WAR A DEVELOPMENT
OF COUNTER DESIGNS
ON DUAL MONARCHY
German Emperor Meant to Put Son Eitel on Buda-
pest Throne; Franz Ferdinand Was in Scheme
With Landed Aristocrats and Was
Obstacle to Berlin.

New York, March 27.-George Creel,
former chairman of the committee on
public information, made public tonight
a summary of the secret correspondence
of Count Czernin, late foreign minister
Of Austria Hungary, which was turned
over to Edgar Sisson, at Prague. by the
custodian official of the Bohemian gov
ernment. Jan. "A, last. One OF the most
sensational discoveries was that there
was German Magyar conspiracy
against Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir
apparent to the throne of Austria, who
was assassinated at Sarajevo on June -,
1914, becuse he was considered rival
of the then Emperor William.
Mr.. Creel said Mr.. Sisson accepted the
privilege of using the correspondence IN
behalf of the United States government.
Translators and photographer in the
service of the committee on public infor-
nation were set at work to translate the
documents for general publication in this
country as the final public contribution
of the committee, according to Creel he
declared one COPY was to be turned over
to Secretary of State Lansing for use OF
the peace conference commission investi-
eating responsibility for the outbreak of
the war, while another was to be sent to
the committee at Washington, for re-
lease to the press.
Franz Wanted to Shake Berlin.
In a report to Mr.. Sisson on the scope
of the letters. Captain Emmanuel Noska.
T. 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 a strong
Austria, which would eventually emanci-
pate itself from the influence of Berlin.
This was blocking Berlins plan for ex-
pansion toward the east and the Berlin
government came to an understanding
with the Budapest government to offset
the plans of Francis Ferdinand.
From one of the letters it is evident
that the German emperor's son, Eitel
Frederick. was selected to study the
Magyar language and to make friends
of the Magyar nobility.
"Altho no 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 archduke was rather
friend of Serbia in hatred of the Mag
yars. as he knew of the conspiracy be-
tween the Berlin and the Budapest gov
ernments.

Counsel for the Baltimore club made

during previous btebcll litigations by
Joseph Villa, New York reporter, IN
which Ban johnson, American league
president, was quoted as saying some
derogatory things about the Federal
league. Counsel for organized baseball

Der was other than patriotic.

tude toward Weisgerber and his So

submitted these to the government free

war mission was saturated solution of
gasoline and picric acid and that the
acid yas dangerous and destructive.
