SOME SPECULATION OVER
RESIGNATION OF CZERNIN
1t Had Been Supposed the Austrian
Foreign Minister Was Stronger.
He Had nvaluSd kS,uperor,

Washington. April lS.-News ot
the resignation OF Count CEernin a:
Austro-Hungarian foreign minister
led to much speculation among otti-
cials and diplomats here as to the
causes which brought about the
rather dramatic exit of the Austrian
official at moment when, through
his decided change OF attitude to-
ward war issues, involving his COM
plete acceptance of the extreme Ger
man views, it had been supposed that
he had greatly strengthened his po-
sion.
This change was manifested soon
after the Brest-Litovsk peace con-
ferences. where Czernin had become
convinced that his moderate views
regarding the basis OF peace were
unacceptable to the dominant an
nexation and forced indemnity
party. Therefore officials here are
inclined to believe that it was not
because the count was obnoxious to
Austria's great ally that he was
forced out of Office, but rather that
the explanation was to be found in
internal Austro-Hungarian issues.
1t 10 recognized that Czernin in
volved Emperor Charles in a most
unpleasant position by his speech
trying to fasten upon France the re-
sponsibility for initiating peace pro-
posals last year, thereby enabling the
French government to deliver n
master stroke in diplomacy by pro-
ducing the famous letter of Charles
to Prince SiXtus. But quite aside
from the SiXtus letter, recent 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 popu-
lation, and especially of Bohemia.
from the state of semi-starvation for
which they held the government re.
sponsible because ii would not make
peace at once. Then there was the
bitter dissatisfaction of the Poles
and Czechs over the REIMBURSEMENT
OF the rich country OF Cholin to
Ukraine as one of the conditions of
the Brest-Ltovsk peace Finally
there was the concerted hatred Of
the foreign minister by the anti
German elements OF the Austrian
confederation because OF his relapse
into extreme conservatism and his
adoption Of the pan-German pro.
gram in its entirety with all Of its
reactionary policy.

Tag Day Near AT Hand

Washington, Jan. 12.-AS Tag
Your-Shovel-Day" approaches coun
try-wide interest in its observance is
shown by tn eyoluminous correspon-
dence that is flowing into the Fuel
Administration headquarters. Letters
received from the fuel administrators
in the various States show that eX-
tensiye plans are being laid to spread
the idea of conservation of fuel
throughout every nook and corner of
the country.
The "Tag-Day," designated to in
woke conservation of coal, is exactly
worked in behalf of other enter
prises. Generally the acquisition OF
tag involves an outlay of money,
whereas the present undertaking is
designed to save money to all coal
users.
The enlisting of the school emil
dren in this work was a happy idea.
To set the children at work in popu-
| lariZing an enterprise for the public
welfare means that the task is we'll
nigh accomplished at the starting
point.
The drive will be made on Janu-
airy 80 next, when more than twenty
million school children viii visit the
millions of coal users and attach a
tag to the coal shovel, reminding the
user to save whenever possible. The
least economy practiced steadily
amounts to a gigantic total when
100, 100000 people resort to it.
In Florida an elaborate and novel
program has been designed. Thomas
A. Edison, Henry Watterson, and
William Jennings Bryan, all of
whom have winter homes in that
State, have been asked to send their
home" shovel to Florida, to be tag
ged with appropriate ceremonies.
Likewise they have been asked to
write letters encouraging economy in
the use Of coal, the reading of which
letters will become a part of the ex-
ercises of the DAY.
While the general plans for the
observance of the day are being di-
rected from Fuel Administration
headquarters, each State and each
community is perfecting its celebra-
ton in it's own way.

THE LARGEST TAXPAYER

(From the Columbia Dispatch)
 The United States Steel Corporation is the largest tax payer in the world. It is estimated that this year it will be called upon to pay something like s235, ,00O, ,000 in taxes of one kind or an. other-an amount so fabulous it is difficult to grasp it.
 The total taxes to be paid by this one corporation amount to four or five times as much as the entire income to the State of Ohio from taxes of all kinds. In other words, with this vast sum, an enormous commonwealth could carry on it's affairs; in fact, many national governments of the world do not have anything like that much money with which to operate their governments. In normal times the Dominion of Canada does not col lect that much revenue, and Spain has to get along on less than s200,000,0 900. Until the war came upon us the nat ional government of the United States collected only about three times as
