for instance, and the other civil-and
there have been two distant poles of
one Observation-Disclosures and Alex
andria, Rome and Byzantium. But
what you have not had is duality of
the metropolitan type in a compare
lively narrow area, and the presence
between two rival nuclei Of human
energy of such tremendous contrasts
coupled with so numerous and often
hidden similarities.
Paris and London are only little
more than two hundred miles apart
and though the sea lies in between,
it is at it's narrowest passage not
twenty miles broad. And yet, even
when our European civilization was
more united than it is to-day, the
two towns were pivots upon which it
turned.
Perhaps the chief contrast be-
tween the two great cities is the
military one. Though there are
many others, most of them are ulti-
mately connected with the military

crumbled to dust. His successor,
Charles, last ruler Of his line, was
compelled 10 seek refuge in that
same Switzerland which, seventeen
years ago, had opened her hospitable
gates to the outlawed Leopold Ferdi-
nand. The princes and princesses
Of Hapsburg blood are themselves
fugitives, banished for life from the
republics which have risen from the
wreckage of the Austro-Hungarian
monarchy, and whose safety would
be compromised by their presence
And now that no one bearing the
namo Of Hapsburg may live on Aus
trian soil, plain Herr Leopold Wolf
ling is free to enter and stay. Thus,
by a strange stroke of fate, the cata-
clysm that shook the world in its
foundations has served to redress the
balance of justice in the life of one
man.

strengthened his rcbellious tcndcn-
cics.
His temperament was omphati-
cally that of the artist and epicurean
man of the world; had he been born
son Of the prosperous middle
class he might have become writer
or painter, and might have possibly
achieved distinction. AS it was, his
time and energy were spent in futile,
ceaselcss battles against rules and
conventions, against discipline and
superior officers-above all, against
the head of the family, the Emperor
Francis Joseph, q narrow-minded
and peevish old man whose fetch
was what he called the dynastic
interest.

Francis Joseph's scheme of things;
and, in accordance with his instruc-
lions, nothing was left undonc to
"break in" the family scapegrace,
the young Leopold Ferdinand.
He was transferred from one
regiment to another; the worst,
most tedious garrisons were picked
for him. He retaliatcd by deliber-
ately plunging into series of
scandals and by making no secret
of what he thought of his august
family and the Emperor himself.
For a time he was assigned to the
navy, where the captain of his ship
reported him to be incapable, dis
solute and lazy" He was put back
into the army, and the old game
recommended. 1t was, however.

one when he was acting without or
against the advice of that body.
London is commercial in it's geog-
laphy, because it stands at the first
bridge across the main estuary
which enjoyed a strong tide, follow
ing on to the channel tide round
Kent. 1t drew to itself the COM
merce of the west also because it
felicitously stood at the border be-
tween the Teutonic and the Latin
systems of the Continent. There is,
of course, much more in the devel-
cpment of city than the material
causes, but they are worth noting.
The corresponding city in France
to London was Rouen, but Rouen
never became the centre. 1t was
Paris, high up, where the river was
narrow, that, at the conveyance of
the inland waterways, the Disc and
the Marine, with the Seine, and fur
Their drawing traffic from the valley
of the Yonne, became the inland

something here symbolic, for Lon
don has always been half a sea
town, not only because it was port,
but because the salt water reached
it; the habit of the sea was to be
found in it's streets. To this day
you can wander about in the region
Of the Tower and between that hill
and Liverpool Street and find just
those little sailor shops which you
find in the small seaport towns in
the island, although the Pool is no
longer the heart of the commerce of
London, and all the main work Of
the shipping is now done far away

