* Short comedy. The charming wood-engraving
shows 'Franz Habsburger' (Emperor Franz Josef) who offers a cake with
the word Venice to 'Louis Schlauberger' (Emperor Napoleon III).
But Napoleon III refuses with a pun on the Austrian General Benedek,
who had lost the Battle of Königgratz partly because of the new Dreyse
needle guns used by the Prussians.
