VI AoreiBn AFFAIRS until his successor cam
be appointed
Washington. April Is. --c;ews of the
resignation Of Count Csernin az Austro-
Hungarian foreign minister led to much
speculation among officials and diplomatic
here as to The causes which brought about
the rather dramatic exit of the Austrian
Official at moment when, through MS
decided change Of attitude toward war
Issues, involving his complete acceptarce
of the extreme German views 1t had been
supposed that he had greatly strength
ened his position.
This change was manifested soon 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 in
demnity party Therefore officials here ara|
inclined to believe that It was not because|
the count was obnoxious to Austria's 81
great ally that he was forced out oil
office. but rather that the explanation
was to be found in internal Austro-|
Hungarian issues.
1t is recognized that Czernin in.|
volved Emperor Charles in a most uni
pleasant position by his speech trying|
TO fasten upon France the responsible
ity for initiating peace proposals last
year. thereby enabling the French gov-|
eminent to deliver a master stroke in|
diplomacy by producing the famous|
letter of Charles to Prince Sixtus. Butt
quite aside from the Sixtus letter. re-
cent 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 in Bohemia,
from the state of semi starvation for
which they held the government re-
sponsible because it would not make
peace at once. Then there was the Bit
ter dissatisfaction Of the Poles and
Czechs over the REIMBURSEMENT of the
rich country of Cholm to the Ukraine
as one Of the conditions Of the Brest-
Litovsk peace. Finally there was the
concentrated hatred OF the foreign
minister the anti-German elements
of the Austrian confederation because
of his relapse into extreme conser-
vatism and his adoption of the pam
German program in its entirety with
all of its reactionary policy.
AS 1t is understood Emperor Charles
himself still has liberal leanings and
Is disposed to moderation so far as war
Is concerned, 1t is conceived that he
might easily be inclined to rid himself
OF an official so unpopular with large
part OF the Austro- Hungarian population.
1t has been known, too, for a long time
that the count has been a sick man.
Hence 1t Is regarded as by no means
impossible that he has broken down in
health.

YAKIMA FRUIT CROP
Is LITTLE SHORT
State Horticulturalist Estimates
that TOnnag. will be Under
that Of Last Year

The following review of the fruit
crop outlook has been issued by M. L.
Dean, chief of the horticultural div
ision of the state department of agri-
culture: ...~. .... D..
The weather conditions for the
months of May and June have not
been favorable for the best growth
and development of the fruit crops.
The frequent spring frosts followed by
unusually dry weather have decreased
the output; yet at the present time,
where sufficient moisture was avail
able from irrigation or other sources,
apples and pears are of much better
size than they were at this time in
1917.
The June drop was very heavy and
some of the fruit that did not drop
shows severe frost markings.
Both the green and rosy aphis have
been very active this spring and
where thoro spraying for their con-
troll has been neglected, serious dam
age will be manifest in the form of
dwarfed and illshapen fruits.
The apple powdery mildew infec-
ton has been very prevalent and many
apples will be lowered in grade be-
cause of the russeting Of the fruit.
More thoro spraying should be done
to prevent this injury because it not
only Injuries the fruit for the present
crop but prevents the setting of buds
for the next years crop.
Growers are endeavoring to hold
the "wormies" down to the minimum
but the we:ther conditions in the
early part of the season were such
that the moths came out exceptionally
early, thereby prolonging their active
periods. The lack of help, together
with the high cost of materials, tend
ed to discourage some growers in the
spraying activities; yet most growers
are putting up an active fight against
them.
The spring frosts, followed by pro-
longed dry, hot weather, curtailed the
strawberry crop by at least fifty per
cent.
The crop Of bush fruits, based upon
present indications, will far exceed
that of last season.
The probable yield Of the Yakima
Valley district, including Yakima,
Kittitas and Benton counties, will fall
some short of the 1917 output. There
