Germany Feared Barrier

centralize his power first with the
creation of a Ministry of the In

was to offset Magyar power.

s.9 That there was fusion of all
aristocrats and landlords in
Austria and Hungary for the support
of the emperor againt peoples rights
and social democrats.
"Feudalism and despotism were sup
posed to return under Francis Ferdi-
nand. The Emperor and the aristo-
Gratis, with other landlords, wanted to
rule. In Hungary Count Tisza and a
certain Mr. Kristoffy were the secret
supporters of Francis Ferdinand
through Count Czernin. Other Hun
garian arlstocrats, according to docu-
ments. were pro-German and called
rebels" by Francis Ferdinand.
Danger to Wilhclm's Hopes
again, Francis Ferdinand was a
danger to the German Emperor and his
aspirations. Emperor William feared
ard hated the Slavs, but liked the
Magyars. He said Francis Ferdinand
was too rabd toward the Magyars and
tried to influence him.
"A road by way of German-Austria
and Hungary to the Far East was
natural, as the Magyars had aspira-
Magyars. with a German prince as
their King (Eitel Frederick), would
have been the best allies of William
II, and the pro German and pro-war
Austrian General Staff with Count
Hoetzendorf at it's head is another
connecting link with the aspirations
of the Germans in the Far East. The
war has proved all this. The old Aus
trian Emperor and Emperor Charles
were too stupid to see the real cause
of the war and the aims of the Ger
mans and the Magyars.
There are in the letters interesting
details of political talks of Count Ger
min and Emperor William in Kicl in
1906. William said An Europe has
to unite economically against America.
Hapsburgs Seek Return
at may interest you to be informed
that Count Czernin is still working
with exEmperor Charles for the re-
establishment of the Hapsburg throne.
The documents we have on hand will
make both emperors, German as we'll
as Austrian, absolutely impossible
among their own people when they are
published. They will expose the in
trgues of the IEapsburgs against the
German imperial family as we'll as the
intrigues of Emperor William against
the Hapsburgs."
Mr.. Creel added this comment:
ut IS only fair to point out that the
Magyar portion of the conspiracy was
engineered by German controlled
mobiles. all Of whom were repudiated
and exiled when Karoly came II

WASHINGTON, W March 27.-The sig
nificance Of the appearance OF the Turk
lsh flag in the hands Of the mob which
overpowered the Egyptian police at
Zifta, which was announced by the
State Department in an official state
ment, was pointed out by Miriam Zvasly,
we'll known IN Europe and America
as an Orientalist who is at present
chairman OF the Armenian National
Union of America, in discussion with
State Department officials Mr.. Zvasly
said that Bolshcvism and Pan Turan-
ism were closely allied branches of
the same civic disease, based upon
loot and contiscation, and urged as
protective measures prompt action
against the westward sweeping move
mcnt by the peace conferrees in Paris
and the immediate establishment Of
the Independent small nations Of Ar
menia, Greece, Syria and Palestine as
"the best bulwarks against the inn
pending delugc."

The MEDIEVAL court in Ecvpt. Mr.
Zvasly pointed out. is composed of
Circassians and Turks. There are no
real Egyptians connected with it. Back
OF the court and underlying the pres
cnt troubles in Egypt is Pan-Turan
ism, coupled with militant Moham
mechanism.
Pan Turanism, like the more recent
term Bolshevism, is rcvcrsion to con
dltons prior to the birth of modern
civilization, when brute power wrested
whatever was desired from the pos
SCISSOR. The Armcnians have suffered
under Bolshevism (callcd in Asia Minor
Pan Turanism) for centuries. and Mn.

the Turks have refused to give up
Armenian women and children on the
ground that they had become Islam
ties and to give them up would be to
subject themselves to the death penalty.
as 1T was not permitted to surrender
to non-bclievers the followers of Is

tltude of the Turks in following the
prccepts of Pan-Turanism. They CON
tend that they are right in massacring
and lootng non-lslamitcs and they are
forever cndcavorng to extend their
influence. Therefore it is imperative
that the Armenian and other small
states of the Near East be organized
at once so that Pan -Turanism and Bol-

Secret Letters of Count
Czernin Reveal Teutonic
Hand Against Austrian
Archduke Who Was Slain
Aid of Magyars Enlisted
Francis Ferdinand Aroused
Jealousy and Enmity of
Kaiser, Papers Reveal

