· PRINCE OTTO'S FORTUNE
MAY YET OBTAIN LOST LANDS

BY F. C. M. JOHN
Vienna.
Austrian Monarchists are hope- ful that the private properties of the former Imperial family, which were confiscated by the Republienn authorities in 1910, will be feturn- el to the Hapsburgs within the current year.
As soon as the present, negotia- tions are completed, the Austrian government will abolish the law by which Prince Otto and other mem bers of the former Imperial family were banned from the country. Prince Otto would thus be permit ted to return to his home country, but only as a private citizen.
Meanwhile, Otto von Hapsburg. who is considered as the rightful Emperor of Austrin and King of Hungary by Legitimisis, is leading a very modent life at Steenocker- zeel..
