CzERN|N.URCED
 PEACE ON AUSTRIA

VIENNA, Wednesday, Dec. Il, (By the Associated Press) s)-Count CZernin. former Austro-Hungarian foreign min ister, gave the correspondent an Op- pcrtunity today to read copy Of the letter which he sent 10 Emperor Charles in April, 1917, in which the minister declared that the condition of Austria was growing desperate. In the letter. Count Czernin told the em- peror that he did not think another winter campaign was possible and as serted it was necessary that peace ne gotiations should be begun.
 The letter. which was referred to in interviews Count Czernin gave the cor respondent last week, follows:
 Your Majesty, it is evident our military power is on the verge of eX- haustion need but instance the cam plete drying up of the sources of man. power and the despair which has talk en hold of all portions of the popula- ton who are so underfed that the mis- cry of war can no longer be borne by them.
 Though l hope that we may sue ceed in holding out during the next few months and in maintaining sue cessful defensive. l am quite con- vinced that another winter campaign is thoroughly impossible. At all costs the war must be brought to conclu- sion in the summer or the early part of the autumn. It is essential that peace negotiations should be started before the waning of our strength is appreciated clearly by our enemies.
 Should We approach the entente when conditions in the interior of the empire leave no doubt of our imme- diate collapse, it would be futile to be- lieve that the entente would grant conditions unless they were equivalent to the complete annihilation of the central powers
 Count Czernin's letter paints dark and gloomy picture of conditions in the empire and continues:
 There is danger of revolution which threatens the whole of Europe which is supported by England and represents her latest mode of warfare.
 Five sovereigns have been dethron- ed under conditions which give rise to serious thought. It is no use arguing against this fact by saying that condi- tions in Austria-Hungary are different, or that the monarchial system is so deeply rooted in Vienna and Berlin that a similar danger does not exist there"
