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.
