...Franz Josef. Tooth and nail War Minister Combos has fought the restoration of Karl's son, famed "Little Otto." Several times the election of Isabella's Albrecht as King of Hungary has seemed almost a sure thing. But suddenly, fortnight ago, Albrecht sought out "Little Otto" in Belgium, knelt before him, acknowledged him as the legitimate King of Hungary, swore fealty (TIME, June 2). In Budapest it was at first assumed that this astounding act must be the result of some particularly devious deal between the Ottoists and the Albrechtists.

Admission price was 25?. The troupers refused any share of the profits, saying...
...humble ecstasy the founder-proprietor of L'Osservatore, aristocratic Count Giuseppe Dalla Torre, knelt on his editorial doorstep as the Pontiff departed. Much like the Christian Science Monitor in format is the papal paper except that it carries no advertisements or cooking recipes, displays the triple tiara of the Pope and his crossed keys to Earth and Heaven.
