SOLVING FOOD DIFFICULTIES Austrian Emperor by Tireless Work Has Relieved Eco nomic Troubles Tl*una, Feb. 20, via London, Feb. KS.—The intense cold weather has P*sed and a thaw has set in which has 9*lved the fuel difficulty of Vienna and incidentally greatly facilitated the importation of food stuffs. The A flour mills which were shut down -<ing to frozen rivers are again in operation and full bread rations arc once more in force. Emperor Charles has been a tire less worker in the campaign to relieve economic conditions and the imperial teams are still hauling coal for the populace. The sight of the blooded etock, heretofore only harnessed to state coaches, hauling heavy coal trucks is one of the curious war time incidents in the Austrian capital. The Emperor recently banished wheat bread fro mthe officers' mess at army headquarters and had both wheat ■bread and flour removed from a spe- , c-ial train which was taking his broth er, Archduke Maximilan, to Constan tinople. In issuing this latter order the emperor remarked that if the com mon soldiers, the people and himself were contented with black bread, the party on the train should be also. Cars All Running Another result of the monarch's in tervention has been that Vienna street cars are still running day and night, Dr. Weiskiehner, the burgo master, had decided that no cars should be run between 9 in the morn ing and 5 in the afternoon. The em peror Informed Dr. Weiskirchner that this step must not be thought of and cit first the burgomaster threatened to resign. After a talk with the emperor over the telephone, however, the head of the municipality changed his mind. It appears that Dr. Weiskirchner told the emperor that the cars must be stopped on account of lack of coal. He was promptly told that it was his business to find fuel and he did so. In order to avoid side stepping by the city council the emperor himself fixed the number of cars which were to run. Some official circles In Vienna and elsewhere throughout the empire have not yet recovered from the shock caused by the energetic methods of Emperor Francis Joseph's young suc cessor. Red tape has been cut right and left and official heads continue to fall in the general clean up which is still going on. It is a sad time for certain army officers who have been enjoying staff sinecures. In one official order the emperor sent a batch of seventy to the front and replaced them by invalid officers. While the official classes were at first inclined to offer passive resistance to the em peror they have now resigned them selves to the inevitable. Those who fejt the pace of the new regime too fast are resigning, while the rest are at tempting to live up to the monarch's demands for hard work, efficiency and punctuality. The energy and force of character displayed by the young einperor arc attributed by those who know him to the fact that he was reared in what was far from the lap of luxury, com paratively speaking. His branch of the imperial family was notoriously poor and before he became heir apparent he was often actually hard up.
