Coincident with the report of the
acceptance of the resignation of

premier, comes a report of a serious

which for many months has been re
ported to -bo seething' with antl.paa-.

ooject to the creation of a German
gorernment there, but the Incident
may be more algnlflcant than has so
far appeared. The Slarlc races of
Bohemia hare long been standing out
against the Oermanisatlon of their
country and the outbreak at Prague
may be only another indication of the
deep-seated opposition to the war as
pirations of the central powers.
Washington. News of the resigna-
Uon of Count Cxernln as Austro-Hun
garlan foreign minister lead to much
speculation among officials and diplo
mats here as to the causes which
brought about the rather dramatie

the extreme German riews. It had
been supposed that he had greatly
strengthened his position.
i nis cnange was manifested soon
after the Brest-Litorsk peace confer
ences, where Cxernln had become
convinced that his moderate riews re
garding the basis of peace were un
acceptable to the "dominant annexa
tion and forced Indemnity party
Therefore officials here, are Inclined
to believe that It was not because the
count was obnoxious to Austria's great
ally that he was forced out of office.
but rather that the explanation was
to be found in Internal Austro-Hun-
garlan Issues.
It Is recognised that 'Cxernln- in-

posals last year, thereby enabling the
arencn government to aeuver a mas
ter stroke In diplomacy by producing
tne . famous letter of Charles to
Prince Slxtus. But quite aside from
the Slxtus letter, recent events in
Austria-Hungary have Indicate that
Count Cxernln's tenure might be
short. Ia the first place there was the
frightful suffering of the population
and especially in Bohemia, from the
state of semi-starvation for which they
held the gorernment responsible be
cause .it would not make peace at
once. Then there was the bitter dis-
over the relinquishment of the rich
country of Cholm to the Ukraine as
one of the conditions of the Brest-
Lltorsk peace. Finally there was the
concentrated hatred of the foreign
minister by the anti-German elements
ofthe Austrian confederation because
of his relapse into extreme conserra-
usm ana nis aaopuon or tne pan-
German program In Its entirety, with
all, of Its reactionary policy.. '
It Is understood Emperor Charles
himself still has liberal leanings and
is disposed to moderation so far as
war is concerned. It is concelred that
he might easily be inclined . to rid
himself of an official so unpopular
with a large part of the Austro-Hun-
garlan population.
It has been known, too, for a long
time that the count has been a sick
man and that he has often shown
signs or abstraction and nas many
times been near the point of absolute
