surances of friendship and support,
saying that every means must be
used<to end the Serbian agitation,
and added:
Kaiser Held Hands Off.
II refrain from taking any posi-
ton pending the question between
your government and Serbia"
DR.. Won Bethman-Hollweg, the
then imperial chancellor of Ger
many, warned Vienna that if Aus
tria provoked war this might bring
consequences that could not be fore
seen, and he drew Austria's atten-
ton to the terrible responsibility of
such procedure.
Vienna did not give the German
government the text of Serbia S
conciliatory answer to the Austrian
ultima tum until Berlin had fatty de-
manded to see it.
Count Won Berchtold, who is
now with ex-Emperor Charles at
Geneva, Switzerland, appears in the
"red book" as the central and some
what Machiaevellian figure.
Prepared Army Data.
1t develops from the documents
that Berchtold, some days prior to
the assassination of Archduke Fran
els Ferdinand, requested Baron Con-
rad Won Hoetzendorff, chief of the
Austrian general staff, to work out
for him memorial of Austria's mil
itary chances in the event Of war
with Russia, with particular refer
ence to Rouinst1ia as an enemy in
such war.
This memorial was given to Berch-
told July 2. Emperor Francis Jo-
seph, in a personal letter to the
kaiser, refers to it as the memorial
which was worked out before the
terrible catastrophe at Sarajevo.'
Indications are that this Hoetzen-
dorf memorial on military prospects
in war with Russia, Roumania and
Serbia served as the keynote OF
Count Berchtold's thoughts and
plans, as contained in a written
protocol of the proceedings of the
Austrian ministerial council at vi
emma July T..
There seems to be ground for the
conclusion that this may have, been
Omaha daily bee., 1919-09-28

the real "Pofsdam council" of which
so much has been said and written
during the war.
Those present at the Vienna coun.
Gil were Count Won Berchtold, Coun,
Won Stuergkh (then Austrian pre-
mier, later assassinated), Coupt
Tis&a Chen Hungarian premier)
also later assassinated; Minister oil
Finance Billinski, Minister of War
Krobatin, Chief of Staff Won Hoet-
zendorff and Naval Commander
Kailer.
Count Hoyes, chief of Berchtold's
cabinet, recorded the proceedings oil
the council in his own handwriting
Count Berchtold, in his opening
speech, outlined the situation in this
way:
Lied About Kaiser.
"Our conversations with Berlin
have led to most satisfactory re-
suits, as the kaiser and Herr Won
Bethmann-H ollweg have assured us
of their fullest support in the event
of armed action"
This declaration by Berchtold was
directly contrary to the real facts,
as shown by the kaiser's letter to
Franz Joseph and by DR.. Won Beth
mann ollwegs warning to Russia
against plunging the world into war
Austria Alone to Blame.
Thus another seal Of mystery
about the world war is broken. The
secret archives of the Vienna for
eign Office have revealed the sinister
diplomatic Vaccinations of the
Austro-Hungarian foreign minister
in those critical days.. One more
phase of the iniquitous.system of Sc
cret diplomacy which deliberately
lied, if it did not actually force, the
final stages making war inevitable,
is laid bare in its worst form.
Simultaneously with the bringing
to light of these hitherto unpub-
lished documents, DR.. R. Coos, who
with the authorization of the Aus
trian government spent months in
searching the Vienna foreign office
archives, and who compiled the red
book" gives a book of his own,
called the "Vienna Cabinet and the
Genesis of the World War" In it
DR.. Coos not only uses the official
documents contained in the "red
book" but connects the documents
with events in the various govern
ments of the time. The secret
documents, together with the COM
pliers commentaries, promise to
become one of the most sensational
and valuable contributions to the
history of the wafs genesis.
Knew Where Russia Stood.
That Vienna had no doubt about
Russia is shown by the statement of
Count Tisza:
Russia will fight to the death
before she will let Serbia be an
initiated"
At the afternoon session of the
council of July 7 at Vienna, War
Minister Krobatin put three ques-
tons to the chief of the Austrian
general staff as follows:
WAS it possible to mobilize only
against Serbia at first and later

