DUCHESS BANISHED.
BL'RIAX EXILES ZITA’S MOTHER The Duchess Maria. Antonia of Bourbon-Parma, mother of the Empress of Austria., lias been ordered to leave Austria, within twenty-four hours, with the stipulation that she isi not to visit Vienna, before the end of the war. This sensational development is in consequence of the revelation of the Emperor Karl’s letter to his brother-in-law. , The Emperor’s mother-in-law is now forced to play the part, of scapegoat for her son-in-law's historical blunder. People who know the Vienna. Court are aware that the Duchess, who sympathises openly with the Allies, wasi the centre of the anti-German coterie at the Austrian Court. She is known to have great influence not only on her. daughter, but also on the Emperor himself, so that 'the responsibility for the correspondence between the Emperor and his enemy brother-in-law I» said to be hers. The fact that she is now actually expelled from the realm of her daughter confirms the rumour that Baron Burian only accepted office if the pro-French influence at the Vienna. Court was dissolved at once.
