FRANCIS I0SEPH OF AUSTRIA DlfS AflFR REIGN O f SIXTY-EIGHT YEARS General Wood Congratulates Miss Ruth Law. London — Em peror Francis Joseph died Tuesday night at 9 o'clock at Schoenbrunn Castle, according to a Reuter dispatch from Vienna by way of Amsterdam. The aged monarch received the sac ram ent last Saturday. His condition became worse early Monday, and his tem perature increased in the a fte r noon. Telegraphing from Amsterdam, the C entral News correspondent says: “ Vienna reports that, although the death of the em peror had been expect ed, the news, which was p rint«! in special editions of the newspapers, made a deep impression on the public. A special cabinet m eeting was held. The heir to the throne. Archduke Charles Francis, has been for some tim e in Vienna. A m eeting of the Hungarian cabinet has been called to Budapest. Prem ier Tisza will a fte r wards come to V ienna.’’ W hat gave some credence to the sus picion that Francis Joseph's condition was much graver than the official bul letins indicated was the report, which still lacks official confirmation, th at it had been decided to associate the heir to the throne, Archduke Charles F ran cis, in the government of the country and th at the archduke was to assume | the position December 2, the 68th an niversary of the em peror’s ascension to the throne. Archduke Charles Francis, grand nephew of Em peror Francis Joseph, | became heir to the throne of Austria- Hungary by the assassination of Arch- ! duke Francis Ferdinard, prior to the outbreak of the war. He has been in command of the A ustrian arm ies on various fronts in the past two years. BELUGERf NTS SEND MISSIVES OF PEACE Chancellors of Germany, France and Britain Approve.
