ON April I, 1918, Baron Bcyens at
Berlin forecast the circumstances under
which the present war would begin. He
wrote:
The entry Of Austrian troops on
Ralkan territory, rather Serbian than
Muntenegrin because in Serbia military
operations would be easier. than In Mon
tcnegro, would give the MOTIVE for a
Russian intervention and would prob.
ably unchain a general war. That is a
contingency of such sravity-that at
least is the hone here-as to cause the
two Powers on whose decision the peace
of Europe is depending to shrink from
IT,"
TIL" Baron, much less devoted to the
German view than his predecessor. Baron
Gr"indl. wrote later:
The majority Of tho Germans and the
FrNuch undoubtedly wish to live in peace.
But a powerful minority in the two
countries only dream OF battles, wars of
conquest ~ Of oycnGc. That is the
danger, next which one must live as next
