brought up at the meeting of the

MED.
One Ray Of Hope.
The only ray OF hope lies in the
fact that the Eastern executives
failed to adopt a resolution setting
forth their opposition TO the res
toratin of seniority. but, out Of the
fifty executives present, between
frty and forty-five stated emphat-
ically they had made guarantees
to the men who filled the strikers
places, and they considered them
selves honor-bound TO live up to
these promises. Not one dissenting
voice was raised against this posi-
ton, according to an authorized
representative of L. F. Loree. chair
man Of the Eastern group.
Alfred p. Thorn. general counsel
of the railroad executives, arrived
here tonight from Washington,
with President Harding's complete
proposal to end the strike.
No Feeling for Settlement.
1t is possible also that the ex-
ecutives did not want to slam the
door shut against compromise,
hut no one would admit this was
the reason for not adopting the res
olution. In fact. the authorized
spokesman said he could detect no
feeling among the executives that

uation IL expected to come to a
head.
The Germany reply to the French
note which was forwarded to Paris
today plainly stated that the
French demands could not be full
filled and criticized the course OF
France in acting independently of
the allies. The situation developed
as an outgrowth of Germany's re-
quest for a reduction Of payments
in compensation for private prop
erty claims. The French reply to
the German request was severe In
tone and threatened penalties II the
German obligations were not met.
The German note said substan-

sequence of which there Is no rea-
son for Germany to meet the

Franz Josef, in the early part of his reign, married Princess Elizabeth, of Bavaria, after breaking his betrothal to Elizabeth's older sister. Franz Jo- sef and Elizabeth had one son, heir to the throne, whose destiny it was to strike the worst blow at the Emperor of Sorrows.
 Rudolph showed great promise as writer and an artist and his accom- plishments attracted the attention of the whole of Europe. At the age of 23 he married the Princess Stephanie, daughter of King Leopold, of Belgium. It was not love match and Rudolph, from sheer boredom, started on reckless career. Stephanie was jeal- ous and the marital fireworks began. The end came when Rudolph and the beautiful Baroness Vetsera were found dead in the royal hunting lodge at Meyerling. The mystery of the double death has never been cleared. It is be- lieved in some quarters that Rudolph killed the Baroness and then commit ted suicide In any event the real truth will never be known.
 The Gay Widow
 Rudolph's widow became notorious for her excesses which the Emperor was powerless to control. Her daugh- ter, also, had the fatal touch of the Hapsburgs. She attempted to kill her husband and exnosed a family scandal

Karo1yi who pronounced the curse on the House of Hapsburg, who made the declaration of Hungary's tndepen- dence. At the same time other provinces declared their purpose to be- come separate entities and the House of Hapsburg with Charles at its wav>- ering head collapsed
 Charles Abdicates.
 Char1s abdicated on November 12, 1918, and lived in seclusion in Austria for several months. Then he packed up his family and went to Switzerland. There the last of the Hapsburgs with 8 few of their followers lived discon- tentedly until March 1921, when Zits became ambitious again and sent Charles back to Vienna to see what he could do about getting his throne back. Charles couldn't do much. Hs went to Budapest, where he was watched like a burglar and an- nounced he was about to confer the honor of his presence on his country once more. The country politely re- fused and on April 1 sent Charles back to Zita under armed guard
 The Hapsburgs sat quietly In Switzerland until October 20, and then made a descent on Oedenburg in an airp1ane. This time Zita accompanied Charles to see that he didn't do any, thing foolish. But she didn't know the Hapsburg hoodoo evidently.
 When Austria saw the ex-ruler with his 12,000 troops preparing to march on Budapest it got many more than 12,000 troops to meet him
 Charles was forced to sign abdica- ton of the throne for both himself and his son, it is reported, and now he faces exile on some little island that is not already occupied by runaway monarchs from the various other Eu- ropean houses.
 Unless something is done to muzzle the fearless Zita there is no proof that Charles will not again listen to schemes to regain his throne. It is not customary for deposed ruler to take his wife into battle to get back his crown, but Charles seems to break down unless Zita is beside him. Any way, from various reports, 1t appears that Zfta prefers travelling over half of Europe in an airplane to sitting with her knitting in Switzerland.
 It would seem as though the Haps- burg hoodoo is put away for all time. but don't be sure about it until the last vestfge of the family has died out As long as there is a Hapsburg there will be trouble. The ancient house has tumbled like house of cards, it's proud banners have been torn down and it looks as though ths hoodoo would have to come out of the attic and attach itself elsewhere.

