Emperor Charles accepted the resig.

nation and Intrusted Count Czernin with the conduct of foreign affairs until his successor is appointed. Count Czernin did not know of Emperor Charles's letter to Prince Sixtus when he made the statement that France had initiated the conversations with Austria, according to a Vienna dispatch to the Lokal Anzeiger, of Berlin. On learning of the letter he resigned, but yielded to a request that he remain in office until the conclusion of the peace agreement with Roumania. Washington. April of the resignation of Count Czernin as Aus.

tro- Hungarian foreign minister led to Such speculation among officials and diplomats here A8 to the causes which brought about the rather dramatic exit of the Austrian official at when, through his decided camoment attitude toward war issues, Involving complete acceptance of the extreme German views, it had been supposed that he had greatly strengthened his position. This change was manifested soon nfter the Brest -Litovsk conferences, where Czernin had become convinced that moderate rOgarding the basis of peace were unacceptable to the dominant annexation and forced indemnity party. Therefore officials here are inclined to believe that it was not because the count was obnoxious to Austrin's great ally that he was forced out of office, but rather that the explanation was to be found in internal Austro- Hungarian issues. It is recognized that Czernin Emperor Charles in a most unpleasant position by his trying fasten upon France responsibility for speeches Initiating, enabling the proposals French last govern- year. ment to deliver a master stroke diplomacy by producing the famous letter of Charles to Prince Sixtus.

Reevents in Austria- Hungary have indicated that Count Czernin's tenure might be short. In the first place there was the frightful suffering of the popu- lation, and especially in Bohemia, from the state of semi -starvation for which they held the government responsible because. it would not make peace at Then there bitter dissatisfaction of the and Czechs the relinquishment of the rich country of Cholm to the Ukraine A8 one of the of the BrestLitovsk peace. conditions, there was the concentrated hatred of the foreign minister by the anti -German clements of the Austrian confederation because of his relapse into extreme and his adoption of the Pan-German program in its entirety with' all of its reactionary policy. As it is understood Emperor Charles himself still has liberal leanings and is disposed to moderation so far AS war is concerned, it is conceived that he might easily be Inclined to rid himself of an official 80 unpopular with a large part of the Austro-Hungarian population.

It has been known, too, for a long time that the count has been a sick man and that he has often shown signg of distraction and has many times been near the point of absolute physical collapse ag the result of his strenuous efforts to maintain control of the widely discordant elements that make up the dual empire. Hence it is regarded as by no means impossible that he has broken down in health and been obliged to give way to a stronger man. An official dispatch from Copenhagen to-day says Vienna newspapers announce that committee for foreign affairs of Austrian delegation the has been convoked for the twentieth of April in order to give Count Czernin the opportunity to make a declaration concerning Parliament has events been of convoked foreign for policy. the I thirtieth of April. The same dispatch says that a great Czech manifestation of protest was held at Prague on Saturday against Count Czernin'g speech.

London, April there was an element of surprise in the news of Count Czernin's resignation, it had been more or less expected by well informed persons here since Premier Clemenceau's revelation of Emperor Charles' advances to France. The fall of the foreign minister is regarded generally as a propitiatory sacrifice for his imperial master's letter to Prince Sixtu, and as being dictated by Berlin. The suggestion in Vienna advices that the country was ignorant of the emperor's letter implies the view that his position beck Intolerable after the French gove int gave it out. Some German newspapers last week deplored the young emperor's letter as another instance 01 interference by monarchs in State affairs without the advice of their ministers, leading to unfortunate consequences. Other causes probably contributed to some extent to Count Czernin's retirement.

He has been constantly at odda with the Czechs, and as late as April 2 once more aroused their indignation by a speech in Vienna, in which he accused them of treachery. Basel, April Charles of Austria has sent the following telegram to Emperor William of Germany, according to advices from Vienna: accusations against me are HO low that I have no intention to longer discuss this affair with France.
