KARL'S ADVENTURE

Proposed New Law Against

the Hapsburgs Now that Karl of Hapsburg has completely failed and is no longer a menace, at Jeast not for the moment, the Monarchists in the Christian Socialist ranks, who held rather in the background during the critical days of the ex-Emperor's adventure, have started their maneuyres afresh, says the Vienna correspondent of the "Observer." In their heart of hearts the Clericals cannot get over the inglorious end of the plot. The withdrawal of their leader prelate, Dr. Seipel (who, it was stated officially, has gone on a month's "'holiday''), and the resignation of Dr, Glanz, the intriguing Minister for the Interior, who was Seipel's protegs, halve quickly been followed by the endeavours of Leopold Kunschak, another Monarchist Christian Socialist leader, to frustrate the passing of a severe new law which is to prevent the return of the Hapsburgs by threatening imprisonment of one to five years to any member of the former dynasty who stays here without special permission.