burg ca1amities. As a result the en- tire world was engulfed in war.
 All the other sensations brought about by the great Austrian family paled before the 1914 disaster. The Hapsburg hoodoo had reached the pin nacle of its terrible success. There was nothing left for the Hapsburgs to precipitate. It was generally thought that the spell must be broken by the enormity of this last catastrophe.
 But it remained for Charles Francis Joseph. grand-nephew of Franz Jo- sci, and next in succession to the throne, to prove that the touch of the Hapsburgs is still tainted.
 GOaded by Zita.
 On the death of Franz Josef. in 1916, Charles became Emperor of Austria Hungary. Previous to that time he had been an officer in the Austrian army and excited much comment by his daring feats at the front, where he always seemed to be in the way of bullets. These brave stunts of Charles were laid to his wife, Zita, former princess of Bourbon-Parma, who wanted her husband to be a hero like Napoleon and didn't hesitate to photographers on the spot when Charles was scheduled to do some thing spectacular.
 Franz Josef. wishing to train his grand-nephew in the job of being Emperor, sent for Charles frequently and expected him to arrive at the royal palace at the appointed hour. But Charles, instead of being at the headquarters of the army, where the Emperor expected him to be. was al- ways miles farther away somewhere on the front lines. Consequently he never arrived on time, an oversight which perturbed the old Emperor greatly.
 After the death of Franz Josef and the ascension of Charles to the throne, Empress Zita became more and more ambitious for her royal spouse. She is supposed to have been partially the cause of the break which came be- tween the Kaiser and Emperor Charles. Zita recognized no master but herself, therefore. of course, she couldn't get along very well with Will helm. Anyway, Zita had two broth CTS in the Belgian army and two sis ters nursing for England, so she couldn't be expected to hope the Ger man army would be overwhelmingly successful.
 Revolution threatened in Austria Hungary. In 1918. Hungary declared herself a free and independent state By strange coincidence it was Count Karolyi. leader of the Hungarian re- publicans, and descendant of the

at sea. In any event, nothing was ever heard from any of the passengers or crew.
 After a few years of married life the Emperor's own domestic affairs began to trouble him. His wife fled to other parts of the continent and in her wanderings became famous for her ec- centricities. In September of 1898, when the empire was preparing for Franz Josefs fiftieth year of rule the Empress agreed to leave Switzerland, where she was staying, and attend the jubilee. Just as she was about to step into boat on Lake Geneva she was stabbed to death by an anarchist.
 Some time later the Emperor's granddaughter and favorite left her royal husband and eloped with an army officer whom she had seen only twice before.
 Francis Ferdinand, heir apparent to the throne, married beneath him and feESed the Emperor to acquiesce. The Emperor in turn forced Francis Fer dinand to swear before all the digni- taries of the court that should he be- come Emperor he would never attempt to raise his wife to the place of Empress or to establish the rights of succession for any of his children. Brought on War.
 Whether Francis Ferdinand would have kept to the letter of his oath is a question, for he did not live to ascend the throne. He and his wife, the Archduchess Sophie, were assas- sinated by a young Serb while on a visit to the capital of Bosnia, in 1914 It was the greatest of all the flaps

 There was something supernatural about the Hapsburg touch. It was a hoodoo. If any of the first families of Austria desired lively dinner party all that was necessary to insure ex- citement for the guests was to have 8 Hapsburg present. The dinner sell dom ended without a sensation that hlazed around the world for few days and then was forgotten in the light of the next Hapsburg happening.
 The next interesting Hapsburg was Maximilian T., who was one of the most Iudicrous rulers in history He was huge man of prodi gious strength. You may be led to think that. possessing such physical perfec- tions, he excelled at hunting or some such sport, but no, Maximilian's prin- cipal accomplishment was skipping rope. In that he was the personif1ca- ton of skill.
 He wanted to be clown. To further this aim he at one time is said to have posed on one leg on a thin bar of iron at the top of the Cathedral of Ulm while he waved the other leg in the air. What difficult question of state
