AUSTRIAN EMPEROR DEAD HAD RULED AUSTRIA-HUNGARY FOR 68 YEARS, WAS 86 YEARS OLD. Grand Nephew of Aged Ruler Will Succeed.—Reuter Despatch From Vienna by Way of Amsterdam An nounces Monarch's Death. London.—Emperor Francis Joseph is dead at Schoenbrunn Castle, accord ing to a Reuter dispatch from Vienna, by way of Amsterdam. The first intimation received here that Emperor Francis Joseph's health was again the subject of solicitation was contained in a dispatch dated No vember 12, emanating from a Vienna news agency which reported that the Emperor had been suffering for some days from a slight catarrhal affection. Archduke Charles Francis, grand nephew of Emperor Francis Joseph, became heir to the throne of Austria- Hungary by the assassination of Arch duke Francis Fredinand prior to the outbreak of the war. He has been in command of the Austrian armies on various fronts during the past two years. Archduke Charles Francis was born on August 17, 1887. His wife was Princess Zita of the Bourbon House of Parma. His father was Archduke Otto, who was the younger brother of Francis Ferdinand. On Throne 68 Years. The death of Francis Jospeh la a remarkable climax to the long list of tragedies in the Hapsburg family—a list unparalleled in any other reigning houses in Europe. He dies In the midst of the world's greatest war, which he himself largely brought about by his determination to aVenge the act of assassination of his heir, the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, as the result of an alleged Serbian conspiracy, while on a state visit to Ilosnio on June 28, 1914. Francis Joseph was 86 yeais old at the time of his death. He was born August 18, 1830. He was only 19 years of age when he ascended the throne of Austria, upon the abdication of his Ferdinand 1., December 2, 1848, making his active leign extend over a period of 68 yearfe, all but the first 20 of which he was also Apostolic King of Hungary. It is doubtful that If In all history there has been an active, authenticated relm that was longer. Tradition says a Pharaoh ruled for 99 years and there Is the more creditable Instance of Rameses 11. Seostris of the Greeks, whose reign Is reputed to Jiave covered 67 years. But ill re corded history there certainly has been no reign of equal duration to that of Francis Joseph. Louis XIV, of France, was nominally King for 72 years. A close rival, and the only one of modern times was Queen Victoria who reigned for 64 years. GERMAN - SUB. DASHES TO SEA WITH BIG CARGO. Deutsehland Makes Another Start for Bremen Boldly Sailing Down Harbor of New London In Broad Daylight Without Convoy. New London, Conn. —The German merchant submarine Deutsehland, with a $2,000,000 cargo and official mall for Emperor /(I William aboard, made another start tor Bremen, her dash last Friday being frustrated when she sank a convoying tug. necessitat ing a return to port for minor repair*. Her skipper, Paul Koenig, Instead of stealing out to sea under the cover of darkness, boldly sailed down the harbor In broad daylight and without convoy.

GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1916 ABREETOWITHDRAW Mini TROOPS PROTOCOL PROVIDING FOR CC*fl. DITIONAL WITHDRAWAL OF SOLDIERS FROM ME"'CO. JOINT COMMISSION SIGNS Mexican Commissioner Leaves at Once With Copy to Obtain Approval of General Carranza to Terms.— Other Problems to Be Discussed. Atlantic City, N. J.—A protocol pro viding for the conditional withdrawal of the American troops now in Chi huahua, Mexico, and for the military control of the border, but with the supplemental stipulation that United States troops shall be sent into Mex ico in pursuit of bandits at any time the American Government deems it necessary was signed here by the members of the Mexican-American Joint Commission. One copy was taken by Alberto J. Pani, of the Mexican commission, who left here for New York, whence he will start Monday for Queretaro, to submit it to General Carrtuiza for ap proval. The other copy will be de livered to the American Government by Secretary of the Interior Lane, chairman of the. American commis sion, who left for Washington. If the protocol is ratified by the two Governments, the commission will convene again on December 8 to resume the discussion of other ques tions afTacting the two countries, es pecially those related to the protec tion of life and proprty of Ameri cans and other foreigners in Mexico. If ratification by either Government is withheld the work of the confer ence will be declared at ait end. Following is a paraphrase of the agreement: First—The American troops now in Chihuahua commanded by Gen. John J. Pershing, shall be withdrawn within 40 days from the signing of the protocol by the respective Governments provided that within that time the condit ibns in that part of Mexico have not become such as to endanger the American border. In such event the time shall be extended. Second—The Mexican army shall patrol the Mexican side of the border and the American army the American side but this shall not preclude co-operation be tween the two forces to preserve peace upon the border. Third—lt shall be left to the commanding offloers of the ar mies on the border of both Na tions to enter into such arrange ments for co-operation in opera tions against bandits whenever it is possible. The right of the American Govern ment to send troops across the bor der in pursuit of bandits was not in corporated in the protocol, but was made the subject of a supplemental memorandum. The Mexicans had contended earnestly against signing any agreement in which they appear ed to sanction what they termed the violation of their National territory, it was the agreement of the Ameri cans finally to content themselves with stating the attitude of the United States in a separate memorandum that induced the Mexicans to sign •the agreement.

BAFE TRAVEL OF AUSTRIAN DIPLOMAT TO U. 8. REFUSED British Foreign Office Notifies Ambas sador Page It Cannot Grant Protec tion to Count Adam Tarnowskl von Tarnow En Route to America. London. —The foreign office has sent Ambassador Page a note deflnit 1 y refusing to grant a safe conduct to Count Adam Tarnowskl von Tarnow, the new Austro-Hungarian ambassa dor to the United States. The reason for the refusal may be paraphrased as follows; "Even If International law forbade the refusal of such a conduct the ac tions of Austrian and German embas sies and consulates abroad have been so much in excess of regular diplo matic functions that the British gov ernment feels justified In withholding its consent for such diplomats to travel to their posts."

IBii FOR SUCCESS WITH PIGEONS Variety of Good, Hard Grains U Essen tial—Not Advisable to Feed Birds on Wet Ground. A variety of good, hard grains is essential to success with pigeons, and grains which are In poor condition should not !>c fed. Old grains which are hard are bettor than new soft grains, especially for pigeons with squabs. Red wheat is" considered bet ter than white wheat by many pigeon breeders, Qood wheat screenings are I often fed Willi success, as they usu ally contain a variety of seeds. Vari ous stlmuffttlng seeds, such as lentils and vetch, nre sometimes fed as u tonic to breeding birds during the liiolt ing period. The grain may be fed on the floor of the pen, lu troughs, or kept before the birds In -hoppers. It Is not gen erally considered advisable to feed tho grain On the ground, especlully on heavy soil where It may get wet and moldy. Unless tho floor Is kept clean It Is better to feed the grain In troughs thun on the floor. The troughs should lie made so that the pigeons "Will not roost on tliein and soli the feed with their droppings. Hoppers lire used with good success but may attract rats In some plguou houses. They should be fitted with wires or nails about two Inches apart so Unit the pigeons cannot waste the feed by throwing It out onto the floor. If the grain Is not fed In hoppers the pigeons should bo fed twice dally, In the morning and in the afternoon, at regular hours, giving from one and one-half to two quarts of grain at each meal to 20 pairs of pigeons and add ing an extra pint If the pigeons have iimijy, squabs. Tho feeder must regu late the quantity of grain according to the appetite of tho birds, giving them all they will clean up In ono to two hours.

N'o one nsks or expects- a farmer or poultry raiser to kill or sell valuuble breeding males. You might not be able to llnd what you want to take their'ptaces the following season. The males would be better off, however, and so would the females and would make belter breeders the following season, If the males were confined to separate quarters and kept with but few, If liny, hens. Keep tlie males from the laying hens ond market Infertile eggs. Unless you ''Jk/ j: Superior Type. are certain you will need the males another season, It Is best to sell them arid to give I lie room to the young stock.
