The Boss of Austria A Sketch of “Iron Count Tisza Who Has Ruled for Many Years. THE outside world has had the vaguest ideas of real conditions in AustriaHungary, not only since the war started but before as well. The figure of the old Emperor stood out and other names were familiar though occasional mention in the newspapers Berchtold, Tisza, Burian. It is interesting to learn, therefore, that the Dual Monarchy has possessed for many years a “boss.” Tisza, the “Iron Count,” exercised absolute dominion over Franz Josef and since the accession of Carl he has still been the dominating factor despite the new incumbent’s dislike for him. Tisza is a picturesque figure, a Bismarck almost. At time of writing he is again in control of affairs in Austria and so it may be that the end of the “ramshackle empire” will come with the old pilot still at the helm.
