ticular appears at the close of the German emperor's cable letter in which he substitutes for the word Knowledge" the word news; it makes the most important sentence read: Instead, he (sir E. Grey) de- clared England had to defend Bel gian neutrality, which had to be vio- lated by Germany on strategic grounds, news having been received that France was already preparing to enter Belgium. and the King of the Belgians having refused my petition for a free passage under guarantee of his country's freedom"
 Kaiser's Message in Full.
 The emperor's cable message reads in full as follows:
 For the President of the
 United States personality:
 10/VIII IA.
 1. H. R. H. Prince Henry was re- ceived by His Majesty King George V in London, who empowered him to transmit it to me verbally that Eng land would remain neutral if war broke out on the continent involving Germany and France, Austria and Russia. The message was telegraphed to me by my brother from London after his conversation with H. M. the king, and repeated verbally on the twenty ninth of July.
 g. My ambassador in London trans mitted a message from Sir E. Grey to Berlin saying that only in case France was likely to be crushed England would interfere.
 3.

This proposal was in the same moment telegraphed to me from Vienna for London, quite in conjunction with the British pro- posal; besides I had telegraphed to 1 H. M. the Czar the same as an idea 1 of mine, before I received the two l comm unications from Vienna and 1 London, as both were of the same l opinion. l 5. I immediately transmitted the l telegrams vice versa to Vienna and London. I felt that was able to tide 1 the question over and was happy at the peaceful outlook.
 6. While I was preparing note to 1 H. M. the Car the next morning to inform him that Vienna, London and Berlin were agreed about the treat ment of affairs I received the tele- ! phones from H. E. the Chancellor that 1 in the night before the Czar had giv en the order to mobilize the whole of
