EVANSVILLE. Ind, sept. 30
Speculation is rife here as to the
origin of figures found on a chunk
OF coal. 268 feet below the surface.
The chunk bore the figures in raised
characters. 33S.33S.39S. 1t was
found by John Tolliver. a miner
and taken to a local newspaper
Office
one theory advanced is that an
cient Americans were able 10 use
figures, and understood the Roman
numerals. IL has been suggested the
figures we're cut and in some man
ner placed upon some substance
which by the process OF nature
finally became coal.

TREASON CHARGED
TO AUSTRIAN KING
Revealed Battle Plan to Italy,
One Runlor.
Ry IN, Associated Press

LONDON, July 6.--No light has yet
been shed on the mysterious rumors con-
cerning Emperor Charles and Empress
Zita of Austria which DR.. Won Seydler'
the Premier, recently found necessary to
deny when his attention was called to
them by a group of Austrian Deputies.
The Premier denounced these base and
absolutely senseless tales and declared
that any one caught spreading the
rumors would be punished severely.
One report circulating among certain
Continental papers is that the royal pair
is charged with revealing the plans OF
the recent battle along the Plave TO the
Italians. Another report Is that the
Emperor and Empress planned to flee
from Austria.
The origin of the rumors Is not given.
but a theory advanced is that the Aus
trian public is indignant at Emperor
Charless peace overtures through Prince
Sixtus OF Bourbon, which caused sem
sation in diplomatic circles OF the Cen
tral Empires.
According to messages from Vienna.
the visit of the Deputies to DR.. Won
Seydler was preceded by a public meet
ing of the Christian Social party, last
Sunday. which was attended by Cardinal
PIN. Archbishop OF Vienna. and where
the rumors concerning Emperor Charles
and Empress zita were energetically
denied The Austrian State censor pro-
hibited publication of the details OF
this meeting.

LONDON. July 6.-The humiliation Of
the Austrian generals and their replace
ment by Germans has increased the
spirit Of decentralization In the Austrian
army, dispatches from Switzerland state.
1t appears that when Emperor Charles
hesitated to comply with the demand Of
Gen. Ludendorff. made in person. that
mand and that three Austro- Hungarian
generals be removed summarily, Luden-
dorff produced an autograph letter from
Kaiser Wilhelm insisting upon the
change.
Emperor Charles had to choose be-
tween accepting the orders from Berlin
or defying the German Emperor. To the
surprise Of his own generals he yielded
which means virtually the absolute mill
tary annexation Of Austria Hungary by
Germany.
The Munich ZeitunO says that when
Emperor Charles announced that he
would accept the demands OF Gen. Luden-
dorfr all the Austro- Hungarian generals
at the conference left the room indig-
nantly, and when Ludendorff departed
from Vienna none OF them went to the
station, as always has been customary.
So certain was the Kaiser that the
Austrian Emperor would yield that Won
Buelow had received orders to proceed
to the Austrian front before the Kaiser's
demands were made on the Emperor
Charles. The German control OF the
Austrian Government Is 20 complete

LONDON. July 6.-Austria Is filed with
rumors OF the fight OF the Emperor and
Empress. according to dispatches re-
ceived here from Switzerland. This
report and others attacking the Empress
and sugges.ing scandalous revelations,
which are particularly current in Ger
many, have been contradicted and de-
nounced by Premiers Won Seydler and
Wekerie but their circulation is eloquent
OF the state OF public sentiment in the
Dual Monarchy.
When Germany and Austria. says one
correspondent. abolished the Russian
front they little expected the formation
of new frontier, more dangerous than
any held by an army, which Is now be-
ing crossed by revolution. famine and
disease. One can get little Information
regarding conditions in Austria-Hun-
gary. but what one does hear Indicates
starvation and an epidemic Of hunger
typhus. The influenza epidemic has now
appeared at Budapest and is approach
Ing also by way Of Danzig.
Rumanian peasants, realizing that the
a larder, have been burning their crops.
prefering to starve themselves rather
than feed the enemy. according to des-
patches received at Geneva from Ru-
mania. From the Ukraine come similar
reports OF revolt against the Germans
The uprising near kiev has become a
widespread insurrectionary movement
and has spread to parts Of Poltava and
Chernigoff Not only are the Germans
prevented from collecting food but now
and again German officers are killed
mysteriously.
These peasant movements will mean
a heavy drain on the man power oi
Germany. Germany il now able TO reed
herself although on scant rations. but
Austria cannot do this. The peasants
Of the Ukraine and OF Rumania In enec'
are now taking bread away from the
Austrian army. The Austrian troops
who retreated over the Piave were. with
out exaggeration. actually starving.
