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,

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.?
