which you believe might pos
sibly beset you. then you are not
treating yourself fairly and you are
not putting very high value upon
those things which you believe are in
ieopardy.
Now nations are just like individ-
uaIs-certainly not any better and gen
orally Just little bit worse than the
average of the citizenship that COM
prises them. Therefore. when all the
nations reach that point where they
have perfect faith in every other ma.
tion-where they do not fear agrees
sion. affront or other injury-then 1t
will be time to disarm. While there
is one nation that is not deserving OF
that perfect faith. then those nations
which value their liberty and their
prestige and their domain, cannot al
ford to relinguish the means man has
always used to secure and hold them
the implements of force. Because the
defenseless man is not safe from enc
mics and the defenseless nation Is
likewise in danger at all times.
Therefore, much as It'll may be de-
sired that wars will cease and that
worldwide peace will reign, there is
no valid reason to believe that such
a thing will come to pass until the
nature of mankind is changed.
