CZERNIN TOLD

WAR WAS LOST
FORMER AUSTRIAN FOREIGN MIN
ISIER WARNED EMPEROR HE WAS
IN SINKING BOAT.

Vienna, Dec. 14-Count Czernin, the
former Austro-Hungarian foreign min
lister, wrote frankly of conditions in
his correspondence with former EN-
peror Charles, as was shown by let
tiers which Count Czernin showed the
correspondent today. One of the let
tiers, written in April, 1917, gave the
emperor warning that the central
powers We're nearly defeated. 1t read:
al am thoroughly convinced that
the smashing point has been
reached. Germany, as we'll as CUR
selves, has reached the end of her
resources. Responsible political
authorities do not deny it, but
military circles in Berlin are in
dulging in seif-deceit. ! am con-
WINGED that, should Germany at
tempt another winter campaign,
an upheavaI will occur in the en-
pires. That would be far worse
than disadvantageous peace.
IF the sovereigns of the central
empires are unable to conclude peace
within a few months, then the peoples
Of the empire Will do it, and a wave
of revolt Will sweep away all for
which our brothers have been fight
ing P erhaps months Will elapse be-
fore America can throw the strength
of her battalions into the fight, but
her moral support is a very great
factor. The central powers cannot
hope for new reinforcements. Delay
is to our disadvantage for. our enc
mics have more time and can wait
longer than We.'
The letter then outlined the plans
for the coming offensives against the
Italians, French and British, and con-
tinued:
"When these offensives are
stopped, | urge that an agree
ment be reached with America be-
fore she is able to change the mill
tary situation to our disadvan-
tage."
Count Czernin explained his disbe.
lief in the success of Germany's sub
marine warfare and recalled to the
emperor statements made by Field
Marshal Conrad Won Hoetzendorf,
while on a visit to Vienna. The field
marshal said. according to the letter,
that England would be check-mated
and that America would be paralyzed
by the proposed submarine campaign.
The letter ended with the solemn
warming that I'VE are at the end Of
our resources Germany cannot count
on our support beyond the LATER part
of the coming summer. Before God
and before your people, it is your
sacred duty to defend your people.

ARMY TEAM TO
.SCORELESS TIE
WILDLY EXCITING GRIDIRON BAT
TIE STAGED AT MAXENT PARK
WITH MONTGOMERY TEAM.

In a wildly exciting and thrilling
football battle at Maxent park yester-
day, the navy team managed to hold
the strong army aggregation to
scoreless tie, although they We're out
played from start to finish, the army
eleven making eighteen first downs
while the navy only made their yards
i've times throughout the entire game.
Time ana again the army backs,
led by their brainy little quarterback.
Hill. pierced the heavy navy line for
substantial gains In the first two quar-
tiers, and once We're within five yards
of the navy goal, when they lost the
ball on an intercepted forward pass.
In the second half the army again
began to run away with the navy
team, completing four forward passes
for total gain of IS yards, Hill to
Ashbraugh. The navy secondary de-
Tense seemed unable to follow ASH
braugh, who nabbed all four of the
passes. He was always alone in a
practically open field. In this half the
army aggregation carried the ball to
the navy five yard line twice, and once
missed a touchdown by inches.
The navy owes the fact that they
were not beaten to the sterling play
ing Of Quarterback Purdy and the dns-
perate work of their heavy line, but
most Of all to the splendid punting Of
Gardener, the left halfback. His kicks
were well delivered and seldom fell
short Of forty yards.
Navy Receives First.
In the first quarter the army kicked
Off to the navy at the west end OF the
field, which, after the heavy rain Of
the night before, was soggy and dotted
here and there with great puddles OF
water. Hill received the ball for the
army and carried it back fifteen yards
before he was downed. Then followed
runs that netted the soldiers nearly
thirty yards before the navy line stiff
ened and held them for downs. The
navy Immediately punted out of dan
ger, Gardeners kick carrying forty
five yards past the scrimmage line in
a long spiral toward the north side Of
the field. BY a desperate sprint, Hill
nabbed the ball on the first bounce
and lodged and squirmed his way
back twelve yards before he was
buried beneath an avalanche OF navy
players.
Again the soldiers started to march
down the field and again carried the
ball for two first downs when in the
shadow of their own goal line the
sailors defense stiffened and forced
the army to try for field goal, which

VOLUNTEER ARMIES
FOR AMERICA ARE
KNOCKED IN HEAD

New York, Dec. 1l.-"Taps" to the
volunteer system of raising armies in
war time by the United States was
sounded here tonight in an address by
Provost Marshal General Crowder to
retiring members of New fork draft
boards. He earnestly urged the Sc
lective draft system as the permanent
method of raising American armies in
the future. General Crowuer said it
would be a calamity if the United
States should revert to the volunteer
system, adding that American con-
scripts had shown vaIor, aggressive
ness, and initiative, of the most sea-
soned troops.
