Hunger and utter poverty have been the lot of Leopold Woelfling, formerly Archduke of Austria, during the last years. Leopold Woelfling voluntarily renounced his title and family privileges some time before the war and as an ordinary citizen on the proceeds of a modest fortune and on what he earned with his own work. Owing to the war and the economic crisis following, his fortune melted away quickly and he tried to make a living by various pursuits. He appeared on the stage, acted as advertisement and insurance agent and taught languages. Yet, although mastering four languages, he did not earn more than 6,000 crowns, or less than a dollar a week during the last months, just sufficient to rent a small room in the humble lodgings of a taxicab driver lived to keep himself alive. Under such circumstances, he considered it an unexpected piece of good luck when the former conductor of the military band of the regiment in which Woelfling had served as young archduke, had pity on him and obtained him a job as cashier in the branch office of the Deutsche Bodenbapk at the Eastern Railway station. This position of 6,000 crowns, or at the monetary rate of exchange $10 a month. Every third day he has to do night duty, and the papers announce that he also offers to make translations from the Italian, French and English into German in his spare hours to earn some extra money. He is now fifty-four years old.
