COUNT CZERNIN
IS SHOWN 10 BE
A Til PROPHET
BERLIN.—Count Ottokar von
Chudenitz Czernin, formerly Aus
trian foreign minister, is shown as
a prophet who foreshadowed coming
events and the collapse of the Cen
tral powers with almost uncanny
correctness, according to his now
famous letter to the Emperor
Charles, written early in April, 1917,
in which he urged that monarch to
"make peace at all hazards or suffer
the loss of your throne.”
Parts of the text of Count Czer
nin's historic missive have been
published, but the complete text,
as presented to the assembly at
Weimar by Finance Minister Erz
berger, has now appeared for the
first time in the Deutsche Allge
meine Zeitung. the official German
organ.
It shows, among other things,
that Czernin. alone of all Austrian
statesmen, prophecied the entrance,
two years before, of Rumania into
the war on the side of the Allies,
and predicted “almost the day of
its outbreak.” The letter also said
the count “expected” immediate
French, British, * and Italian of
fensives, and his forecast was borne
out by what happened. Within a
fortnight after the note to the ruler
had been drafted, on April 16,
1917, the French began the great
Soissons-Rheims “drive" along a 25
mile front, and the British had
started the battle of Arras on a
front extending to Lens. The Ital
ians, a few weeks later, plunged
across the Isonzo in the Carso sec
tor for a distance of 37 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 America’s entry into
the war, Czernin urged the emperor
to “make another detailed peace
proposal and not be afraid to make
great, even heavy, sacrifices.” Rus
sia, he thought, had lost its offensive
power, but the Eagle of the West,
he feared, might prove a stronger
adversary than the prostrate bear.
“In Germany great hope is laid
in the submarine warfare,” he wrote.
“I hold this attitude is deceptive.
I do not for an instant deny the
fabulous results of the German he
roes of the sea. I admit admiringly
that the monthly total of sunken
tons is something akin to fable, but
I go on record as declaring that the
result expected and predicted by
the Germans will not follow.” It
must be remembered at this time
that the German U-boats were at
the height of their depredations on
ithe sea. On October 28, 1918, the
German admiralty admitted the fail
ure of the submarine warfare by
recalling all the “tigers of the
deep” to Kiel and Wilhelmshaven.
“I hope that the thought, unfortu
nately incorrect, that England could
be compelled within a few months
to make peace, will lose ground in
Berlin,” wrote Count Czernin.
“Nothing is more dangerous than to
believe those things one wants to
believe; nothing is more fatal than
not wanting to see the principle of
truth, and to succumb to utopian
illusions from which sooner or later
there must come a fearful awaken

The Pacific Steamship company
has recently issued a handsome
“tourist” folder exploiting various
sections of Alaska. Under the head
j of “Anchorage" the following ap
pears :
S “Located at the entrance to Cook
(inlet, one of the most beautiful
bodies of water in Alaska. Fishing
is the principal industry. Near the
:head of Cook inlet is the town of
(Anchorage, on the line of the new
(Government railroad to the Interior,
population 3,000, the city being
;only three years old. From this
point the railroad now stretches 120
; miles farther north toward Interior
Alaska. From Anchorage a splen
did view is afforded of Mt. McKin
ley. the highest peak on the North
American continent. Large schools
of Beluga whales are a common
sight in the waters of the inlet.
Nearby lakes and mountain streams
abound with trout, grayling and
pickerel. The summer climate is
delightful, there being very little
rain and almost continual daylight.
Anchorage boasts of the only out
door bathing resort in Alaska.”