George Creel. former chairman of
the Committee on Public Information,
last night made public summary Of
the secret correspondence of Count
Czernin, late Foreign Minister of Aus
tria-Hungary, which was turned over
to Edgar Sisson at Prague by the Gus
todian official of the Bohemian gov
ernment last January 24.
One of the disclosures was that
there was GermanMagyar conspiracy
against the Archduke Francis Ferdi-
nand, heir apparent to the throne of
Austria, who was assassinated at Sara
jevo on June 2S, 1914, because he was
considered a rival Of the then Emperor
William.
Mr.. Creel said Mr.. Sisson accepted
the privilege of using the correspond
ence in behalf of the United States
government. Translators and a pho
tographer in the service of the Com
mittee on Public Information were set
at work 10 translate the documents for
general publication in this country as
the final public contribution of the
committee, according to Mr.. Creel.
Copy for Peace ENJOYS
lie said one copy was to be turned
over to Secretary of State Lansing for
use of the peace conference commits
sion Investigating sponsbility for
the outbreak of the war, while another
was to be sent to the committee at
Washington for release to the press
He added that Mr.. Lansings copy un-
doubtedly was in his hands and that
the copy for the press probably was
on its way
In a report to Mr. Sisson on the
scope of the letters, Captain Emmanuel
voska, L. S. A., head of the Prague
Bureau Of the Committee on Public
Information, said:
From the documents and letters it
will be shown that Francis Ferdinand
was working on building UP strong
Austria which would eventually eman-
cipate itself from the influence of Ber-
lin. This was blocking Berlin's plan
for expansion toward the East, and
the Berlin government came to an
understanding with the Budapest gov
ernment to offset the plans of Francis
Ferdinand
Eitel Frederick Tool
From one of the letters it is evil
dent that the German Emperors son,
Etel Frederick was selected to study
the Magyar language and to make
friends of the Magyar nobility.
although 10 positive proof was
found from the documents on hand as
TO the conspiracy to kill Archduke
Francis Ferdinand. it is sufficiently
evident that there was no conspiracy
in Serbia for that purpose. The Arch
duke was rather friend Of Serbia in
hatred Of the Magyars, as he knew of
the conspiracy between the Berlin and
the Budapest governments.
1T is shown from the letters that
when Aehrenthal (Austro- -Hungar ian
Foreign Minister) annexed Bosnia in
1909 and Serbia protested through
Russia and was supported by England,
Count Czernin had an audience with
Francis Ferdinand. The latter was
against war with Serbia, as the powers
would say halt" after Serbia was
overrIdden and nothing would be in
such war. But Count Hoetzendorf
the CHIEF Of staff, was strongly for

with ample incomes now report the

long cultivated surrcptitious sources.
The first feeling of the average Ger
man when he learned of the arrival Of
the food ships, as the correspondent
found through conversations with a
large number Of worlmen and mem
bers of the middle class, was one
almost Of astonishmcnt at the appear

Inc Germans, through hope long de

BERLIN, March 26 (By The Asso-
Grated Press with the arrival of the
hrst American food ship yesterday and
the conference of German financial ex-
perts at Wcimar to-day praparatory te
gong to Versailles Sunday, Germany
seems to feel that peace is nearer than
at any other time.
The feeling of depression which had
oeen growing in every part of the
country at the continued disorders and
the increasing Sparticide riots, lifted
at least slightly at the news that con-
crete results finally were at hand, after
much waiting. Peace has been long in
coming, the blockade has been tight and
the food relief has been slow in ar
rlVlng, so that in many sections of
Germany there was q feeling almost
AKIN to despair. Some parts of Ger
many have relapscd into cynical state
of mind, making it almost impossible
to have them believe even now that
some relief is in sight
German newspapers in the last few
days apparently have reflected public
opinion in their accounts in large
black type of the coming Of food ships.
These announcements continue. but
they share prominence with the still
vague reports of German participation
IN the peace negotiations.

Food Arrival Timely

The arrival at German ports of the
lirst American food ships was lust in
the nick of time to meet the crisis in
the food situation. The potato ration
IN greater Berlin was reduced this
week to three pounds and no fresh
meat is available for issue to residents
OF cities. These residents are now re-
cciVlng canned meat from the remnants
OF the army's stores. The Berlin vecc-
table market, which the CORRESPONDENT
VISITED yesterday, presented sorry
sight. There was little for sale. with
the exception of turnips. few onions
and other minor vegetables.

PLANT CITY GROCER GETS
VEGETABLES FROM TAMPA
WHATDEYE THINK OF THAT!

Wonders will never cease. 1t looks
that way. A demonstration was
brought to attention here this week.
A Tampa housewife who has read OF
the great quantities Of vegetables
raised at Plant City, which ships
them by the trainload, and some
times sells nearly million dollars
worth in a single season, decided that
this would be the logical place to get
fresh vegetables.
It is.
But he merchants of Plant City
do not know it. AT least, it looks that
way.
The Tampa lady, who had become
wearied of trying to get real green
goods in the Tampa markets, had
visions of something nice for din
ner" when she approached one Of the
principal markets here. ~-
What have you in the vegetable
line?" she asked
well, madam just now we haven't
a thing, as the truck has not arrived.
We get our vegetables from Tampa. y
This is no joke. 1t is founded on
fact. 1t is a condition that needs
remedying. What is the sense OF
Plant City shipping vegetables to New
York, Boston or other places when
our merchants have to buy out o!
town?
It is the same way with fruit
