Czernin thinks, but in Vienna also
that a Statesman was lacking who was
equal to the demands of this war and
could collaborate with the military
leaders i'm securing victory
The leading statesmen had no faith
in victory, failed to find the road TO
peace, and yet remained in office.
Worked Well With Won Arr
Emperor Charles made General Won
ARR chief of the general staff OF the
Austro-Hungarian army in place OF
General Won Conrad. who took over
the command of the army group on
the Tyrol front ! had always been
on terms of the greatest confidence
with General Won Conrad. so that from
the personal point Of view ! saw this
great general leave his office with
lunmiXed regret,
MY relations with General Won Arr
were however, to become even more
intimate. He was a convinced friend
of the German empire and the Ger
man army
During the summer campaign of
1915 he had commanded the 9Th Aus
/ tro- Hungarian army corps as part of
the 18th army, and in close co-opera-
ton with German troops had led it
with such ability as to earn for him
self and his corps the highest German
regard. As commander of the 1st
army in Pennsylvania he achieved
everything that was humanity possible
with the material at his disposal.
| He achieved a large measure of
cordial relation between the German
and the Austro-H Hungarian troops in
I his army and devoted himself whole
! heartedly to their training. Perhaps
! not so agile of mind as General Won
| Conrad. he was a soldier of sound
grasp. who did his utmost to improve
! the army, and to get for it from the
! country everything it needed. lie did
! the best that could be done, without
achieving anything decisively great,
| He improved as time went on.
I General Won Arz selected as his di-
rector of operations General Won
Waldstatten capable and ambitious
officer, who earned the confidence OF
his chief and of the army.
/ Good liaison and cooperation be-
tween ourselves and the Austrian
headquarters was thus a certainty for
| the future.
