If the widespread area of the great confla'gration which now lights up the skies, from the English Channel to the Caspian: Sea, must be mapped, the evil star' will have to be placed in the jumbled centre of Old Vienna. where, in the 85th year of his life and the 67th of his reign, Francis Joseph calmly sits at his desk in the Hofburg. It is true the age-d Emperor did not overturn the' lamp that red day last July: but it see-ms reasonable to. assume that had he chosen he could have kept the blaze under control. . Where the War. Began A Short history of the Dual- Monarchy which has Caused More Wars, and Won Fewer Battles than Any Other Power in Europe. Austria long has been the tinder box of Europe. A Hapsburg struck? the flint which ignited the Thirty Years War, the War of the Spanâ€" ish Succession, the war of he! Austrian Succession, the war against the French Revolution,‘ the Napoleonic wars, the revolu-' tionary uprisings of 1848 and the Franco-Italian war in 1859. And it was from the Hofburg, that un-l happy breeding place at strife i that the present war of the na- tions burst forth with the fateful Serbian ultimatum on July 23 1914. Now the Russians stand in the Carpathian passes, looking out over the tempting plains of Hun- gary, and the Serbians and the Montenegrins are gloating in tri- umph on the Danubian, frontier while the R-oumanians are moving their camps to the borders of Transylvania, and the Ital‘ans are swarming in the Tyrolean defile-s or hovering about the shore of the Adriatic. Nearer still, and at the very gates of the Hofburg, a muttering pOpulace, swaying be- tween hunger and anger, alter- nately cries out for peace and war while within the palace the air 01' the council chamber is filled with the jealous clamor of Teuton and magyar. Yet we may be sure that the Emperor maintains his imperial calm. For 66 years and more he has sat on the Vesuvius which has been the throne of his ancient race through the more than six centuries since Rudolph of Haps- burg split the helmet of a B0- hemian King out on the March- field across the river from Vienna. Happily for him, Francis Joseph does not come of a nervous fam- ily and however violent the con- vulsions about him he has generâ€" ally been equal to his 20 cigars a day. For he well knows that no other throne has been shaken so often or has stood so long. Hapsburgs Wars . The Hapsburgs have started mom- '-.;.'a-rs and lost more wars than any other of the war lords in Europe. But they have sur- vived them all, and even profited by defeat. This extraordinary monarchy has been like the shrewish wife. The world never has known how to get along with the Hapsburgs. nor how to get along without them. For generations before; Napoleon at Austerlitz snatched from their heads the crown of the Caesars, they had not been. mere Emperor-s of the Austrian but of the Holy Roman empire; Theirs was the first and for cen-, Now we speak of the Emperor of Ausrtia, the Emperor of Russm, the Emperor of Japan, the Em- peror of India, the German Em- peror, and even of the Emperor of Morocco, as once we spoke of an Emperor of Brazil and an Em- peror of Mexico. But until the coming of the Corsican iconoclast men spoke only of THE Emperor and that , defined the Hapsburg turies the end-om. Although he was titularly the Roman Emperor, he was more often referred to as the Emperor of Germany. For before the rise of Napoleon the Austrian mon- archy was, as the Prussian monâ€" archy is now. the head of the German nations. As the Chieftain, the overlord of Germany when the Germans were divided into 200 or 300 retty states, the Hapsburg Emperor was deemed a necessity to the German world and to the balanv of Europe. The S ck Man cf the West Since Napoleon expelled the Hapsburgs from Germanv. and since Prussia drove them out again and forever, they have seemed to be no less a necessity as a means of extracting order from that chaos which we call the Austrian-Hungarian empire. Some- one has said, indeed, that if Aus- tria did not exist'it would have to be invented. It is the veritable THE DURHAM CHRONICLE. sole empire in Christ- Turkey of Christendom, where alien and jealous nations and races are held together under the sul g . 13:3 of the Hapsburgs.A1thougn the Austrian Emperor long ha: been the sick man of ' the West anxious neighbors have nursed him through every crisis in order to postpone the evil day of quar- relinng among themselves over the division of his estate. Francis Joseph himself. for ex- ample, fought three years before embarking upon the uncharted sea of trouble over which he is no“ tacking his course. His Uncle Fer- dinand, who was driven from the throne in the revolution of 1818, when he abdicated in favor or his 18-year-old nephew, was filled with envy and regret as he saw his successor thriving on military defeats. “It was not necessarv to have dethroned me,” the ex-Em- peror said, “I, too, Could have lost battles.” ‘ This dreibund is almost as strange a bedfell-owing as poli- tics could produce. The ..lli Ince between Germany and Austria is the yoking of Hohenzollern imagâ€" ination and emotionalism with Bapsburg phlegm, northern ener- gy with southern indolence, mod- ern swiftness with ancient slow- ness, Prussian efficiency with Aus- trian inefficiency. The Au tro- German border cannot be crossed without the difference being seen from the car window. For the Austrian Teuton is of another gtime and clime from the north {German But as often as the sword of Francis Joseph has failed him someone has come to his rescue. When Kossu'th’s Hungarians had beaten him into helplessness in 1849, he was saved from the loss of Hungary by the Czar, who sent an army to his assistance. He pre- cipitated the war of 1859 with France and Italy, but when he was defeated at Solferino, he promptly received first aid from Napoleon III., who resusitated him by rermittintg him to keep Ven- ice, Veneitia, the Trentina and Dalmatia. 'V “U vr-“v_--' , T e army is well equipped [thanks to Prussian push, and the gsev'eral races of the Austrian em- ;pire have shown on many .a field .that they were Willing enough to *die together, however unwilling ‘they ever have been to live to- .But an army that has not had a :great hero in 200 years nor a :victorious leader since Prince Eu- jgene must go to war under a :grave moral handicap. .The Campground of the Races Next, Prussia fell on him like ; thunderbolt in 1866, in what his- tory sometimes; derides as the seven days’ war, when Moltke surprised and swept Francis Jo- seph’s army with a new weapon the “needle gun,” which fired five shots a minute, against one a minute from the old-fashioned guns of the Austrians. But when the victory was swiftly won, even the Iron Chancellor relented and would not take a rod of earth from the defeated monarch. 0n the contrary, Bismark stood him on his feet again and gave him 1 new shield in the form of atriple alliance. 3 In a long and uncertain strug- ‘gle it is a still greater weakness of the Austrian army to be with- jout the stimulous of patriotism, Ewithout the insp'iratio-n‘ of a na- ‘tional sentiment.

