THE occupation Of Belgrade was
carried out without serious difficulty.
The invading troops crossed the river,
partly by means Of the remnants of
the railway bridge which was blown
up by the Servians and partly by a
.pontoon bridge constructed under It's
cover, and approached the Seryian
camp from the south.

steep hill, driving the Servians before
them. The Servians retreated, partly
along the road leading to Groca and
partly toward Popovics. The losses
on both sides appeared to have been
comparatively light.

The ancient fortress of Belgrade
was reduced by the Austrian artillery

struck by an Austrian shell.
Servian sharpshooters greatly har-

War Without Severing Diplomatic Relations
France and Germany Believed to Be Trying
to Throw Responsibility Upon Each Other.

London. Four great powers of Eu-
Austria Hungary, Russia, France
and Germany are now engaged In
actual warfare, but two Of them Ger
many and France-have not only not
declared war against each other, as
oar as Is known here, but have not
even severed diplomatic relations. This
Is despite the fact that Germany's
ultimatum to France has either been
ignored or rejected.
The explanation of this would APP
pear to be that Germany and France
are each seeking to throw upon the
other the onus of beginning the war.
In fact, while the nations of Europe
are flying at one another's throats,
they vie with each other In protesting
their desire to maintain peace and
they repudiate the responsibility for
plunging the whole Continent into
bloodshed.
France Last To Mobilize.
In this curious situation France,
according to British opinion, has the
strongest justification. She certainly
was the last to mobilize and seems to
have taken the greatest precautions
to avoid frontier collisions.
On the other hand, Germany, in ad-
dition to invading French territory
without making a formal declaration
of war, has violated the neutrality Of
lHxemburg and declines to give any
undertaking to respect Belgian neu-
arality. The efforts Of the British Am
bassodar at Berlin to secure such an
undertaking have been wasted.
Hard For Britain To Keep Out.
It is difficult to see how Great Britain
can avoid being drawn into the con-
llict to protect Belgium and Dutch
neutrality. and on this point Premier
Asquith's official announcement in
Parliament is awaited with intense
anxiety. the British public being no
longer under any illusions as to the
gravity Of the crises which transcends
anything In their experience.
The least observant man in London
Sunday could not fail to be impressed
with the fact that seaething tremend-
GUS was happening. Short of actual
formal mobilization. the British Gov
eminent is taking all necessary steps
10 meet a situation unprecedented in
The nations history.
