SUCCESSOR TO FRANCIS JO-
SEPH A DEMOCRATIC SOVEREIGN
(By Associated Press. }

Warsaw, Jan. BY those who
know him, Archduke Charles Ste
rhen, cousin of the late Emperor
Francis Joseph, who has been select
cd as regent of Poland, is considered
"a most democratic sovereign, gifted
with common sense, ability and per-
|sonal charm. Conditions under
which the Associated Press corre-
|spondent recently made his ac-
|quaintance illustrate the. democratic
side of his character The CORE
|spondent was calling upon friend
at one of the lesser hotels in Vienna
when a knock at the door was heard
and without further formality a tall
officer entered, shook hands, shed his
overcoat, which he threw on a bed,
and embarked in informal conversa-
tion. 1t was Poland's future SOW
ereign who had thus made his way
to the hotel room without even call
ing the services of an attendant
when he learned that correspond
ent of an American news agency was
there.
The Archduke conversed with the
greatest cordiality, displaying an in
innate knowledge and keen interest
concerning conditions of American
life, and volunteered his assistance
to facilitate the newspaperman'
wrrk. He was particularly i'm
pressed with the Importance of the
press in America ond lamented the
fact that the newspapers did not
play such a role in Austria Hungary.
He voiced as well as manifested his
belief in democratic customs and de-
clared that he had deliberately
urged two of his youngest sons, who
had graduated from the Austrian
Military Academy the day before, to
take commissions in ordinary line
regiments instead of in one of the
favorite guard organizations. In the
thick of the fighting in the Carpa-
thians the Archduke has been living
as simply as his subalterns. learning
at first hand the environment Of the
officers and soldiers from the ranks
of hic DaOp1a His two cons have
folloyed his suggestion, like their
elder brother, Charles Albert, and
have entered line regiments, the
18th Uhlans.

GASPARiLLA CARNIVAL TO
BE BETTER THAN EVER

Tampa Fla, Jan. Although
ii has been certain that the South
Florida fair would be bigger and
better than ever, an infinitely great
Ter variety of product exhibits and
better amusement features having
been secured. there has been fesr
that the Gasparilla carnival would
not be as good as hoped for on ac-
count of lack of funds. Citizens, how
ever, have contributed enough to
make IL better than those of two and
three years ago, which were great
successes, and infinitely better than
