Armenian Survivors
Found Turks Victims in
Wilderness East of the
Jordan
(By The Associated Press

JERUSALEM, Apii, IS. - Fifteen
hundred Armenians, survivors of the
many thousands of victims exiled by
the Turks two and half years ago to
the wilderness east Of the River Jor-
Dan, are making their way toward
Jericho, recently captured from the
Turks by the British.
The exiles, who we're dragged by
the TURKS from the cities of Adana,
Kharnc, Marash, Aintab, Urfa and
Kegsab had been compelled for months
by Ottoman troops to break stone on
roads. They are being brought to
Jerusalem in British motor trucks.

Es Salt, twenty-five miles north OF the
Dead Sea, are expected to arrive IN

London Believes
That Berlin Dictated
Czernir7's S Retirement

LONDON, April 15.-Although there
was an element of surprise in the re-
port of Count Czernin's RESIGNATION. il
had been more or less expected since
Premier Clemenceau's revelation of
Emperor Charles's advances to France.
The fall of the foreign minister is re-
garded generally as a propitiatory sac
rltlce for his imperial masters letter
to Prince Sixtus, and as being dictated
by Berlin. The suggestion in Vienna
advices that the count was ignorant of
the emperor's letter implies the view
that his position became intolerable
after the French government gave it
out.
Some German newspapers last week
deplored the young emperors letter
as another instance of interference by
monarchs in state affairs without the
advice of their ministers, leading to un-
fortunate consequences.
Other causes probably contributed to
some extent to Count Czernin's retire
melt. He has been constantly at odds
with the Czechs, and as lately as April
2, once more aroused their indignation
by a speech in Vienna, in which he
accused them Of treachery

editorial writer of the Berlin "Tages-

austria wants, and in any event
must have, peace by the winter OF
1917