T1cin Romance

The dramatic turn in the former
archduke's fortunes recalls the twin
romance which a decade and half
ago thrilled the newspaper readers
Of two continents. For Leopold Wolf
ling is the brother of the Countess
Montignoso, formerly Crown Prin-
cess Louise Of Saxony, who, in De-
cember, 1902, escaped, with her broth
er's aid, from her husbands court to
Geneva, was joined there by the
tutor Of her children, the young Bel
gian, Andre Giron, and who later be-
came the wife Of the Florentine pi-
anist Enrico Toseil.
Leopold Wolfling was born in
Salzburg on December 2, 1868, as
eldest son Of Ferdinand ", last of
the rcigning grand dukes Of Tuscany,
who had lost his throne and coun-
try in the struggle Of which united
Italy was born. Both Leopold Ferd-
nand and his sister, the Archduchess
Louise, born September 2, 1870,
we're, from their earliest age, re-
bellious, revolutionary children, to-
tally different from the other little
archdukes and archduchesses.
The two formed a solemn alliance.

other in their common struggle for
decentralization, that is, to live
their own lives according to their
own ideas. They hated family re-
strictions and the strict Spanish Ell
quette Of the Vienna and Salzburg
courts; they reacted to the rigid
catholic atmosphere of their parents
house by becoming what was regard
ed in their circle as dangerous free
thinkers. They used to speak of
their home as an "inquisitorial
prison."
Military life, for which the young
Leopold Ferdinand, like his BROTH
crs and cousins, was destined, did not
break his spirit, as his fond parents
had expected; discipline and the mo-
notony of garrison routine merely

By Eugene S. Dagger

" HERE is one member of the
once mighty House of Haps-
burg, now thrown from it's
pinnacle Of power in defeat
and ignominy, to whom tho dynas-
tic catastrophe has brought the
realization Of his life's dream.
His name is-now-Herr Leopold
Wolfling; his occupation, retired !;
his address, Switzerland. Sounds
bourgeois enough, does it not? Yet
seventeen years ago he was His
Imperial Highness Archduke Leo
pold Ferdinand of Austria, Grand
Duke Of Tuscany, Royal Prince Of
Hungary and Bohemia, Knight Of
the Order of the Golden Fleece and
Colonel Of the Imperial and Royal
Army Of Austria-H Hungary.
For seventeen years he was an
exile from his native land. He had
committed that deadliest Of sins
with which -in-purple son Of
the proudest Of reigning families
may disgrace himself and his house
he tried to be q man, to think with
his own head and to act according
to the light Of his conscience. For
this the penalty was to be perpetual
Punishment. He was forbidden ever
30 tread Austrian soil and to enter
his beloved city Of birth, the home
Of his childhood, Salzburg.
Then the war broke out the
former afchduke, from his Swiss
refuge, applied for permission to
join the Austro- Hungarian army as
a private soldier. The old Emperor,
who could never forgive him that
be had braved his will, denied the
request. 1t was said that the arcfl-
dukes mother, the Dowager Grand
Duchess of Tuscany, threw herself
on hsr knees before the Fmperor's
feet on two occasions, entreating
him for the supreme favor of let
ting her son die for his native land.
It vas Of no avail.
But now all has changed. The
old Empfror is dead and his empire

but very short radius Of action.
In both capitals you have the tcn-
dency OF the monarch's palace to 90
westward of the town. You have the
series first of the Louvre outside the
walls, then Versailles and ST. Ger
main, just as YOU have the series
first Of Whitehall, Westminster. then
of Hampton Court and lastly of
Windsor.
In both capitals you have the sur
vival and the disappearance of the
Roman roads upon which the origi-
nal Of each was based. But the
Roman roads hare survived better
in London than in Paris. Only one
Of the great Roman roads in Paris
is still quite intact; it is that from
the top of the University across to
the Northern Gate. called at differ
ent parts of its line the Rue ST Mar
tin and the Rue St jacques. But in
London you have great stretches Of
the Roman road from Strpatham
and the Old Kent Road, ali Oxford
Street, Holborn and the Bayswater
Road, and the Edgewarc Road and
the thoroughfarc through White
chapel to ESSEX. and I think por-
tons of the North Road as well.
Each capital has. of course, rs
great medieval abbey Wcstmn-
ster for London, St Germain dcs
Pres for Paris. But in all this
similarity there is one final differ
ence in continuity On the material
side it is due to the Groa' lire Of
London two hundred and fifty years
ago, but on the moral side it is due
to the difference in character be-
tween the two peoples
