out here some passages contained in

(a) In the report of Baron Giesl

you find this language: Since the
annexation crisis, the relations
between the Dual Monarchy and

II affirm it as an established
axiom that Seryia's policy has but
one aim, namely, the detachment

famous Austrians," were some pc the
ornamental by-words applied to us.
"Hartwig's death, which meant a
profound bereavement to the Servian
political world, has been followed by
a fanatic cult of the departed. This
sentiment, however, was due not only
to gratitude for his assistance In the
past, but to a n OF apprehension

made to please Russia by a display
OF slayeJIke servility, In order to
secure that country's goodwill for
the future" l

In Its entirety. In contains Count
Berchtold's instructions to the
Imperial and Royal Ambassadors at
Berlin, Rome, Paris, London, St
Petersburg, and Constantinople, con
corning our note TO servia.
(c) Read the Memoir of the Red
Book under XIX.
iii, Austria at once assumed TO
hold servia responsible for this
murder, and dispatched an ultimatum
containing ten drastic conditions
which were more exacting upon the
dignity OF Servia than any demand
that was ever before made by one
nation upon another. Yet Servla
yielded to all except in parts as to
Articles 5 and 9. In Article s the
