Speaking to the hoardes of flag waving supporters, Max Havelot, the new President of the Peoples' Republic of Austria/Hungary and Taco Co-Op, Max Havelot decried the former King's policies. "Austria is a nation which loves peace above all, and yet the policy of our king is to make ineffectual wars with our neighbors. We must make peace with the Turks, and drop our naval blockade. We must make restitution to the people of Russia. We should act to be certain of continuing friendly relations with the two great nations of France and Germany, and work to end the bitter war between them." At the time of the revolt, the King was in Rome, attending _The_Prince_, by Machiavelli. Elements of the 4th army stationed in Rome were on hand to escort the King from the theatre to a command post in the Italian Capital. General Wolfgang "Shug" Jordan, in command of the 4th army issued a statement asserting that his forces would continue to regard the King as the sole ruler of Austria Hungary, and would take their orders from "The King and only the King." Further, General Jordan decried the Havelot coalition as "Silly! Just plain silly! Hell, they're using a form of government that hasn't even been invented yet!" >From the St. Stephane, the flagship of the Aegean fleet, Admiral Steubing issued a statement announcing his complete support of the revolution, and his confidence in the abilities of Havelot as a head of state. Referring to the invaluable assistance provided by the Turkish Rumanian fleet in the demilitarization of Sevastapol, "Through quiet, responsible negotiations with the Turkish regime, Havelot has negotiated an agreement which promotes the safety, stability, and well-being of the people of the Balkan regions. Havelot has proved beyond any doubt that the Sultan is indeed a reasonable and responsible man, and that peace is indeed not an unreachable ideal. And furthermore, we've just about run out of places to eat lunch. I don't think I ever want to eat another one of them damn gyros as long as I live." ( Palermo ) ----------- In a brief statement issued by the Home Office today, it was announced that the Royal personnage had partaken in a holy pilgrimage to the Vatican, and was in audience with His Holiness. It was also announced that this was in no way a response to the vile stabs executed by the sexual deviant Hapsburg; noted for inbreeding and nasty congenital defects. ALBANIAN STAR - The WHOLE Truth ------------------------------- ## LOCAL RIOTS FUEL STORIES OF MONSTER ## The recent savage uprisings in little Tirana are the result of the presence of a deformed MONSTER rampaging through the countryside. The five foot monster has two eagle heads and a pale contorted face. It rants and raves, dragging one of its numerous club-feet behind it, scaring the local children so much that the nights are drowned with the wails of infant nightmares. We in the star can reveal the TRUTH about this monster and the sudden troop activity. At first we thought the troops were here to protect us from the monster, but now we come to the stunning conclusion that the troops are here to protect the monster from US. The monster - the disgusting figure we have to know and avoid, is none other than Otto Von Hapsburg, deviant younger brother of the House of Hapsburg - better known as "Otto the Sheep Worrier". ## NEXT ISSUE: ## How is this dribbling, demented, bestial horror different from the current monarch ? Is it true that sordid, "elephant parties" in Galicia have been attended by both Hapsburgs AND the Baron Munchausen ? Is the average Hungarian brain really the size of a microbe, seen through the wrong end of a telescope, well beyond Mars ?

I have not yet consulted with the Caliph regarding his wishes. But several conditions would have to be met. The Caliph would have to regain his former titles as a peer of the land. He would have to regain his London mansion and his country estate. Perhaps, most important, non-English armed forces would have to be withdrawn from the British Isles in some time schedule. Caliph Stody would have to be given full powers as a regent for France. In perhaps a decade, that regency would have to end as the British royalty would probably have to be restored to their crown with Caliph Stodgy as prime minister. Gentlemen, these negotiations have not been completed so anything else is pure speculation." As the Caliph is still in seculusion enjoying the favours of the Sultan's second level ladies group, no comment was heard from him. ... in other news ... The Sultan expressed his continuing support of the Russian Czar noting, "Earlier on in this decade the survival of Turkey was dependent upon either Austrian or Russian support. Russia was the one to rally to us. We are grateful. I now consider that with the Russian retaking of Sevestapol, our debt has been paid." Local zoologists expressed fascination with the Pufferfish Daily's report that Blackie could live in another environment. The scientists will continue to monitor the reports from that world renown paper. The last inflation report noted a drastic increase in the money supply. Local analysts have stated that if this increase in money supply continues, then a resultant inflationary period can be expected. Royal Treasury spokesman stated that the blame can be attached to the Sultan's support for Max Havelot. In order to support the rebel leader, the Sultanate has been forced to print more money. At the latest counting, over 2,000,000 dinars has been spent on the Austrian rebellion. That comes to around 720,000 Austrian marks. Our latest poll, reports that the Sultan has been losing popularity, with only support from 49% of Turkish households. The Sultan had the strongest support from households in the Constantinople province. Smyrna support him the least. THE REICH STUFF --------------- Warsaw - The new German management team of the Stolichnaya bottling plant in the Warsaw suburb of Gretsky today lauded the introduction of Stolichnaya Light, an alcohol-free vodka. Herr Bernard Nichols, plant manager, added in today's announcement that negotiations have begun with Sultan Ingmuad of the Ottoman Empire in an effort to secure an import license. When asked if officials of the Weimar Republic were assisting the negotiations, Herr Nichols declined comment.
