LONDON, May Count Czernin

in the latter part OF February and
delivered in person a verbal ultima
tum Of the most drastic sort from
the central powers to King Ferdinand
of Rumania, 1t has become known
with the arrival here of the American
Red Cross mission to Rumania.
Count Czernin's visit was known
only in the highest official circles
and the fact that II was made is
revealed now for the first time
through correspondent OF the AS.
ISOLATED Press who accompanied the
mission. The reason for the visit
was that the Germans and AustrIans
had determined to bring to a speedy
conclusion the negotiations with
Rumania and had decided that a
threat delivered in person by the
head Of the Austro-Hangarian foreign
office would be more effective than
reams OF documents.
So Count Czernin was sent on the
errand He arrived In Jassy about
February rs and went straight to the
king His manner was stern, un.
bending, ruthless, He told the king
bluntly that Rumanla must conclude
peace on Germany's terms and do 1t
There must be no
further delays, and unless Rumania
consented to this program the central
powers purposed Issuing ukase de.
