LONDON, Orli 10.---Accordl.g te despatches received farm Vieille', Count Czernln, the Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister, has resigned. Emperor Charles accepted tee resignation and entrusted Count Csernin wleh the conduct of foretge affairs until his successor' Is ae- pointed. An official statement received here from Vienna asserts that the latest statements of the French Preaater, M. Clemenceau, concerning the coa- versatlona between Austria sad iFrance ,regarding the possibility of opening peace negotiations do not al- ter the situation ai regards the ma- t jorlty of Count Csernln's declar- ations. The Austrian Foreign Mials- try, the statement says, is unable to ascertain who was responsible tor delivering to the French what is said to have been a forged letter, substi- tuted tor the letter which was to have been delivered, Neltlser Prlace Sixtus, whose character hs beyond suspicion, nor anyone sheets accused of falsification, continues the state- ment, which concludes: "The affair is herewith declared to be at an cad." Count Czernln did not know of Emperor Charles' letter to Prince Sixtus when he made the statement that France had Initiated the coover- aatlons with Austria, aecording to a Vienna despatch to the Lokal An- :eiger of Berlin. On learning of the letter he resigned, but yielded to a request that he remain in omce until the conclusion of the peace agree- ment with Itoementa, . The recent publication by the French Government of the futile peace appeal sent out by Emperor Charles of Austria-Hungary in March, 1917, and the efforts of the Emperor and the Austro-Hungarian Foreign (Mice to explain this letter to the satisfaction of Germany and the German Emperor, probably were the most potent influences in cring- ing about the resignation of Count Czernin. Since he was appointed Foreign Minister on December 23, 1916, in succession to Baron Burlan, Count Czernln has been very active In at- tempting to bring about peace, and the moderate tone of his speeches has been In sharp contrast with that of the German Chancellor and For- eign Secretaries. However, We par- ticipation In the forced peace upon Russia. as well as that upon Rou- mania, did not show that his actions kept step with his words. Count Czernin on April 4 In an address at Vienna declared that Pre- mier Clemenceau had sough: peace negotiation% with Auatrta. The French Premier replied that Cou.t Czernln lied. The French and Attie Wan Foreign Offices then issued statements explaining the unoecial negotiations In Switzerland. Early last week the French Gov- ernment declared that Emperor Charles and Count Czernln both had said that the claim of France to Alsace-Lorraine was just. This brought a dental from Emperor Charles In the form of a telegram to Emperor Wililam, to whom he re- itetated his loyalty to the German cause and denied that be had said France was Justified in wanting Al- sace-Lorraine returned. This Immediately brought from the French Government the publica- n of a letter from Emperor Charles 6o his brother -In-law, Prince Sixtus of Bourbon, whloh was autographed, and which the Emperor asked be given to President Poincare. In the letter the Emperor said that France should have Alsace-Lorraine, ,tad that Belgium and Serbia should be restored. He also asked that London and Paris be telt out as to probable peace terms. German newspapers have attacked both Emperor Charles and his For- eign Secretary, because of ties letter, and attempts have been made to show that it was not written by the Em- peror. It has been reported In Vien- na that there was no attempt to hide Its authenticity, but that the French version was garbled. it has also been reported that the letter was written by the Emperor's mother -1n - law. Count Czernin was in Roumania when the letter was published by the French Government, and he was summoned to Vienna Friday. Count Ottokar Csernin von Chu- denitz, a wealthy Bohemian land- owner, was Minister to Roumania when that country entered the war. Within six weeks atter the death re Emperor Francis Joseph, Count Czernln was appolated Furelgn Min- ister by Emperor Charles. Count Czernln is a very close friend of Count Berchtold, Foreign Minister at the outbreak of the war, and wbo has been reported as the political mentor of the young Emperor. Count Berohtotd has been opposed to the Pan -German war party, and Ma resignation was brought about by them. Four Lives Lest When Estonian Steak.

This pride is justified by the activities of her people, by her unlimited natural resources, by her splendid institu- tions, and particularly by her Industries. Facts about the immensity of some• Canadian industries would astonish most people. These industries, when viewed in the light of cQtllparison with other countries, irce simply tre- mendous. The growth of any 'industry is limited to the numbe of people it can serve, and that is fact not often properly appreciated when Canadian industries are compared to similar enterprises in, say, the United States. For example: the population of the United States exceeds 100,000,000. Opportunity for in- , dustries there is almost unlimited. In comparison, Canada with its seven million population is a small- country—yet in spite of this com- paratively small population, Can- , ada possesses several industries which in actual size rank among the biggest in the world. In shoemaking, one Canadian concern has developed a volume of business and a scn'ice 'to the Canadian people ,which is not ST. JOAN equalled by another shoe' manu- facturer anywhere in the world. This concern, if located in the United States, would rank as one of the twelve largest out of some thousand shoe manufacturers there. • Wile the sales of the largest shoe manufacturer in the United States --selling to the American people—do not exceed twenty-five cents per capita per }car, the sales of Arles Holden McCready to the Canadian people last year were approximately eighty cents per capita. In a comparative sense, there- fore, this Canadian concern is reater than the foremost Ameri- n shoe manufacturer in the United States. Thus Ames Holden McCready truly Brit the distinction of their title " oemakers to the Canadian Nation. Just imagine for a moment the enormous work of supplying a large po n of Canada's 7,000.000 peo- ple wi its boots and shoes: —it requires—huge up-to-date fac- tories equipped with the most modern machinery able to turn , out 8,000 pairs of shoes a day. —it requires—a variety of nearly 800 different styles to meet the requirements of all classes of peo- ple, for different grades, shapes and kinds of shoes. —it requires—the maintenance of six large distributing branches in principal cities frorn coast tc coast, and in these are carried over a million dollars worth of stock, ready for quick delivery to re- tailers. ' —it requires—sixty travelling sales- men to call on the retail trade, because out of approximately to,000 retail dealers who sell shoes in Canada, more than S,000 handle A.H.M. Shoes. —it requires—many other details of organization and equipment, but this brief outline will give you some slight idea of the part that this great shoe t mccrn is playing Fn the business of supplying footwear to the Canadian people. You will be interested in these }pipea, because the next time you buy footwear bearing the A.H.M. Brand, you wt l know that they are the product of a large and efficient organization making shoes which will in every case give you the greatest value for yoetr money.
