Neutrality-suspicious. OF the resigna.

French government to deliver a mas.

the famous letter OF Charles TO
Prince Sixtus. But quite aside from
the Sixtus letter. recent events In
Austria Hungary have indicated that
Count Czernins tenure might he

frightful suffering of the population

HIS OFFICE At REQUEST
OF GERMANY.
THOUGHT POSITION BET Err
However, He Had Involved Emperor
Charles In Most Unpleasant Posi-.
tion-Cxechs In Revolt.

Coincident with the report OF the
acceptance OF the resignation OF
Count Czernin, the Austro. Hungarian
premier, comes report OF a serious
outbreak of the Czechs at Prague,
which for many months has been re.
ported to be seething with anti.pan.
Germanism Bohemians. or at least
the Czechs minority In that country,
object to the creation OF a German
government there. but the incident
may be more significant than has so
far appeared. The Slavic races Of
Bohemia have long been standing out
against the Germanization Of their
country and the outbreak at Prague
may be only another indication of the
deep'seated opposition to the war a..
plrations OF the central powers.
