Austrian Peace Revelations

from Charles / confirming the desire
of peace, for which he had been
very keen ever since he came to the
throne. Prince Sixte requested to
be put in touch with a person hold
ing the confidence of the Emperor,
and told his mother he considered
the Fundamental conditions of peace
should be: The return Of Alsace
Lorraine to France, the restitution
Of Belgium and Serbia, and finally
Constantinople to the Russians.
''On the morning of the 10th OF
February he arrived IN Paris, leav-
ing again the evening OF the 18th
for Switzerland, where. on the 18th,
at 1880, a messenger from the EN-
peror came to him. bearing a letter
from the Empress as evidence that
he was accredited by the, Emperor.
This messenger declared the
Emperor had shown great interest
In the first propositions. lie thought
peace could be brought about on
that basis. and he earnestly begged
the prince to do all in his power to
obtain il.
Prince sixte Mt the EIysee.
The messenger returned with
several documents the 2lst of Feb
ruary, requesting Prince Sixte to
come to Vienna, in agreement with
Count Czernin, who was aware of
the negotiations. The 5th Of March
Prince StNte was received by Mon
sleur Poincaire, who was aware of
the journey Of the prince to Switz-
erland. They agreed on the import
ance OF detaching Austria from the
coalition by means of a separate
peace. but the letter from Czernin,
which Prince Sixte was CARRYING,
was judged by Monsieur Poincare
to be lacking in precision, and dry
and diplomatic.
This letter declared the Austro-
Germanic-Turco-B Bulgarian alliance
to be indissoluble and requested
special guarantees against Serbia.
Instead, the letter from the En-
perior. secret and personal, was
clear and to the point, and showed
strong personal will. 1t said par
ticularly:
I'VE will uphold France and we
will put pressure on Germany by
every means in our power
Feared Indiscretions at Rome.
Monsieur Poincare saw possibiIi-
ties for negotiation in this letter
and announced he would communi-
cate II to Monsieur BRAND, to the
Gar, to the King OF England, and
to Mr.. Lloyd George, but he feared
Italian indiscretions towards Ger
many.
''On March s a further interview
took place with Monsieur Poincare.
Monsieur BRAND found the Czernin
letter OF small Importance, but that
the commentaries of the Emperor
contained a basis for an exchange
of views"

JOY AND YOUR JOB.
BY EDMUND VANCE COOKE

BY EDMUND VANCE COOKE.
Maybe you're one of the famous
Maybe you're one of the moilins
mob,
But it's little the difference what
you do,
If you put joy into your Job.
And the joy comes back to others
and you
With a zest which shall long re-
main,
For its quality fingers through and
through
AS a wood is marked of its grain.
The rewards of the world are par
celled out
trust,
For we give a crown to a crazy lout
While a shivering genius gnaws
a crust.
And the only wage which is safe
and sure, I.
The only reward which none may
rob,
Is the everyday effort to make Sc
cure
That joy goes into the job.
No, am not acclaiming a calm con-
tent
For a pocketed. put-upon, pent-in
folk;
do not hold it life well spent
Which hardens its neck to the
needless yoke.
But say that Shakespeare's line,
are lies
And a Rafaers colors a dfeary
daub,
Unless in his efforts the workman
tries
To put joy into his job.

For many months there have been
rumors that the Emperor Charles
OF Austria offered a separate peace
to the entente in the spring of 1911,
just before the United States enter
ed the war. There have been vague
official references to the incident
and much newspaper discussion. At
last the Paris paper. L'Opinion, pub
fishes what purports to be the full
truth of the mysterious affair,
The two Bourbon princes, Sixte
and Xavier, sons OF the Duchess of
Parma, have long been to all in
tents and purposes Austrians. The
French republic would not permit
children of their former ruling
house to reside in France. So these
two Bourbon princes grew up In ex-
lie. Their sister, Zita, married the
Austrian Archduke Charles, who, on
the death OF old Franz Josef. be-
came Emperor of the dual mon
archy. But when the war broke out
in 1914 Prince Sixte heard the call
of his race and hurried to France
had sheltered him in his youth and
over which his sister was soon to
become Empress.
The background of the Offer.
When the Emperor Charles as
cended the throne. IL was generally
rumored he was not very loyal to
the alliance which bound him to the
chariot of William IL.
On April 9, 1918. Count Czernin.
in a speech at Vienna, stated that
Clemenceau had sent out a peace
feeler" the year before. Clemen-
Ii 4 n
in reply one sentence from the let
ter of Charles ! to Prince Sixte rec
ognizing the just French claims in
regard to Alsace Lorraine" Count
Czernin denied the authenticity of
this letter and then resigned on
April 15.
These official assertions and de-
malls were all the public knew OF
the affair. But so much smoke in
( dicated some fire. The revelation
/ published in the Paris press has
started an impassioned controversy
II the facts are as L'Opinion al
leEes, the principle points of inter
est to Americans are the dates Our
declaration of war seems to have
been the turning point in the nego-
ltiations.
The Mission OF Prince Sixtc.
The first account of these myste-
rious discussions as published by
L'Opniion follows:
! Prince SiXte of Bourbon. brother
OF the Empress Zita. was able, at
the outbreak of war. with the helm
of Emperor Franz Josef. to leave
Austria and to serve in France. On
the Esd of January. 1917. he left the
Belgian. front and went with his
brother to see his mother, the Ouch
ess OF Parma. who told him OF the
desire of Emperor Charles / to see
bis two brothers-in-law in order to
discuss the possibilities OF peace di-
rectly with them.

1t appears that the woman was
riding on a Fourteenth street car
and when it arrived at U street the
conductor yelled In the woman's
ear:
Transfer for you
"No, no, no transfer for me- she
shouted excitedly.
1t also develops that many former
soldiers are serving as street car
conductors on the Washington lines
and being able to recognize French
women by the peculiar bulldog
toed shoes they are wearing this
spring 1t is not unusual for them
to try out some of their French on
fair visitors when they board the
cars.
Should Senator Harding, of Ohio,
be elected President. it is not un-
likely that he would imediately seek
to have Congress declare war on the
lady milliners of Paris. Nor would
any reasonable minded married man
blame him when he hears the cir
eumstances under which the Sena-
ator once Became infuriated at the
Paris milliners.
Several years ago. the Senator and
Mrs. Harding took a trip abroad
and when they arrived in Paris. the
Senator. in payment of a wager, or
q burst Of generosity, perhaps, de-
cided to buy Mrs. Harding a hat.
She picked IT out ami the Senator
laid out $40 for 1t. Which, before
the high cost of peacock feathers
and sucn set in. was quite a few
smackers for a hat.

.Jimmy the song" Is Dead,

Another former Washington char
acter has gone to the great beyond.
I am informed by PATRICK Z,
DONOVAN that Jimmy the Song
died on the Pacific Coast about a
month ago. My friend Donovan has
just returned from the Far West,
and says Jimmie died with the
words of one of his favorite songs
on his lips. He was a dwarf, and
his short legs would not support
the weight Of his body, so he wore
half-soles on the seat of his trous-
ers and the palms of his hands and
wriggled along on the sidewalk
from place to place. 1t was his
habit to sing popular songs on the
streets and then pass his hat around
for fees"
One-day while Jimmie was enter
tanning a crowd on the sidewalk by
singing. a policeman approached
and threatened to arrest him for
street begging under the old va
grancy act.
