DEFEAT OF HUNS
Letters of Former Foreign
Head of Dual Monarchy
Tell of Fear
By Associated Press

Vienna, Dec. 14.-Count Czernin, the
former Hungarian Foreign
Minister, wrote frankly of conditions
in his correspondence with former
Emperor Charles. as was shown by
letters which were shown the CORE
spondent by Count Czernin to-day
One of the letters. written in April
1917, gave the Emperor warning tha
the Central Powers were nearing oe'
feat. 1t read:
Sees Smashing Point Near
"I am thoroughly convinced that the
smashing point has been reached
Germany, as well as ourselves. has
reached the end of her resources. Re-
sponsible political authorities do moi
deny 1t. but military circles in Berlin
are indulging in self-deceit. l am con-
WINGED that, should Germany attempt
another winter campaign, an upheava
will occur in the empires. Thai
would be far worse than disadVan'
tageous peace.
Predicts Wave of Revolt
"If the sovereigns of the Central
Empires are unable to conclude peace
within a few months, then the peoples
of the empires will do it, and wave
of revolt will sweep away all lol
which our brothers have been fight
ing. Perhaps months will elapse be-
fore America can throw the strength
of her battalions into the fight but
her moral support is a very great FAC
tor. The Central Powers cannot
hope for new reinforcements. Delay
is to our disadvantage, for our enc
mics can wait longer than We
The letter then outlined the plans
for the coming offenslves against the
Italians, French and British, and con-
tinued:
when these offensives are stopped
7 urge that an agreement be reached
with America bfore she is able tC
change the military situation to oui
disadvantage"
Count Czernin explained his Gis'
belief in the success of Germany
submarine warfare and recalled to the
Emperor statements made by FielC
Marshal Corral Won Hoetzendorf
while on a visit to Vienna. The Fielc
Marshal said. according to the letter
that England would be checkmatc'
and that America would be paralyzeC
by the proposed submarine campaign
The letter ended with the solemn
warning

FOUR PERSONS
INJURED WHEN
CARS COLLIDE
Two Persons in the Hospital
as Result of Accident at
Twelfth and Market

Carl Cope, 1-year-old, of Hum
melstown, and Joseph Bartell, 1925
State street, who were injured in "a
collision of two street cars at Twelfth
and Market streets, about 7.S0
O'clock last evening, were reported
at the Harrisburg Hospital this
morning to be greatly improved.
Two others injured, George Book
er and S. L. Swope, who with Bar
tell are employees of the Harrisburg
Railways Company, were taken to
their homes and are reported much
improved to-day.
The Cope child sustained a lacera-
ton of the upper lip, while Bartel's
injuries consist of a laceration of
the face and shoulders, possible
fracture of the left leg, and bruises
and conclusions of the body. The
others were slightly injured.
Bartell declared that the accident
happened when he was returning
from a point near Paxtang, where
he had taken car to relieve dis
abled car and was returning in the
disabled car back of q Reservoir
car. When the Reservoir car stop
ped at Twelfth street in Market, he
said he was unable to stop his car,
and crashed into the rear end of the
first car.
The front platform of the disabled
car was crushed and Bartell was
thrown into the street, while the
Cope child, who with it's parents
was sitting in the rear end of the
Reservoir car, was struck with flying
glass. Conductor Booker, who was in
the rear end of the Reservoir car,
was thown half way TO the front of
the car, while the motorman was
thrown to the floor.
An investigation to-day showed
that the accident was due to wet
and slippery rails.

Wilson's Peace Ideals
Viewed in France as
Too Lenient to Huns

New York. Dec. 1.-THE Tribune
prints the following cable from
Paris correspondent:
81 have lived in this city for near
ly a dozen years and have not spent a
week outside its walls since the war
began. 1t has been my business to
study the people closely, and particu-
iarly their opinions. 1t is now pos
sible to say:
First, that the French people are
distinctly not ready to follow Mr.
Wilson's idealistic policy, and.
Second. that if the Clemenceau
ministry showed any inclination to
agree to peace without indemnities
or annexations, it would be out of
Office within twenty-four hours.
The attitude of the average
Frenchman to Mr.. Wilson's program
of the fourteen points is one of ner-
vous fear.
This feeling began to manifest it,
self in Paris from the day the Ger
mans addressed their first note to
President Wilson asking him to ap-
peal to the Allies on their behalf for
an armistice. 1t was allayed some
what by passages in the PRESIDENT s
successive replies, which indicated
that the best the Germans could eN-
pect was to be placed in such posi-
tion that the renewal of hostilities
would be impossible.
But the feeling of dread that Mr..
Wilson may in some way influence
the terms of the peace treaty in .
manner favorable to the Germans
| does not disappear.
The French are realists to their
core and they realize better than any
other people in the world with grim
reality all that is meant by the word
Prussian. They have been convinced
| by actual suffering that it is sheer
| lunacy to attempt to apply ideal
istic methods to Brother Boche, eX-

a well-planned banquet in the inter
