 "Dated August 14, 1914.
 Received August 13, 7:3O D. m.
 Secretary of State, Washington, Au
 gust II, 3 D. m.:
 The following was communicated personally to me by the emperor ir writing:
 Private and confidential:
 For the President personally:
 One. The Royal Higness, Prince Henry, was received by his majesty, King Geoge V in London, who em- powered him to transmit to me verbal ly that England would remain neu- tral if war broke out on the continent involving Germany and France, Aus tria and Russia. This message was telephoned to me by my brother from London after his conversation with his majesty the king and repeated verbally on the 29th of July. tg ',
 Two. My ambassador in London transmitted a message from Sir Ed ward Gray to Berlin saying that only in case France was likely to be crush ed would England interfere.
 Three. On the 30th my ambassa- dor in London reported that Sir Ed ward Gray, in the course of priv ate (sic) conversation told him that if the conflict remained localized be- tween Russia-not Servia-and Aus tria-England would not move, but if we mixed in the fray she would take quick decisions and grave meas ures; in other words, if l left my ally, Austria in the lurch to fight alone, England would not touch me.
 "'Four. This communication be ing directly counter to the kings message to me, l telegraphed to his majesty on the 29th or Both thanking
 him for kind message through my brother and begging him to use all his power to keep Franco and Rus ria, his allies, from making any war like preparations calculated to dis turb my work on mediation, stating that l was in constant communication with his majesty, the czar. In the eve ming the king kindly answered that he had ordered his government to use every possible influence with allies to ropudiate any possible provocativs his majesty asked me, l should trans init to Vienna the British proposal that Austria was to take Belgrade and a few other Servian towns and a strip of country as main myse (sic) to make sure that the Servian prom ises on paper should be fulfilled in reality. This proposal was in the same moment telegraphed from Vi- enna to London quite in conjunction with the British proposal, besides i had telegraphed to him majesty, the czar, the same as an idea of mine before I received the two communi- cations from Vienna and London. AS both were of the same opinion, I i'm transmitted the telegrams vice versa to Vienna and London. felt that I was able to tide the ques- tion over and was happy at the peace full outlook.
 "'Five. While I was preparing note to his majesty the czar the next to inform him that Vienna, London and Berlin were agreed about the treatment of affairs, 1 received the telephone message from his excel lency, the chancellor, that in the night before the czar had given the order to mobilize the whole Russian army, which was of course also meant against Germany; whereas. up till then the southern armies had been against Austria.
 "'Six. In a telegram from London 1 my ambassador informed me he un- derstood British government would l guarantee neutrality of France and l wished to know whether Germany | would refrain from attack. tele- graphed to his majesty the king per sonally that mobilization already being carried out could not be stop ped, but if his majesty could guaran- zee with his armed forces the neu' trality of France I would refrain rom attacking her, leave her alone md employ my forces elsewhere.
