pecially her position on Viscount
Grey's proposal to submit the Russo
Austrian dispute to arbitration.
1t is declared at the foreign office
that the evidence proves the German
government not only transmitted Wis
count Greys suggestion to Vienna,
but was 'insistent in urging it's ac-
ceptance." 1t is held to be proved
that Count Berchtold apparently on
purpose delayed his answer to Ber-
lin. sending it by courier who reached
here after mobilization had been or
dered.
In the meantime. DIR. Bethmann
Hollweg had been obliged to put of
Sir William Edward Gosche, the Brit

no answer had been received from the
Austrian foreign Office. 1t is declared
that the Austrian Red Book "disposes
