Washington, Nov. 22.-Messages of condolence on the death of Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria-Hungary were prepared at the State Department to-day in expectation of immediate official announcement from the American ambassador at Vienna or the Austrian charge. President Wilson will send messages both to the royal family and to the Austrian charge here, while Secretary Lansing will send messages to the charge here and to the minister of foreign affairs in Vienna. Congratulations to the new monarch will not be sent until later when his ascension to the throne is officially reported.
The German embassy, basing its views upon an intimate knowledge of conditions in the dual monarchy, is certain that the death of Emperor Francis Joseph and the ascension of Charles Francis Joseph will result in renewed military activity of a most energetic character.
Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, feels that from an internal political viewpoint the death of Austrian emperor will not have the slightest effect on the war.
