< ' p*. PAGE SIX SOME SPECULATION OVER RESIGNATION OF (7KHM> It Had IUh'o the \umH?i Foreign Minister Was Stretvgec. He Had luvalutd Kupmrvr. \ Washington. April IS.?News ol the resignation of Oouut Oeernin a: Austro-liungarian foreign minister led to much speculation among ottt cials and diplomats here as to th? causes which brought about the rather dramatic exit of the Austriar official at a moment when, through his decided change of attitude toward war issues, involving his complete acceptance of the extreme German views, it had been supposed that he had greatly strengthened his posion. This change was manifested sqon after the Brest-Litovsk peace conferences. where Czernin had become convinced that his moderate views regarding 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 Austria's great ally that he was forced ou; of omce, but rather that the explanation was to be found In internal Austro-Hungarlan issues. It ia recognized that Czernin involved Emperor Charles in a most unpleasant position by his speech trying to fasten upon France the responsibility for initiating peace proposals last year, thereby enabling the French government to deliver a master stroke in diplomacy by producing the famous letter of Charles to Prince Sixtus. But quite aside from the Sixtus letter, recent events in Austria-Hungary have indicated that Count Czernin's tenure might be short. In the first place there was the frightful suffering of the population, and especially of Bohemia, from the state of semi-starvation for which they held the government responsible because it would not make peace at once. Then there was the bitter dissatisfaction of the Poles and Czechs over the relinquishment of the rich country of Cholin to I'kraine as one of the conditions of the Brest-Ltovsk peace. Finally there was the concerted hatred of the foreign minister by the antiGerman elements of the Austrian confederation because of his relapse into extreme conservatism and his adoption of the pan-German program in its entirety with all of its reactionary policy. * HORRIBLE CARNAGE IN STREETS OF HANGARD On April 1, 1) and 12, Both Day and Night, There Was Fighting From House to House?French Win. With the French Army in France, April 18.?The hardest fighting of the present battle south of the river Sorame has been almost incessant around Ilangard-Kn-Santerre since March 21. British and French have been engaged side by side in defending this highly important and strategic posi tion on the road between Yoyon and Amiens. Several times it has been wrested from them only to be retaken in a heroic counter attack. On the fourth, ninth and 12th of April the streets of Hangard were the scenes of horrible carnage both night and day, when the enemy was driven from house to house before the French battalions. On the latter date when the latest attack was delivered by the French one of their battalions was surrounded in the overwhelming German advance. The major commanding entrenched himself in the ruins of a castle from which he held the enemy In check for more than 10 hours, meanwhile signalling repeatedly for help and asking his comrades to hasten. The major was captured but shortly afterward other French troops with a British battalion arrived and after a terrific onslaught ?jii me uiHiiiig uusne iney rescued the survivors and took a. hundred German prisoners, but the major with another oflleer had been carried off in the interim, Ho H.ul ('banned All That. , Serjeant?"'Ere!

I THE GERMAi J COMMERCIAl > Germany went to war to gait i greater control over markets for he J manufactured goods and over th< fsources of raw materials that entei ?I into the making of such goods, ant ' j the gigantic failure of these com -, mercial alms is already apparent ', Such is the definite conclusion reach >'ed by Chauncey D. Snow, assistan i chief of the bureau of foreign ant l domestic commerce,, and his collab orator. J. J. Krai, In a report issuec today by the department of com merce. The report is the' result o! months of investigation of Germar political, industrial and commer cial activities before and after th? ; outbreak of the war, the value ol . which is enhanced by the fact thai i Mr. Snow was engaged in an indus! trial study in Germany at the time hostilities commenced. Germany's problem as viewed b> her rulers was, in the words of Dr, Karl llelfferich, to overcome "the limitation of German territory and the restrictions imposed by our climatic conditions, in connection with the growth of our population and its increasing and more refined requirements." The report adds that "Germany also confidently expected as a result of this war to get huge indemnities, which, like the great indemnity exacted from France in 1871, would pay the bill of war, and would likewise clear the way for uninterrupted, unparalleled stride;, leaps, and hounds in industry and trade. Germany unquestionably counted on crippling the resources and competitive power of her chief European commercial competitors." "Thn crfcrnntl/* fnllum I commercial aims of Germany in gnI ins to war is already apparent," assert the authors. "President Wilson has stated the attitude of the United States on the subject of the aims of annexation and indemnity. England and France have most effectively demonstrated the mettle of their competitive power in industry and resources. When Germany attempts to resume trade it will he with at least 18 countries that have actually Nbeen in a state of war against her, and at least nine that have severed diplomatic relations with her. German commercial policy and German traders and investors will henceforth have to face governments and commercial publics in every country of the world which are enlightened as to the German way of doing things. Commercial treaties with the advantages all on the German side will be hard to negotiate. It will be a rare country where GerI many may dominate trade, industry, shipping, and finance without local realization and opposition." The primary object of the report is to throw light on Germany's preparedness for trade after the war, a subject that has been anxiously discussed in this and the allied countries. To aid in reaching an intelligent conclusion on this subject a great many pages are devoted to such subjects as Germany!* war-time Industries, trade organization?, money and banks, raw materials, labor conditions, land and water trans' portation, war loans, taxation and proposed monopolies. We learn from these that obstacles have not melted away so readily before German efficiency as many Americans have supposed, that there has been serious bungling in high places, ! profiteering, gross mismanagement, and intense dissatisfaction amonir ! the working classes. Stocks of materials have been used up, substitutes have failed to satisfy, equipment has deteriorated, some industries have profited greatly by the war at the expense of efficiency for peace times. "Owing to the uncertainties ol war," say Mr. Snow and Mr. Krai "most of the measures for re-enter; ing foreign trade are still in the stage of discussion, only a few havI ing received legislative sanction 1 Many of the industries have been syndicated or consolidated; an im perial ministry of economic affair? has been created; subsidies havf been voted to rehabilitate the mer,j chant marine; steps have been taker ' to promote the exportation of German goods under the guise of neutral products. "The loss of capital during thf war, the lack of shipping space, and the difficulty In obtaining foreign > credits and means of payment foi the imports of raw materials and foodstuffs are regarded in German) as the principal obstacles to a speedj rebuilding of the foreign trade. The low exchange value of the mark will enforce economy In importation, and the state will be obliged to interfere 'not because it has become socialists , but because it will have no othei i choice.? "In spite of all the obstacles thai i >?? ? , m , , _ THE LANCASTER N1 N DREAMS OF : SUPREMACY i will confront the Germans, howeve r it will be well to bear in mind tt 9 fact, as pointed out by the eminei r Italian lawyer, Eucardio Momigll; i no, that there is need of preparir - for defenses in order that Germa : business may not continue its ol - methods of quiet penetration in or t country after another.

He has further advocate! 1 the formation of an association o j nations to make the world safe, bu in doing so he has stated that it maj , be necessary to leave Germany with out the benefits nf the free nontinml, intercourse which must inevitabl: ' spring out of the partnerships o: I real peace. Apart from questions o i governmental policy, there is t i clear duty resting on American bus! ness men individually to keep theii eyes open to German competition ir whatever form it may come. Th< American government, in concert with the governments of the othei great nations, will see to it that Ger, manyT as a government, shall henceforth operate in the open. American business men, like business men ir the other great countries, must like wise see to it that all operations ol j German trade enterprises shall takt place in the open and bear a cleai indication of having been 'made ir 1 Germany.' " Supplementing the report propei ; there is an exhaustive statistlca i analysis of German's import trade | which makes clear the dependence of German industries upon imported j raw materials, and also a number ol 1 pertinent translations from Germar land other foreign publications.
