OUT OF OFFICE
austrian Foreign Minister Gives
Up His Portfolio.

Remains Until Successor 10
Named.

Washington. April 1.-THE resigna.
ton Of Count Czernin, as Austro-
Hungarian foreign minister. news of
which has been received here has led
to much speculation among officials
and diplomats as to the causes which
brought about the rather dramatic
exit Of the Austrian official at mo-
ment when, through his decided
change Of attitude toward war issues,
involving his complete acceptance Of
the extreme German views, it hao
been supposed he had greatly
strengthened his position.
The steps leading to the counts act
are not Disclosed. but the publication
by the French government OF the en-
peror's peace offer letter to France
early in 1917 probably fastened his
withdrawal.
Count Czernin remains in office un-
til a successor Is announced.

French government Of the futile
peace appeal put out by Emperor
Charles Of Austria-Hungary in March.
1917. and the efforts Of the emperor

With the American Army in France,
April 16.-The German attack agains:
the American positions on the right
bank of the Meuse, north Of St. Mi
hiel, was made by force Of 400 Pic +.
ed troops who were recently brought
there from the Russian front. Al.
though the Americans were outnum-
bered more than two to one, they COM
pletely repulsed the enemy, driving
him back to his own trenches. The
known enemy casualties include "a
dead, many wounded and II prisoners
beside number of wounded who were
dragged back to the German lines
by their comrades.
The Germans attempted to deceive
the Americans by appearing in front
of the trenches and speaking French
and English, and also by yelling
"Gas" The deception, however, was
soon discovered and cost the enemy
dearly. The American casualties were
comparatively slight.

Numerous stories of individual brav.

young American of italian descent
born In a Pennsylvania coal mining
town, killed one German and cap
tured three. He saw eight Germans
walking in communication trench
ahead of him and, altogether alone
he shot and killed one and ran after
the others capturing two and wounu-

then returned to the American line
and turned the prisoners over to a
non-commissioned officer and cody
asked for a match.
The officer jokingly said: "I1l give

FIVE feet four inches tall took him at
his word and went back over the
parapet. He returned in less than
five minutes walking with drawn bav.

YOU OTHERS

They have called us, and they've
classed US. and they've passed us.
And some OF us are never coming
back.
For the Boche has blocked the line.
OF this world that's yours and mine.
And we're out to clear the wreckage
from the track.
Till Gods earth can breathe new
beauty where it's black.
They have cheered us. they have
dined US, they have wined US.
And some few Of you are going to
forget
All the hell we're off to face.
We should worry in your place
Sleeping soft. Your sons and bro
theirs bleed and sweat,
There in No Mans Land where
France and freedom met.
You will think OF us. and read of us,
and speed US
With dime or twenty nickels now
and then,
Where the ghosts OF millions walk.
You will take 1t out in talk.
And get down to making millions
once again.
Make them for US who are slowly
making men.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1918-04-18

When they've shelled us, and they've
gassed us, and they've passed us.
And the blood drips red from hearts
you have to see.
And the pacifists persist:
You may awake to what you've
missed.
Just chance or two to live for IL
berty;
Write or say one word, for truth /.
that's fighting free.
And the girls we've loved, and lost
and left behind us,
And their kids-we've gone and left
them in your care.
Live so they'll look up to Won
Till our dearest dreams come true.
We who plant your flag forever mast
despair:
Where each blood drop is nror,;s.
and a prayer.
We have gone and you will fat, ,s
or you'll trail us
On our way that winds from Tonhat
to the sky.
We have only gone before.
You will follow more and more
For each man that lives is breath,n,
but to, die.
For this world all men make better
bye and bye.

Washington, April l6.-The turning
point In the battle on the west front is
being reached. says the War Depart.
ment's review Of the military situation
for the week ending April Is. The
Germans have failed to achieve vic.
tory In the field, the statement contin-
ues, and will soon be forced to resume
their old tactics.
With the American Army in France,
April 1.-THE German attack against
the American positions on the right
bank OF the Meuse, north Of 81. Mihiel,
was made by force OF 400 picked
troops who were recently brought
there from the Russian front. Although
the Americans were outnumbered
more than two to one, they complete
ly fepulsed the enemy. driving him
back to his own trenches.
Seven days after the Germans
launched their gigantic assault against
the British lines between Lens and
Ypres. the momentum of their attack
has been broken and the waves Of the
Teutonic forces are recoiling before
the rock Of the British defense. While
the Germans have made gains OF
ground and have driven wedge into
the allied lines to Q considerable
depth, they seem to have failed in
their attempt to break through or take
important railway functions.
During the last day there have been
bitterly fought engagements In four
places. all on the northern side Of the
salient to the south Of Ypres Seven
assaults against the British trenches
at Merville. near the apex OF the tri-
angular dent in the British line, have
been hurled back by the British.
Neuye Eglise, on the extreme south
western spur Of Messines ridge. has
been taken by the Germans after a
terrific struggle and heavy losses, but
they were repulsed near Robecd
The British. however, have not re-
tired far, and II is probable that they
will at once organize counter attack

Neuve Eglise and Merville, also nave

except for Neuye Eglise, the salient
has stood firm.
II has been the German plan OF cam.
paign since March 81, when the great
offensive started. to strike hard at
some particular sector, and II that
blow was parried to turn powerfully
against some new point.
This procedure probably will be fol-
lowed in the next few days by a new
assault somewhere south OF Arras. An
attack north OF Ypres is hardly possi
BILE, for the lowlands OF Belgium are
yet too waterlogged to permit active
operations. An attack on Arras would
entail the hurting Of troops against
vimy ridge. the labyrinth and other
formidable military works protecting
that city.
1t may be that the savage fighting
reported at Hangard-en-Santerre, south
OF Albert and on the center oi the line
facing Amiens. may mark the begin
ming of new attempt to sweep west
ward toward Amiens. So far the fight
ing has brought the Germans only
losses in men and ground.
