Mr.. Towse says that an Italian am
bassador gave England the hint OF
impending trouble, which as Italy
seems to have been an ally of both
sides, is quite probable. So he
writes;
The report that the mobilization of
the British fleet was accomplished
then, secretly, under the pretence of
a review before the King, is now ac-
copied commonly as an established
fact. The story that Winston Church
i'll, at Kitchener's instigation, ordered
the mobilization without consulting
his colleagues is also believed, but is,
perhaps, less worthy of c%redence.
This in conjunction with the fact
that French officers commanded at
Liege and were all prepared for the
war, and that Russia modified in dis
regard Of Emperor Williams appeal,
proves ~conclusively that Germany on
ly saved herself from being invaded
by striking at the psychological mo