"Just as scrub cattle, scrub

just as much an economic loss to

Serbia had refused to fulfill Wen
mas demands.
Might Lose Germany.
"Our demands, though severe,
must not be ultimate" Count Tisza
warned. Count Stuergkh, the Aus
trian premier, supported Berchtold.
He declared the psychological situ-
alton created was pressing for
armed conflict with Serbia and that
if Vienna pursued a policy of hest
tation and weakness there was dan
ger of losing Germany's support.
"How the conflict is to be begun
| is question CT detail" \Stuergkh
said. IF a surprise attack. sans
crier guerre' (without crying war;
as Tisza said, is impracticable, then
we must simply find another way"
War Minister Korbatin said a
diplomatic victory such as desired
by Tisza would be of no value and
that such success would be inter
preted as sign of weakness. From
military standpoint, he said, he
must emphasize it would be more IA
vorable to make war Immediately.
Predicted Calamity.
Count Tisza then spoke of the ter
trible calamity of an European war
under modern conditions. He in
sisted that in the event of war he
would never agree to any part of
Serbia being annexed to Austria.
Tisza was unmovable in his opposi-
ton to an immediate attack on
Serbia, saying even mobilization
must not be ordered until the de-
mands presented to Serbia had been
rejected. The protocol of the coun-
Gil continues:
"All those present, with the ex-
ception of the Hungarian premier,
were of the opinion that mere
diplomatic success, even if it resulted
in the humiliation of Serbia would
be worthless and that therefore such
far-reaching demands should be pre-
sented that rejection can be foreseen
in order that radical solution in
the wav of military Intervention may
be started"
What was actually said-and writ
ten by Holyos-at the time is shown
by the original draft OF the proceed
ings in which the last sentence
quoted read:
Made Impossible Demands.
Sand that therefore wholly un-
acceptable demands ought TO be
presented to Serbia. in order that
it would be certain to come to wal"
The alteration, as we'll as others
given in the protocol of this coun-
Gil, were made in Berchtold's hand
writing. DR.. Coos draws attention
to the fact that this protocol was
not submitted to Emperor Franz
Josef for his information and sigma
ture until August 16, when war had
been raging for two weeks.
The assumption is that in view of
the kaiseI's personal letter to Franz
Joseph that he, Wilhelm, must re-
frain from taking a position pend
ing the question between Austria
and Serbia, Berchtold could not sub
nit the protocol of the ministerial
council--in which he is quoted as
telling of Germany's assurance of
unqualified support of IAustria-un-
til the situation were far enough
along to make retreat impossible.

DR.. Coos sums up his comment
on the council proceedings in this
way:

decision was taken which pointed

of the Austro-Serbian conflict"

Especial Cable Dispstch.)
Berlin, Sept. 2o.-The initiative
in the world war was taken at a
council Of the Austro- Hungarian
minister July 7, 1914, not by the
famous but questionable Potsdam
council Of July 5. The Austro-
Hungarian council was presided
OVER by Count Won Brechtold, then
the late Emperor Francis Joseph's
foreign minister.
Deliberately Started War.
Brechtold, deliberately and avow-
edly steered the Hapsburg empire
and the world--into war after the
assassination at Sarajevo of the
Austrian heir-apparent, Archduke
Francis Ferdinand.
These and other sensational facts
are contained in a new Austrian Of
fetal "fed book" first given out at
Vienna and comprising hitherto I'M
published documents covering the
fateful period from the end of June
to the beginning of August, 1914.
Deceived Aged Emperor.
Count Won Berchtold, by sup
pressing or withholding informa-
ton, endeavored to deceive his own
emperor and keep the Berlin gov
eminent completely in the dark as
to his, Berchtold's, real intentions
and his determination to bring about
the war.
Count Tisza, the assassinaied
Hungarian premier, I characterized
Kaiser Wilhelm as "pro-Serbian"
and warned Berchtold against "mak-
ing Berlin shy" with his war plans.
Innocent ~ Berlin.
Berlin, on the other hand, COM
planned bitterly over Berchtold's
withholding his program of action"
from the German government.
Vienna did not give Berlin the
text of the Austrian ultimatum to
Serbia 1.-THE direct cause of the war;
until it was too late for Germany to
intervene, the Austrian red book"
shows.
\ Kaiser Wilhelm, in personal let

