The twenty-nlnc-year-old nmporor of tho Dual Monarchy, who Is nt present In Vienna, has already assumed his Imperial duties. A Germnn Rcner.il may succeed tho Emperor as commander of tho Carpa thian troops Whether or not a new Government for Austria and Hungnry will follow the change of rulers Is not yet certain Tho body of the late Francis Josopli will bo Interred In a Cnpuchln mausoleum norm time next wcok, probably on Thursday.

The Austro-Hungarlan court has gone Into mourning.

It waa pointed out hero that there could bo no mistaking tho character of tho Britannic. No submarine commander could have failed to identify tho ship, not only from tho fact that sho carried the usual hospital emblems, but bocauso sho was the biggest ship of her kind In tho world. That the vessel was, therefore, tho victim of a deliberate attack was tho ver dict here. Tho smallness of the loss of life the Ad miralty places It at about fifty Is at tributed to the large number of lifeboats an board, tho discipline of the crew and the completo absence of panlo. Tho Britannic remained afloat nearly nn hour after tho explosion occurred early Tuesday mdrnlng. Tho twenty-eight wounded are being cared foron Zea Island by members of the staff of 121 nurses carlcd by the Britannic So mo of tho wounded aro In such a serious condition they may die.
