A mm m m A UNITED warmest wishes are that an internal ' peace will be able to heal the wounds of this war. (Signed) "CHARLES." (Countersigned) "LAMMASCH." Emperor Charles I of Austria, King of Hungary, 'was an unpromising maJoT in an Austrian infantry regi ment when the shot of the assassin who killed th Archduke Francis Ferdinand on June 28, 1914, made i him the heir apparent to the throne In j the "Hawk's Castle" on the banks of the River Aar. Two hundred or more monarchs of this historic house of Hapsburg ruled for centuries the land of Magyar, Slav and Teuton centuries of blood shed, tyranny and aggression -and I sleep their last sleep in the wonder ful crypt of the Capauchln Church in Vienna. Emperor Francis Joseph, the aged predecessor of the youthful Charles, seeing "the handwriting on the wall," had hoped to unite the diss! cordant elements, among his 50,000,000 subjects whose racial antagonisms were .complicated by the absorption ; by Austria of the SeTblan provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1918. ' It was the Archduke Francis Ferdinand's determination to bring about a triune empire made upof Magyar, Slav and German states, it is generally believed, that led to his assassination in Sarajevo. Francis Ferdinand feared the dual monarchy might be ended upon the deatji of j Francis Joseph by the Intervention of Russia or Germany and sought thus to forestall It. tIiarlc Bom in 1887. Charles I was born August 17, 1 887, the son of the late Archduko Otto of Saxony. He married he princess Zita of the Bourbon house of Parma (Italian) in 1911. When the Nunc Dimlttis was sung for his dead grand uncle, the Emperor Francis Joseph, the only achievements or Uharies i brought to public notice were that ho was a keen sportsman, an excellent shot and motorist. Frequently he was i seen in the parks of Vienna wheeling one of his young dukes in a baby perambulator. When he acceded to the throne on December 30, 1916, Autria-Hungary, torn by four years of the war, saw the first faint gleam ! 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 Germnn state. Hindenburg's successes in Oallcia in 1916, In which Charles shared as a commander In the field, gave the young monarch a pres tige which enabled him to hold the Austrians to the Central owers until the collapse of Bulgaria and Turkey and the final crash. Numerous peace overtures and manoeuvres characterized the diplo macy of the dual monarchy after Francis Joseph's death, precipitated doubtless by bread riots and other out breaks throughout Austria, Unable to maintain his pledge to the German Emperor "to continue to the war to the end" Charles made use of the famous "Dear Sixtus" letter, an auto graphed missive written In April, 1918, DO NOT STOP THE NEW SLOGAN i jli i Money Will Be Needed to Our Boys for Some Time G WAR WORK CAMPAIGN ten 1 Somebody Is Always WrtElO You HAve TRtet FOR A Commits f cm t IT HAS 8SM pVJoRABt-V rW3Ss6 VI Port Pay You G&t ANOTHER FAvoRAtJLS LETTER FaOM Tr6 VUAR DEPT. to Prince .Sixtus de Bourbon, for transmission to the French govern ment in which the monarch said France's claim to Alsace-Lorraine was "justified." Although the letter was denounced as a "forgery" in Vienna, the Foreign Office claiming it had been written by a French ecclesiastic who had been acting as confessor to the Empress Zita, subequent events proved Its authenticity. It was the first revela tion of the break between the German Emperor and his vassal king. Pre viously, Emperor Charles had indi cated his desire for peace, however, in speechws before the Ilelchsrat.

Conditions in the dual monarchy were rapidly growing worse. There were many cabinet changes and as sassinations. The Magyars, Czecho Slavs and other nationalities were clamoring for constitutional reforms and autonomous government. Emperor Has Much Trouble. Thereafter Charles' lot was far from being a happy one. He was reported to have refused to nd Austrian troops to the western battle front de spite the German Emperor's impor tunity.

He promised all kinds of reforms and as a sop to his discontented subjects pardoned 24 prisoners awaiting trial at Sarajevo for high treason. On October, 1918, he announced plans for the Federalization of Autria-Hungary and in an address to the Hungarian Diet frankly admitted his throne was in "peril." A day or two later Count Karolyi, leader of the Hungarian republicans, announced the success of a bloodless revolution in Budapest and declared Hungary a free and independent state.
