London, May 6. Count Czernin,
fTien "Austro-Hungarian foreign min
ister paid i a secret visit to Jassy
in the latter' part of February
and delivered in person a verbal ulti
matum' of the most drastic sort from
the central powers to King Ferdinand
of Roumania, has become known
with the arrival here of the American
Red Cross mission to Roumania.
Count Czerntn's visit was known
only in the highest . official circles and
the fact that it was made is revealed
now for the first time through a cor
respondent of The" Associated Press
who ' accompanied the mission. The
reason for the visit was that the Ger
mans and Austrians had determined
to bring to a speedy conclusion the
negotiations with Roumania and ha!
decided that a threat delivered in per
son by the head of the Austro-Hungarian.
foreign office would be more
effective than reams of documents.
' Delivers Ultimatum.
So Count Czernin was sentn the
errand. He arrived in Jassy about
February 25 and went straight to the
king. His manner was stern, unbend
ing, ruthless. He told the king bluntly
that Kpumania must conclude peace

ately. There must be no further de
lays, and unless Roumania consented
to this program,, the central powers
purposed issuing a ukase deposing the
Roumanian royal house and dividing
the entire country between Austrii
and Bulgaria.
The Roumanian king saw no way
out and a week later the formal peace
negotiations were begun.
