Foreign minister Czernin quits amid peace talks clash
Amsterdam reports Count Czernin, Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, has resigned and Charles I judges will lead foreign affairs until a successor is chosen. The crisis follows the French peace appeal and Czernin’s pacifist moves seen as Berlin-influenced, with Clemenceau denying peace talks. The Vienna statement claims no one is blamed for a forged letter and that the affair ends. Baron Rhondda links German hunger to Western offensives, praising US aid and UK food rationing.
