Peace Letter of Emperor
Charles Believed To Be
Direct Cause - Action
Probably Was Forced by
Berlin

AMSTERDAM, April Is. Count
Czernin. the Austro- Hungarian Foreign
Minister, according to a dispatch from
Vienna, has resigned
Emperor Charles accepted the resig-
nation and intrusted Count Czernin
with the conduct of foreign affairs
until his successor is appointed.
Did Not Know of Peace Letter
Count Czernin did not know of En-
peror Charles's letter to Prince Sixtus
when he made the statemant that
France had initiated the conversations
with Austria, according to a Vienna dis
patch to the "Lokal Anzeiger," of Ber-
lin. On learning of the letter he re.
signed. but yielded to a request that
ne remain in office until the conclu-
sion of the peace agreemen. with Ru-
mania.
An official statement received to-day
from Vienna asserts that the latest
statements Of the French Premier con-
corning the conversations between
Austria and France regarding the possi-
bility Of opening peace negotiations do
not alter the situation as regards the
majority of Count Czernin's declara
tions. The Austrian Foreign Ministry.
the statement says, is unable to ascer-
tain who was responsible for deliver
ing to the French what is said to have
been a forged letter, substituted for
the letter which was to have been de-
Hvered.
Affair at End, Says Austria
Neither Prince Sixtus. whose char
acter is beyond suspicion, nor any one
else is accused of Justification. con.
tinues the statement. which concludes:
"The affair is herewith declared to be
at an end"
Emperor Charles, according to
Vienna dispatch. dated Saturday. to the
"Berliner Taga blatt," has cancelled Il
visit he intended to make to Budapest.

Reichstag Resolution Oppos-

Overheard

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The Ger
man government has definitely annulled
the peace resolution without annexa-
tions or indemnities" passed by the
majority of the Rechstag last July, ac-
cording to an official dispatch to-day
from France. The Pan-Germanist or
gan "Tageblatt Rundschau" is quoted
as follows:
Count Hertling informed the leaders
of the majority parties if they adhered
to their resolution he would resign.
Factions of the majority then adopted
the Chancellor's point of view and for
mally declared they accepted the new
programme of the imperial government,
which includes the incorporation by
Germany of French territory and of the
Belgian coast of Flanders, as we'll as
the payment to Germany by the West
ern powers of considerable war in

Continuing, the dispatch says:
Count Hertling appears to have
broken with Erzberger and refused to
receive him. All these details have
hcei. confirmed by the Centrist Deputy
Trimbrrn at secret congress Of the
Rhensh Catholic party held at Cologne
on April 2. The majority Socialists

New York Ahead of Quota,
but Days Sales Were
Only $6,538,9OO

Official returns for the first seven
days of Americas third Liberty Loan
campaign show a steady improvement
in the daily accomplishments of the
nation as whole and a marked daily
decline in the subscriptions m the Sec
cludes New York
And, though perhaps paradoxical, the
Treasury Department totals which were
announced in Washington yesterday re-
veal that the New York district is still
up to its quota schedule, whereas the
country as whole is $169, 100000 be-
hind.
In seven days eleven of the twelve
Federal Reserve Districts-all except
Minneapolis modified s691 .611 800
fighting dollars. The increase over the
total for six days was s11s,0O0,0 900, the
largest daily gain of the campaign.
In the Second Federal Reserve Dis
trict S252,451 $50 has been raised in
this period, a betterment of the pre-
vously announced total of s14.378.8OO
the low mark for the drive so far in

off, the New York district is still $451,-
250 ahead Of the official quota schedule
which requires s252,ooo,ooo in seven
days.
Ahead of Rest of District
An analysis of what the various COM
munities in the Second Federal Re-
serve District have done demonstrates
that New York City, which has run
some S13,000,000 in excess of it's Of
fetal quota, counteracted deficit of
approximately the same amount in the
rest of the district. The borough of
Manhattan has collected $181 ,375,75O of
Liberty dollars, against a quota re-
quirement Of s173,262, 1920. But sub dis
trict No. 3. which includes Syracuse
and Ithca, for example, has subscribed
only $2,801,550. compared with a quota
requirement of SS.140,1O4.
AS one leading Liberty Loan worker
here pointed out. the New York dis
trict for the last six days has been
taking advantage of it's enormous sub
scription of S106,000,0OO on the first
day of the campaign. In that one day
the district rolled up a surplus Of $780,
100000 over its official quota require
ment.

Terrific Struggle Con-

Haig Reports His
Line Is Holding
Z Attacks Fail
About Merville
Counter Stroke by the
British Regains Ter
ritory Lost in First
Enemy Rush

Terrific assaults by the Germans
against the north side of their
NeW Arncntiercs salient were the
features of the fighting yesterday.
The British for tie most part held
firm, yielding only slightly at GER
tain points,
Neuvc Eglise"' lost and recaptured
was taken b. the enemy a second
time. There was a tremendou.
struggle near Wulverghem, at the
southern end of Messines Ridge.
and Berlin asserts the British line
northeast Of the place was taken
by storm. Haig says the battle
there continues.
Southwest of Bailleul the Germans
captured part of the British posi-
tlons, but were quickly driven out
by counter attack. The drives
against Neuve Eglisc, Wulver-
CHEM and Bailleul were all aimed
to turn the flank of the Messines
Ridge and other elevations to the
west. Apparently the foe is
afraid to advance further over
the level ground in his centre
without gaining control of these
heights.
'Ihe enemy experienced one of the
most costly failures of the battle
northwest of Merville Sunday af-
ternoon. Seven German assaults
one with five successive waves of
infantry, were repulsed with the
heaviest losses. The British held
their ground firmly.
The German drive in the north is
one week old to-day. After adj
vancing rapidly the frst three
days, the hostile hosts have now
suffered decided check. In the
last three days their progress has
been nil on some sectors and ex-
treme!y slow on the rest of the
line of The offensive.
On the remainder Of the front tho
activity ras died down to heavy
artillery duels, especially at Han
Gard-er-Santerre, and patrol|ino
activities.
Most observers believe that the
Germans, as soon as they become
convinced they are held between
Ipres and La Bassee, will attack
on wide front elsewhere. The
Arras defences, lying between the
Plcardy and Armentieres sa-
hents, are considered to be a like.

Ydnks in Europe
Cannot Vote in
Minnesota


Minnesota men now serving in the
American army in Europe cannot
vote at the general election in No
vember is the opinion rendered by
Attorney General C. L. Hilton. The
time limitation which allows. not
more than thirty days or less than
seven for mailing of the war ballot
to be in the hands of the voter,
would not be sufficient, in many In
stances, for the mailing of ballots
to those at distant points, and espe~
cially to those overseas.
In order to be counted the soldier
votes must be in the hands OF the
election judges on the day of cleo
ton and be counted on that day. I'm
der this act no registration is re-
quired, the application and the cleo
ton judges notified accordingly or
each applicant.
Application for war ballot to be
sent where, the soldier is at camp
can be made by another absentee or
the same election district as the one
for whom the ballot is to be obtained
or by a relative.
Under the absent voter law a fee
of 35 cents was made to the absent
voter, but under the new ruling the
fee will be eliminated.
