Emperor Charles and Empress Zita

Geneva, Switzerland, May 3.-Here,
the stories from Vienna meet and
merge as the story bearers gather
together, the consensus Of opinion
among those who pride themselves
on their information about the courts
of Europe predict confidently the fall
of the Hapsburgs.
There is always the confidence on
the part of pro-entente folk that the
Hapsburgs will fall sooner or later
because Of the force Of allied arms
and the victory Of the legions Of
democracy. But even the pro Teu-
ton prophets are now predicting the
downfall of the historic house from
within.
The great love the Austrian peo-
pies had for Francis Joseph when he
was emperor-an affection which
moved Napoleon III. to remark often
that Emperor Francis Joseph was
the only continental ruler who could
return to his people after a disas
trous defeat and get as heart whole
a welcome as If he came back from
yictory-has not been transferred
to Emperor Charles. From his ac-
cession he has been rendered only a
Iukewarm respect and the last YES
tlge of good will borne him by his
countrymen disappeared recently,
when Charles abjectly surrendered to.

Periures Self For Kaiser.
How can the people of the dual
empire retain even their respect for a.
ruler ask their "cronies." who in alb
iect fear of the kaiser perjured him
self publicly by denying the con-
tents of the letter he wrote his
brother law, Prince Sixtus Of
Bourbon, an officer Of Belgian artil-
lery now fighting the Germans.
The letter was in his own hand
writing. His first perjury was the
statement that the letter had been
forged by his mother law, the
widowed Duchess of Parma. Later
he said it was forged by his wife's
father confessor. The Austrian
court folk can pass over a little lie
with little comment. But a public
perjury and the attempts OF the per-
turer to hide first behind skirts and
then behind the cassock could not be
countenanced.
Kaiser Wilhelm took the keenest
delight in forcing the Hapsburg's
weakest ruler to bend to his will
The Hohenzollerns have always been
regarded by the Hapsburgs as little

burgs have always recalled at peril
