WASHINGTON, April 15.-News of the resignation of Count Czernin as Austro- Hungarian foreign minister led to much speculation among officials and diplomats here as to the causes which brought about the rather dra- matic exit of the Austrian official at moment when. through his decided changes of attitude toward war issues, involving his complete acceptance of the extreme German views, it had been supposed that he had greatly strength ened his position.
 Too Weak at Home
 This charge was manifested soon after the Bhest- -Litovsk peace confer ences, where Czernin had become con- vinced that his moderate views regard ing the basis of peace were unaccept- able to the dominant annexation and forced indemnity party. Therefore, of ficials here are inclined 10 believe that it was not because the count was ob- noXious to Austrias great ally that he was forced out of office. but rather that the explanation was to be found in internal Austro- Hungarian issues
 Got Charles In Bad
 Ii is recognized that CZernin in volved Emperor Charles in a most un- pleasant position by his speech trying 10 fasten upon France the responsi- bility 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 10 Prince SiXtus.
 But quite aside from the Sixtus let ter, recent events in Austria Hungary have indicated Count Czernin's tenure might be short In the first place there was the frightful suffering Of the pop ulation, 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.
 Poles and Czechs Displeased
 Then there was the bitter dissatis- faction of the Poles and Czechs over the relinquishment of the rich country to Cholm to the Ukraine as one of the conditions of the -Litovsk peace

Emperor Is MeddIer


 AMSTERDAM, April 15.-According to Count Ernest VOn ReventloW. chief editorial writer of the Berlin Tages Zeitung. the adoption by the reichstag last July of the resolution against an nexations and indemnities was due to the influence of Emperor Charles of Austria. Count Reventlow is continu- ing his campaign against the Austrian emperor and says that Matthias Erz- berger. clerical member of the reichs- tag. read at a secret session of that body a letter from Count Czernin to Emperor Charles in which he wrote as follows:
 Austria wants and in any event must have peace by the winter of 1917" |"
 Herr Erzberger said that he had au- thOrization from Emperor Charles to read the letter and this. according to Count Reyentlow, induced the Centrists to support the peace resolution.

 WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, April 15.-(By the Associated Press)-The German attack against the American posi- tions on the right bank of the Mouse, north of St. Mihiel, yester day 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 completely repulsed the enemy, driving him back to his own trenches. The known enemy casualties include GA dead, many wounded and eleven prisoners, be- sides number of wounded who were dragged back to the German lines by their comrades.
 EFFORTS TO FOOL FAILS The Germans attempted to deceiv, the Americans by appearing in front of the trenches and speaking French and English, and also by yelling "gas." The deception, how ever, was soon discovered and cost the enemy dearly. The American casualties were comparatively slight.
 Numerous stories of individual bravery poured into the head quar ters today.
 MINER PROVES METAL
 A young Italian, born in a Penn syivania coal mining town, killed one German and captured three He saw eight Germans walking in communicating trench ahead of him and, although alone, he shot and killed one and ran after the others, capturing two and wounded some Of those who escaped. He then returned to the American line and turned over the prisoners to non commissioned officer, and cooly asked for match.
 PRISONER FOR MATCH
 The officers jokingIy said: "l'Il give you match if you bring in another prisoner" The Italian, who is only five feet, four inches tall, went back over the parapet. He returned in less than five minutes, walking with drawn bayonet be- hind a six foot German who was yelling "kamerad, kamerad."
 A few minutes later it was re- ported that ten Germans were Iy- ing in a machine gun nest in No Mans Land. The Italian started for the spot alone, but he was ordered back by the commander of the unit, who later sent detach- ment Of men to rout out the enemy, which they did.

LONDON. April 15.-During the con sideration of the man power bilF in committee of the house, of commons today. Sir Edward Carson appealed to the government to deal frankly with both the Irish members in the house and tell them plainly what kind of ma chinery they intended to set up. He said he found great difficulty in under standing where they were under the bill and beginning to have grave doubts whether the government really meant to put it into effect.
 The government. he said, made a vii tai mistake in it's manner of introduce ing the measure and would make the feeling in Ireland tenfold worse if it kept the house longer in the dark.

Fight Again at Albert


 It may be that the savage fighting reported at Hangard. Santerre, south of Albert and on the center of the line facing Amiens, may mark the be- ginning of new attempt to sweep westward toward Amiens. So far the fighting has brought the Germans only losses in men and ground. Further south, near Montdidier, there has been continuous artillery firing but the Ger mans have not attempted infantry op- erations in this important sector.
 German troops have entered HeIsine- fors, the Finnish capital.
 It was reported last week that the Russian warships which have. been there had made their escape and had reached kronstadt, the great Russian naval base.
 American Troops Firm
 American forces near TouI are stand ing firm before heavy attacks by the Germans and have held their line. intact in spite of all the weight of men and metal the enemy has Ioosed against them. The Germans have lost heavily. The constant German attacks in th;. sector may have some bearing on the development of the German offensive campaign and much interest in the sit uation throughout the region held by General Pershing's men is evidenced by the allied leaders.
 Czechs Outbreak Reported Coincident with the report of the ae- ceptance of the resignation of Count Czernin, the Austro- Hungarian pre- mIer, comes report of a serious out break of the Czechs at Prague, which for many months has been reported to be seething with anti pan Germanisn. Bohemians. or at least the Czech min ority in that country, object to the creation of a German government there, but the incident may be more sianifi- cant than has so far appeared. The Slavic races of Bohemia have long been standing out against the Germaniza ton of their country, and the outbreak at Prague may be only another indica ton of the deep seated opposition to the war aspirations of tho central pow- CTS.
 Nothing out of the ordinary has been reported from the Italian, Macedonian, Palestine and Mesopotamian theaters of the war.
