...clerk and a mendicant monk were taken from a train at Prague last week, charged with high treason against the Republic of Czechoslovakia. Old world diplomats studying the case grinned in their beards, figuratively doffed their cocked hats to dowdy, indomitable Zita of Bourbon-Parme, ex-Empress of Austria-Hungary. In the baggage of the clerk and the mendicant monk (Felix Christian and Father Charles Otto by name) were some typical royalist pamphlets. More interesting were bundles and bundles of membership blanks for a League of Prayer the object of which is the formal beatification of the ex-Habsburg Emperor...
Ever since 1922 when Kaiser Karl died of pneumonia on the island of Madeira, indomitable Zita has worked, slaved, plotted to put her eldest, Otto, on the throne of Hungary. Everyone at all favorable to the Habsburg cause-from able, eagle-beaked Ignaz Seipel, twotime Chancellor of Austria, to the last lackadaisical Archduke-she has put to work. When Archduke Albrecht of Hungary formally renounced his aspirations to the throne two months ago (TIME, June 9), when Zita's brother, Prince Sixtus de Bourbon- Parme was given a secret and important interview with one of the most important opponents...
...bounden ally of the French, and thereby committed against the Habsburgs, but before the War a big slice of Czechoslovakia was Bohemia, one of the most obstreperous and least loyal sections of the loose-jointed; Austro-Hungarian Empire.

...Duce also urged that the defeated "enemy countries" (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria) should enter the E. U. on "equal terms" with the victor states? that is, these nations should be permitted to re-establish their armies. This reply ranged Italy beside Germany in seeking revision of the Peace Treaties?a policy anathema to France. In Moscow the Soviet newsorgan Pravda, while appreciative of Italy's attempt to include Russia in the E. U., declared that, in view of the program of revision which Germany and Italy are seeking to force upon unwilling France, "the Briand scheme may be considered exploded...
IDYLL'S END-Claude Anet-Dodd, Mead ($2.50). On a morning in January, 1889, in a shooting lodge at Mayerling, Austria, the bodies of Crown Prince Rudolph, heir to the great Dual Monarchy, and Marie Vetsera, pretty young noblewoman, were found by horrified attendants. Since then controversy has raged: 1) whether they were both killed (by order of Emperor Francis Joseph); 2) whether they died voluntarily in a suicide pact. Author Claude Anet, and many another, thinks Rudolph shot Marie, then himself. Rudolph, as Author Anet shows him to us, was intelligent, able, liberal-minded. But he was married...
