ROME, August 20

The Giornale del Mattino states that Archduke Charles Francis, the Austrian heir, commands on General Hindenburg's right, but it is purely nominal. The Archduke, who is of feeble intellect, has never had any military training, and he merely represents the Austrian Throne in the German Army. He was chosen by General Ilindenburg himself, the astute Field-Marshal knowing that tin; Archduke will not attempt to act on his own initiative.
