when the local squad goes West Sat-
urday.
In the four games that the two
High schools have played to date,
the Westerners have won three. Fol-
lowing the 38 to 0 disaster, Green's
burg came East in 1915, and in one
of the closest games ever played on
the Island trimmed Tech Z to 0. In
1916 Tech went to Greensburg and
lost out 10 to 6. Last year Tech gave
Greensburg their first defeat in five
years when the local aggregation
won by a score of 16 to z. This COM
ing Saturday the local lads are sure
of winning, only they want to win by
a larger score than 3S to 0. A score
like that seems impossible when
Greensburg's records are perused.
But Captain Elmer and his follow
ers are sure that the trick can be
turned, and the entire squad will be
"out for gore" every minute of the
play.
Football was adjourned yesterday
afternoon because of the kaiser's un-
expected trip to Holland. To quote
Captain Elmer the former war lord
is apt to get in Dutch" in the land
of dunes and dikes. To-day the squad
was out in full force and every Ma
room player will be fighting hard to
take the big trip to Greensburg. A
big squad of the student body will
accompany the team.

the aged predecessor of the youthful
Charles, seeing the handwriting on
the wall" had hoped to unite the dis
cordal.t elements among his 50,000.-
600 subjects whose racial antagon-
isms were complicated by the alb
sorption by Austria of. the Serbian
provinces of Bosnia and Herzego-
vina in 1908.
1t was the ArchduIe Francis Ferdi-
nand's determination to bring about
a triune empire up of Magyar, Slav
and German states. 1t Is generally be-
lieved, that led to his assassination
in Sarajevo. Francis Ferdinand fear
ed the dual monarchy might be end
ed upon the death of Francis Joseph
by the Intervention of Russia or Ger
many and sought thus to forestall
1t.
Son of Archduke of SaxOny
Charles 1 was born August IT, 1887,
the son of the late Archduke Otto, of
Saxony. He married the Princess
zita of the Bourbon house of Parma
(Italian) in 1911. When the Eunc
Dimlttis was sung for his dead grand
uncle, the Emperor Joseph. the only
achievements of Charles brought to
public notice were that he was a keen
sportsman, an excellent shot and mo-
torist. Frequently he was seen in
the parks of Vienna wheeling one of
his young dukes in a baby peram-
bulator. When he acceded to the
throne on December 30, 1916, Austria
Hungary, torn by four years of war,
saw the first faint CLEAN of possible
peace.
The course of the new ruler was
regulated largely from Berlin and
for the first six months of his reign
Austria Hungary was regarded as a
mere German state. Hindenburg's
successes in Galicia in 1916, in which
Charles shared as a commander in
the field, gave the young monarch a
prestige which enabled him to hold
the Austrians to the Central Powers
until the collapse of Bulgaria and
Turkey and the final crash.
Used Famous SIxtus Letter
Numerous peace overtures and
maneuvers characterized the diplo-
macy of the dual monarchy after
Francis Joseph's death. precipitated
doubtless by bread riots and other
outbreakF throughout Austria. I'M
able to maintain his pledge to the
German Emperor ito continue the
war to the end" Charles made use
of the famous Dear sixtus" letter,
an autographed missive written in
April, 1918. to Prince Sixtus de Bour-
bon for transmission to the French
government in which the rlouarch
said Frances claim to Alsace-Lor-
raine was justified"

Office claiming it had been written by

a French ecclesiastic who had been
acting as confessor to Empress Zita,
subsequent events proved its authen-
ITCHY. 1t was the first revelation Of the
break between the German Emperor
and his vassal king. Previously, EN-
peror Charles had indicated his de-
sire for peace, however, in "peeches
before the Reichsrat. In December.
1917. he declared his willingness to
conclude peace with the Allies IL
they would guarantee the integrity
of Austria Hungary.
Conditions in the dual monarchy
were rapidly growing worse. There
were many cabinet changes and as
sassinations. The Magyars, Czecho-
Slavs and other nationalitles were
clamoring for constitutional reforms
and autonomous government
Lot Not a Happy One
Thereafter Charles lot was. far
from being a happy one. He was re-
ported to have refused to send Aus
trian troops to the western battle
front despite the German Emperor's
importantly. In every way he en-
deavored to stem the tide of revolu-
tion which seemed to be rising. He

Stevens Trade school football team,

disbanded October 2S on account of
the draft. So the report goes as
given by T. X. Tiffany, manager of

team which played the Academy Sat-
urday was a scrub bunch, or, de-
scribed in better language, "the Stew
ems Trade school reserves" Tiffany
further alleges that the Saturday
game was scheduled Friday noon,
and that the reserves" had but
one small hours practice before
coming to this city. They believed
they were to play practice game"
with the Academy boys
There is no doubt whatever that
the Saturday game was little more
than practice for Academy.
