New Austria Different
From the Old Country;
People Are Victorious
RY ERANK J. TAYLOR.

New Austria is asc different from
the old Hapsburg Austria as is Po-
land, Czecho Slovakia or any Of the
other nations which have broken
away from the former monarchy,
President Seitz, of the Austrian re-
public, declared in an interview.
Seitz, who came here to attend the
international labor and social con-
gress, was raised in a. Vienna or
phanage. His parentage is unknown.
He educated himself while tailor's
apprentice. Later he became a
teacher and finally figure in poll
&tics as a Socialist leader.
"Austria's revolution was easier
than those which surrounded her, but
it was equally complete" said SeitZ
I'VE have had a peoples victory
parts of the former empire. The
idea seems prevalent in entente cir
cles that Austria is merely the old
empire, shrunken as the result OF
Separation. This is not true. We
revolted just as the others did. We
than losers, though we have no army
to defend us.
Under the principle Of self-deter-
mination we wish to join with Ger
many. Except for a few capitalists
and reactionaries who still hope to
see Vienna the political center Of a
rejuvenated empire; we have encoun-
tered no objection to a union with
Germany. A confederation Of the
elements Of the old dual monarchy is
impossible. The Czecho-Slovaks,
Jugo-SIovaks and Hungarians are un-
friendly to each other and could not
agree. They have no common Ian
guage except German, for diplomatic
and political transactions. Much
business naturally will be handled
through Vienna, but politically they
will all be independent.
1.-The financial problem is serious,
but the Czecho-Slovaks and the 9TH
ers must assume their share of the
Austro-H Hungarian war debt and help
stabilize our currency.
"The food situation in Vienna is
frightful. Some food has been re
ceived from the allies, for which we
are very grateful. But we must have
more food and we must have coal
and materials so that we can resume
our normal industrial life. There is
no danger of BolSheViSm, unless
starvation increases"

" HE OlueSt woman III AtIdAt','
one of the Oldest in the world,
is celebrating her 1929 birth
day at the home of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. l.. A. Price, aged seventy
two years, in Atlanta.
You reach the house by going out
Whitehall street, turning into Stew
art avenue and following the car line
a block or so down Dill avenue from
Stewart. It isn't far from the Can
dler warehouse, and not such dis
lance across country from Fort Nc
Pherson.
The old. old lady whose life
reaches back to the beginning of the
nation, to a time when the War OF
1912 was still a fresh and vivid Incl
dent, is Mrs. Elizabeth Osborne De
Hart.
She was born 1O2 years ago at
in New York City and came to At
lanta thirty years ago to make her
home on Dill avenue with her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Price.
When mother and daughter first
moved here Capitol View was a
patch of woods and about the only
person living in that section was
the late Andy Stewart, for years tax
collector of Fulton county.
Slowly the days have passed, Mrs
De Harris descendants have increaS-
ed to five generations, old friends
have passed, but her life has follow
has grown weaker. For over a year
now, since her 101st birthday, she
has been unable to walk, and hasn't
threaded a needle or done any sew
ing since she was 100 years old.
Not Sick or Childish
But she is not sick. she is not
childish. She seems to you at f1rst
white and impressive and dignlt1ed
Her hair is like snow, and INFINITELY
soft and fine, and her skin is of deli
cate pearly texture. One reason she
has lived so long is because she has
never worried. She puts trouble and
doubt away from her and lives with
faith and confidence.
She seems as serene as something
beyond the effects of time. The. years
are slowly taking her strength, but
not her courage, not her hope. She
is like an example to all the world
of how life can be lived, OF how time
can be conquered.
She suggests a figure by some
great author, some splendid artist
the disfiguring marks of old age;
simply the slow dwindling that
comes with many years.
Her mind is alert, her spirit
flashes at times with the l1ghtness
and laughter of girl. Her memory
reaches back to her childhood, and
for a few minutes she talks with
YOU as zestfully as a person of mid
die age. Then she begins to weary
and settles back into the calm ST
lence that makes her seem SO white
and impassive and serene.
Deafness Annoys Her
The thing that annoys her most is
deafness. You have to speak loud
ly for her to hear, but the moment
she catches your words she knows
your meaning and her answer is
quick and touched at times with
sparkling humor.

birthday" she said.

"And beer, too" she answered. A
