MINISTER
PREDICTED FAILURE
COUNT CZERNIN WARNED EN-
PEROR CHARLES THAT HE
WOULD LOSE THRONE

BERLIN.-(C Correspondence of the
Associated Press. Count Ottokar
| Won Chudenitz Czernin, formerly
Austrian foreign minister, is shown
as prophet who forshadowed coming
events and the collapse of the Central
powers with almost uncanny correct
ness according to his now famous
letter to the Emperor Charles, written
urged that monarch to s'make peace
at all hazards or suffer the loss of
your throne"
Parts of the text of Count Czernins
historic missive have been published
but the complete text, as presented to
the Assembly at Weimar by Finance
Minister Erzberger, has now appear
ed for the first time in the Deutsche
Allgemeine Zeitung, the official Ger
man organ.
1t shows among other things that
Czernin, alone of all Austrian states
men, prophecied the entrance, two
years before, of Rumania into the war
on the side of the Allies and predicted
"almost the day of it's outbreak" The
letter also said the Count expected"
immediate French, British and Italian
offensives and his forecast was borne
out by what happened. Within
fortnight after the note to the ruler
had been drafted, on April 16, 1917,
the Freinch began the great Soissons-
Rheims "drive" along a 25-mile front
and the British had started the battle
or Arras on front extending to
Lens. The Italians, few weeks
later, plunged across the Isonzo in the
Carso sector for distance of 81 miles,
crushing the Austrians in their mad /
rush.
In view of the reverses to the
armies of the Central Powers and on
the eve of Americas entry into the
war, Czernin urged. the Emperor to
make another detailed peace pro-
posal and not be afraid to make great,
even heavy, sacrifices" Russia, he
thought had lost its offensive power
out the Eagle of the West, he feared,
night prove stronger adversary
,han the prostrate bear.
In Germany great hope is laid in
he submarine warfare" he wrote.
I hold this attitude is deceptive.
10 not for an instant deny the fabu-
Gus results of the German heroes of !
he sea. I admit admiringly that the
monthly total of sunken tons is some {
hing akin to fable, but / go on record :

allure of the submarine warfare by O.

!, Kiel and Wilhelmshaven. il
II hope that the thought, unfor- Il
lnately incorrect, that England could tt

PAL0USE FA1NERs
ARE EEECTROCUTED
ARTHUR A JACK AND HANS
KORSBOEN KILLED NEAR PA
LOUISE SUNDAY MORNING

A distressing accident, unique in the
history of this country, occurred near
Rlngo station on the Spokane& Inland
Empire electric railroad few miles
this side Of Palouse Sunday morning
AS a result two well known farmers
were instantly killed and two others
were slightly injured. The accident
was caused by the breaking of a high
power electric wire on the power line
of the Washington Water Power
company, which fell across the tele-
phone lines. This occurred about 5
o'clock Sunday morning. In an in
stant fire flashed from the telephone
wires and receivers in every farm
house. Arthur A. Jack and Hans
Korsboen tried to disconnect the wires
and were instantly killed. The fol
lowing dispatch from Palouse to a
Spokane newspaper tells the story:
PALOUSE.- This morning about 5
o'clock, Hans Korsboen, a farmer liv-
ing three miles south of Palouse, and
Arthur A. Jack, living four miles south
were instantly killed when they at
tempted to disconnect their telephone
wires, which had become crossed with !!
the high tension wires of the Washing |
ton Water Power company.
One report is that during a wind /
storm early in the morning an in
sulator on the Washington Water
Power line broke, allowing the high
tension wire to drop against the tel
ephone wire. The electricity was
flashing into the houses along the
telephone line and started several
fires, all Of which were extinguished.
Tries to Cut Wire With Pliers
Jack is said to have tried to cut
his telephone wire outside the house
with pair of pliers. He was killed
instantly and his arm was burned
to crsp as high as the elbow, while
his thumb was left hanging to the
wire. When first seen by member
of his family the electricity was flash
ing from his body. Ii
Korsboen seized the wires running i
into his house and attempted to tear |
them from the building. In both t
cases doctors were called and pro-
nounced the men dead,
Arthur A. Jack was about 80 years #
old and leaves his widow and three
small children. He had lived in the :
Palouse country number of years. i I
Hans Korsboen was 55 years old and t
leaves his widow and three children, h
two of whom are grown. He located
in the Palouse country about year !,
ago, buying the farm where he was
killed.

French War Brides Quit

ARIS.-Sixty-tw French women
who had married American army Of
ficers or soldiers and subsequently
had been divorced in the United States,
returned to France on the same
steamer this week, according to the
newspaper Avenir. Most of them, the
newspaper added, returned not be-
cause of personal differences with
their husbands, but because of the in
ability of the brides to adapt them
selves to the American mode Of living.

had CHRONIC BRONCHITIS
FOR TWENTY SIX YEARS
vow WELL AND HAPPY
THIS IS WORTH READING


The experience of Mr.. E. J. Tou-
palik, 1438 Rose street, Lacrosse,
Wisconsin,, is chiefly remarkable
on account Of the length of time
he was afflicted.
He writes: "I have been suf-
fering with chronic bronchitis for
tWenty-six years and every winter
| would catch cold and become so
hoarse I could not speak for six or
eight weeks. I could get only tenn
porary relief.
"This winter I was taken with
Grip and was in awful shape. "A
fellow workman advised me to take
PE-RU-NA. By the time had
used three-fourths of bottle, the
hoarseness was gone, also that
tired feeling. I am on my second
bottle. Hereafter PE-RU-NA will
be constantly in my house. It is
the best medicine ever put up for
the purpose"
For any disease due to catarrh
or catarrhal conditions, PE-RU-NA
is equally dependable. Coughs,
colds, catarrh of the head, stomach
trouble, constipation, rheumatism,
pains in the back, side and loins,
bloating, belching gas, indigestion,
catarrh of the large and small in
testines, are some of the troubles
for which PE-RU-NA is especially
recommended.
PE-RU-NA can be purchased
anywhere in either tablet or liquid
form.
