Mnrrlage In Prince Mil The marriage of Kmperor Charles to Princess Zita took place in 1911 She Is a princess of the Bourbon house of Parma.

A l.nve Mlltrlr It Is said that her union with the Kir.iwror wah the result of a love match. Thn Knlperof Frauds Joseph was un derstood to have wanted Charles Fran cis Joseph to marry a daughter of the Archduchess Maria Valeria, his own favorite daughter, who was married in 1890 to the Archdjke Francis Salvator. of Hapsburg-Tuscany. Aside from his reputed dlsannolntment at the. failure of his plan, the old Kmperor was said , hi iiuve neen reiuciani to see ins crann nephevv marry into the family of Parma, which contains so many subnormal ntetrbers. Bu Hie Princess Y.ita impressed Iilni pa favorably after he had made her ac quaintance thn the late Kmptror. thlnk jne of his dead wife.

He sas: "In esmnectlon with Austria-Hungarian armistice, the iUestlou arises how the Allies can best utilize the situation ami vv hat action Is to he taken in Austro-Hiingiirlan teiilory. The follow ing Is a sketch which we have sug gest ed : "Politically, the- monarchy being In eomplete decomposition, each nation is entirely emancipated from the other anil bus an Independent aim Betweer, the Pole's, the Jugo-Slnvs and ouiselves there are eioso tics of which we nre conscious. "The economic sltuatlifii. especially, the Allies must lake Into account. The Czecho-SIovaks can still last a little time, as there is still some food In Bo hemia A catastrophe Is Imminent In Vienna, where there Is food for eight or ten days only The Czecho-Slovakn have cut off all communications be tween eiermnny and Vienna nnd have controlled thn food supply of Vienna, "Because, of this the danger of Bol shevism Is particularly serious In Vien na, and for special reasons In Budapest. Thn Czechs nlone can arrest the move ment, because they prepared In tlmn the administrative, transformation of the military anil economic machinery and have supplies for a certain lime, "Of capital Importance, therefore. It must be noted thnt the Czechs wish to rovictual Vienna to avoid Bolshevism, but on condition that new supplies are! sent, to them: the Czechs must mili tarily occupy all of Slovakia, for Bol shevism ran. easily pass west and reach even Allied countries If there be dis order. Polls)i territory Is also menacer, "Thus the Czechs can prevent the collusion of the Herman Austrlans and tiermany being effecleel Immediately culi nary to Allied Intere-sts. For thin Is of the first. Importance to maintain the I'oinmunlcutlon of the Allien with Bo hemia through Trlesta and Pressburg by occupying the territory where the Her mans and Magyars touch, so that these may 1m separated, the nrmlstlco con dition better applied, to each, the Czechs and Jugo-Slavs to remain In contact and tho Kntente can communicate directly with the Czecho-SIovaks. "AVe Insist particularly that the re gions of mixed nationalities north of Bohemia, must bo occupied. This will he facilitated because the supplying of tln'so regions can be done only from Prague. , "These suggestions are made with ono Idea, to prepare the way In Austria Hungary In order: "First. That Hie Kntente may profit by the central position of Bohemia. "Second. That they may dispose of all the fori'es of Austria-Hungary by so arranging the occupation that nothing can take place without or against them. "Third. That the Czechs may accord support to th Allies which may save their country and tho Allied countries from the Bolshevik movement, which Is very threatening. "Fourth. That the central position of Bohemia, tnoy give the Allies the possi bility of acting In Hungnry, Vienna, Ilu mania and Poland. "If, therefore, the Allies re-establish communications between Trieste and Trague (it must be done as soon ns possible) thej will have reached the central bulwurk of central Kurope.

It would be very satisfactory to the management if the stock was taken in small amounts. The Galleries were previously owned by the present manager, A. Clifton Mar tens, and were formerly the Haseltine Galleries, well known to art lovers throughout the world. Mr. Martens has enlarged the Galleries considerably, taking the building 1 822, and from the first opening the most satisfactory Financial Condition exists regardless of dis turbed conditions. The Galleries proved a remarkable investment for Mr. Martens, showing him a profit of over Three Hundred per cent on his investment. With the apparent end in view of the World's Conflagration the new fortunes that now exist have undoubtedly resulted in the natural stimulant to the purchase of objects of art. The American Art Galleries of Philadelphia is the largest and best-equipped gallery in Philadelphia, equaling the finest sales galleries in New York. It has exactly what Philadel phia required, as hundreds of thousands of dollars pass yearly to New York from Philadelphia for art objects. We offer this $ 1 00,000 of Treasury Stock for the 'purpose of purchasing additional stock and financing public sales of the estates at $90 per share, par value $100. The company was organized under the laws of Delaware for $500,000, all common stock, so that every one shares the profits equally. There are no salaries to officers, and their income must come from their efforts and the success they make. Personally Mr. Martens believes that no finer or safer investment exists in Philadelphia. Public and private sales of estates will yield remarkable returns. The profits in art objects are yery remarkable, and the very nat ural release of all conditions will assure their success. This stock is offered for two purposes, one to secure capital necessary, the other to place before the public that Philadelphia shall not find it necessary to go to New York for the. highest class of art objects. If the stock is sold in small amounts it will be the very best type of natural advertising. Mr. Martens is so certain of the success and remarkable returns on the stock that he will give a written guarantee to accept back, one year from the purchase date, all shares purchased at $90 and pay the purchaser, should he desire, par value $ 1 00. Checks for subscription should be made out to The American Art Galleries of Philadel phia. Shares are now ready. WILLIAM H.
