In announcing the breaking off OF
relations with Austria the French for
eign office made the following state
ment:
Contrary to assurances given by
Austria to the French minister of for
eign affairs that no Austrian troops
were taking part in the FrancoGerman
war. the French government has as
certained, beyond any possible doubt,
that certain Austrian troops are at
present In Germany, outside the Aus
trian frontier. These troops, which
have set free certain German troops
destined to be employed in fighting the
French, ought, indubitably de facto and
de 1ure, to be considered as acting
against France. In these circum-
stances, the French ambassador was
ordered to leave Vienna"
The Austrian ambassador at Paris,
on being informed of Frances decision,
asked for his passports.
The Austro-Hungarian ambassador
to England was still in London Mon
day and the British government seems
disposed to leave the initiative to Aus
tria-Hungary in the question as to
whether war is to be declared between
the two countries.