Yet Vienna is more splendid than brilliant and impatient visi._-â€" ors have been so unkind as to call tne charming Viennese stupid. Perhaps it is not their fault. The Hapsburgs never have wanted men around them who thought too much. â€"â€"â€" __ Whether Germany will find her Austrian ally an an asset or a liability the development of he war will disclose. One certainty is that Austria is very poor, Being the eastern outpost of Europe has not given, her that feeling of se- curity on which a great trade builds its plans. .nn 0. l 1 A1 ”“55“U -V'U r-wâ€"w' The Balkan wars hit it hard. and even before the present crisis, credit was gone and bankruptcy was; epidemic. m-UM§._â€"Tiey have failed to mingle and merge because no one 1 For instance, the Germans in- sist on having the political and social leadersnip of Austria,’ the .Magyar aristocracy of Hung lrv ganct the-Poles of Austrian Poland. iof Galicia.

But lately the Czechs. have been able to gain an equality for their language, and now the poor post- master and other officials must stand ready to answer questions in either German or Czechish. The Blttt'r suife of the Ba (:38 Austrian currency is fearfully and wonderfully made. The value of the money is printed in Ger- man, Czech., Polish, Serbo-Croatian Slovene, Italian and Roumamanian.

When I arrived in Vienna, writes a W-ell known traveller. and \‘.as passing turougn tne hortn Station, 1 had tue good fortune to meet tne personn‘ica- tion. of Francis Joseph’s polyglot mnpii'c. he was a tall man in a tall cap, standing behind acounter fully 50 feet from the human stream amid which I was float- ing out of the trainshed. Never mistaking me even at that dist- ance, he hailed me in pleasing English and 1D\ ited me to step up to his countei for the customs ex- amination. While I stood there waiting for my baggage to be brought up and Opened for in- spection the tall man continued to hail the passing tiavellers, and each in his own language. Without once missing his guess, Ruthen- ians, Poles, Bohemians, Hungari- ans Slovenes, Slovaks, Croats. Roumanians, Servians, Italians and I know what not, all were cut out of that herd of humanity as deftly as a cowboy cuts out a certain steer in a herd of cattle on the plain-s. M'y wondering ad- miration grew until I ventured to ask the human tower of Babel how many languages he had on his tongue. “Oh,” he modestly an- swered, “I am expected to know a little of 17. but not much.” If, however, he is as ready and fluent Thus the empire is not only fill- ed with a conflict of tongues, some 20 languages being more or less recognized officially, but it is also rended by insane jealousies. The strife is bitter and petty be- yond the imagination of anyone who has not been an unhappv witness to it. On many of the railway lines to Vienna from the outer world. the traveller is likely to find the bills of fare in the station restaur- ants printed in a local tongue as well as in German: Presumably there are Poles, Czechs, Slovenes. and Croats who would starve rather than order their food from a German bill. The lingual discord extends to the very name of the towns along the way, each race insisting on a different designation and refusing to recognize the other. In such instances the lot of the railwav mail clerk hardly can be ahappy one. For he must remember, as he sorts and bags his letters that Praha is thesame as Prague, Brno as Brunn, Postojna as Adelsberg, Gorizia as Gorz, Lwow as Lem- berg, Zadar as Zara, Dubrovnik as Ragusa, Kator as Cattaro, Pozsonv asAPressburg and Rieka as Fuime. On going to Austerlitz it is mo- mentarily disconcerting to have the town vanish at your approach and 'to find yourself in Slawkow. But it is still more bewildering the moment the train crosses the boundary between Austria and Hungary. Thenceforth the guard calls out only the Hungarian names of the stations, and the lis- tening passenger who bought a ticket in Austria for Stuhlweissen- berg is expected to know that Szekesfehervar is his destination: that Nagyszombat really is only Tyrnau and that a certain kind of vocal explosion staudsior Sat- oraljaujhely.
