Due to Collapse of Country by War.
LONDON, Nov. 12. Emperor
Charles of Austria ha abdicated, ue
cordintr to a Copenlumen dispatch to
the .Exchange. Telouraph eompanv
nuotiner private ndvices from Vienna
today.
It is reported tliti t a ueneral strike
will be deelarej in Vienna tomorrow.
The abdication of Km perm Charles
has been rumored several times in the
past two weeks but none of these re
ports has been confirmed. On Octob
er 29 it was reported that he had fled
from Vienna, but this was denied bv
a Berlin newspaper which said he was
at the Austrian capital on October 110,
and that lie had been eordiullv re
ceived bv the people while iroiiii; about
the city. The most recent report in
connection with Kniperor Charles was
received on November 2, when it was
said that he had anominced his inten
tion to abdicate-
1'iiprtJinislnK Major
Emperor Charles I of Austria. kiim
of Hungary, was an unpromi.-inir ma
jor in an Austrian infant rv regiment
when the shot of the assassin who
killed the Archduke Francis Ferdi
nand on June 28. 191 4. made him the
heir apparent to the throne in the
"Hawk's Castle" on the banks of the
River Aar.
Two hundred or more monarch s of
this historic house of Ilapsburtr
ruled for centuries the land of
Maiiyar. Slav and Teuton centuries
of bloodshed, tvrnnnv and agression
and sleep their last sleep in the
wonderful crvpt of the Capnuchin
Church in Vienna. Emperor Francis
Joseph, the aired predecessor of the
youthful Charles, seeinsr "the hand
writing on the wall." had hoped to
unite the discordant elements amom:
his ijO.OOO.OOO subjects whose racial
antagonisms were complicated bv the
absorption bv Austria of the Serbian
nrivinees of Bosnia and Herzegovina
in 1!)08.
It wns'the Archduke Francis Ferd-
f.innnd's determination to brinir about
k!a triune empire made up of Muuvar,
pSIav and Cicrmnn states, tt is uencral-
v believcfl, that, led to his assassin-
iition in Sarajevo. Francis Ferdi
!' Hand feared the dual monarchy
1 tmicht be ended upon the death of
Francis Joseph bv the intervention of-
I Jtussin or Ciermaiiy.jind sought thus
; to forestall it.
' Son of ArclHititio Otto
Charles I was born Aui:nst. 17,
r 58H7. the son of tlie late Archduke
MMto of Saxonv. He married the
c 'rinces's Zitn of the Bourbon house
i of Parma (Italian) in HUl. When
": the Nune Dirr.'ttis was sunar for his
dead uranduncle, the Emperor Fran
cis Joseph, the only achievements of
Charles brouulit to public notice were
Mhat lie was a keen sportsman, an ex
?! ecllent shot and motorist. Frcouent-
lv he was seen in the parks of Vienna
wheelinir one or his vountr dukes in
a habv perambulatnr. When he as
cended to the throne on December :ft.
lJUfl. Austria-Hunirarv. torn bv four
venrs of war. saw the first faint
11 cam of possible peace.
On October, BUM. be announced
plans for the federalization of Aus
trin-Hungary and in an address to
the Humrarian Diet frankly admitted
hisThrone was in "peril." A day or
to later Count Karohl, leader of
the Hunuarian republi -ans, announced
the success of a blno.lless revolution
in Budapest and declared Ilnntrnrv a
tree and independent slate. Still bit
er the (ionium and other province
occlnrert their purpose to oeeome
autonomous entities and the house of
the Ilansbnrcs. once the leadernf the
Holv Roman Finpiie, seemed to be
about to collapse like a house of

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. The na
tion's obligation to serve stricken hu
manity in war-torn Kuropo by help
ing to provide sustenance until the
noxt harvest will demand further
sacrifices of the American ' people
Food Administrator Hoover declarl
today in an address at a conference
luro of state fbod administrators.
Conditions of famine exist In Eur
ope, Mr. Hoover said, that will be
"beyond our powers to remedy" even
with tho carrying out of tho plan to
ship from America twenty million
tons of foodstuffs during the noxt
year. In northern Russia alone, he
declared, (hero are forty million peo
ple who havo but little chance of ob
taining food this winter. Millions of
others turnout Kurope, ho said, who
can be reached must be fed.
AVhito Iireiul Again
"ThisTieing the new world situa
tion, created by the collapse of the
war," .Mr. Hoover continued, "the
prime changes in our policies on to
day's outlook can ba summarized:
'"That we may now advantageously
abandon tho use of substitutes in our
wheat bread; that wo will still re
quire economy and elimination of
waste in Its consumption: that for
the present we need conservation in
butter and condensed milk; that ul-
timatly we must extend this to all
fats.
"Vetcan contemplato at the most,
maintaining fully three pounds per
month of sugar per person of house
hold sugar on the present outlook,
and wo can by tho availability of
Java sugars to Europe begin at once
to relax nioro restraints on sugar
pending some than go In Kuropo pol
icies. Must Mvo Simply
"These aro special features of"
changes In policy, but tho shifting of
conservation from one commodity to
another is not the wholo policy, i
Thero is one policy which cannot'
change, and that Is the vital necessity
to simple living, to economlzo in all
consumption for commodities more
or less substitute for each other. We
must realize that the spectre of fam
ine abroad now haunts the abundance
of our table at home.
"Tho war has been brought to an
end, in no small measure, by starva
tion Itself, and it cannot be our busi
ness to maintain starvation after
peace."
North America, Mr. Hoover said,
will have to furnish CO per cent of
tho world't; supply of foodstuffs and
the United States and the West In
dies will be able to export 20,0U0,000
tons as against a pre-war normal of
0. noo, 000 tons.
Mr. Hoover told the stale adminis
trators that the food administration
will be discontinued under tho law
when peace is proclaimed, and added:
"I do not expect to see Us renew
al." "I look now," ho said, "for a turn
of American food trades towards co:i
rorvative and safe business.'
