COUNT CIES N 1T
Austro-Hungarian Foreign Min
ester Has Resigned.
Ni. Attire' Wee ('aused by Pebleot -
eon of Peace l.gtter Wrtaeami 4fy
Emperor Charles to Presides of
France — Triumph fur Paa.Qer-
asan Party. by Whom Creemin
Was Hated.
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.

CANADAS PRIDE
CANA'.AANS have' good reason to be proud of the position Canada
holds in the world today. 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.

Of what use Is a diamond, anyway? � It's wonderfully easy for a small man to

Kansas City Star
The answer, based upon statistics
furnished by Jewellers, sews to be
that the diamond is most valuable
as an aid to marriage. it la said
that the trade in diamonds goes up
or down In ratio with increasing or
decreasing number of marriages.
This 1s beeanee the diamond fa used
so much as the setting In engagement
tense.
List year the United States Import-
ed 884,000,000 worth of diamonds,
an Increase of 70 per cent. error 1916
and 110 per cent. over 1914.
Looking Into this startling growth
of the diamond trade It was discover-
ed that, according to leading Import-
ers, 'every girl expects • real dia-
