Year Ago Declared His Belief
That German Claim Was
Not We'll Founded

Paris, April 12.-Emperor Karl OF
Austria, a year ago declared his per
sonal belief that France has a right to
Assace-L Lorraine and that the complete
sovereignty Of Belgium and Serbia
should be restored.
This declaration WAS made on March
81, 1917, in a letter from the emperor
to his brother-in-law, Prince Sixus DE
Bourbon, who communicated it to Pres
ident Poincare, by whom it was referred
TO the French premier.
The letter, which was officially made
public here follows in part:
ono one can contest Austrian
military advantages, especially in the
balkans. France has shown strength
aud resistance that is magnificent. We
vnreservedly admire her army's bravery
aud her peoples sacrificing spirit. II
IL particularly agreeable to mi to dis
corn that, although we are ~momentarily
adversaries, there are nc true diver
goncies in views and aspirations that
aeparate France and Austria-H Hungary.

my sympathies for France, with that
which prevails in the whole monarchy,
win avoid ever returning to the state

I think the life of the husbandman of all others is the most deectable
1t is honorable, it amusing, and, with iudicious management, it is profitable.
To see plants rise from the earth and flourish by the supreme bounty and skill
of the laborer fills a contempative mind with ideas more easy to conceive than
to express.

with them, inasmueh that L nowhere fund Sc great satisfaction as in these

how much more delightful to the undebauched mind is the task of making