against Russia when necessary
was it possible, for purposes of
intimidating Roumania, to hold a
large number of troops in Transyl-
vania?
where would the conflict against
Russia be taken up!"
General Won Hoetzendorff made
confidential answers to those ques-
tons requesting that they not be
recorded.
Combating Count Tisza's op-
position, Berchto1d kept using as
his main argument, Germany's al
legged unqualified support. That
Berchtold had already informed
Tisza of his war intentions, even
before the council, is clear from
Tisza's letter to the emperor July
!, 1914, in which he states he could
not approve of Berchtold's inten-
tons Of making use Of the Sarajevo
atrocity as an occasion to Settle
with Serbia" Tisza further tells
Franz Joseph in that letter that he,
Tisza, had not concealed from
Berchtold that he considered it a
fatal mistake, the responsibility for
which Tisza declined to share; that
there was insufficient ground for
provoking war despite possibly
satisfactory declaration from Ser
bia.
Warned the Emperor.
Tisza warned the. emperor that
the Austrian statesmen would stand
before the whole world as deliber-
ately breaking the peace of the
world, if Berchtold's plans went
through, and that Austria would
necessarily embark upon such a war
in the most unfavorable circuml
stances.
Tisza then asked permission to
seize the opportunity of the kaiser's
visit to Vienna (then expected bat
later cancelled) to combat Wilhelm's
"pro-Serbian prepossession." The
kaiser's visit for the purpose of at
tending the funeral of the murdered
archduke was prevented at the
eleventh hour and thus it was inn
possible for the two emperors to
have personal discussion.
Held Text from Berlin.
The text of the Austrian ultima
tum to Serbia was agreed upon at
second ministerial council July 10.
Count Tisza had consented to itonly
after STIMULATING the condition of
unanimous declaration that there
was no intention of conquering Ser
bia.
This ultimatum was delivered at
Belgrade July q, but Berchtold in
structed the Austrian ambassador at
Berlin not to deliver the text to the
Berlin government until the fore
noon of the following day, when it
would also be handed to the other
powers.
When the Austrian ambassador at
Berlin first heard of the ultimatum
he urged upon Berchtold that the
Berlin cabinet ought to be made cog
infant of its text before the other
powers.
This was July II. The ambassa-
dor supported remark ne attrib-
uted to Won Jagow (then German
foreign minister) to the effect that
Germany, as an ally, could expect to
be advised of the contents Of the ul
timatum earlier than the other pow
ers. The ambassador added to this
communication to his foreign min
lister that he, was awaiting authorize
ton to give the German government
the text Immediately. Won Jagow
had heard about the ultimatum from
the German ambassador at Vienna,
but tried vainly to ascertain the text.
Berlin Knew Nothing.
Berchtold, July %, replied to the
Austrian ambassador at Berlin that
the official delivery of the ultima
tum's text must be made at the same
time to all powers, but that the Ger,
man ambassador at Vienna had been
Omaha daily bee., 1919-09-28

conhdentially advised Of it on the
2lst.
DR.. Coos comments on this tina,
it proves Berlin did not participate
in the framing Of the Austro- Hun
garian ultimatum to Serbia.
The singular role played by Coun,
Berchtoid is shown BY his statemen,
to the Russian charge d'affaires on
July "a:
Nothing is further from Vienna
intentions than the desire to hu-
initiate Serbia. The Austrian cabi-
net has not the slightest interest in
doing So" He also assured the
Russian diplomat Of his endeavor
fnot to put anything in the note to
Serbia that might create the impress
sion that Austria wished to hunil-
late Serbia.
Relations Severed.
Then, on the afternoon of July rs,
Berchtold officially told Berlin,
through the Austrian ambassador
there, that Serbia had refused Aus
tria's demands, and that diplomatic
relations had been severed. He
gave no details. Not until the Ger
man ambassador at Vienna request
ed to see the text of the Serbian an
swer was it given Berlin. At the
same time the Austrian ambassador
at Berlin had wired to his govern
ment that Won Jagow wanted to see
the text of Serbia's answer in order
to prove the incorrectness of Eng
lish claims that Serbia had granted
the principal demands of the Vienna
government. Emperor William re-
ceived the Serbian text on the morn
ing of the 18th, and this is what he
wrote on the margin as his personal
comment:
"A BRILLIANT accomplishment for
the time limit. of 48 hours; a great
moral success for Vienna. With
this every cause for war is removed
and Giesel (Giesel Won Gieslingen,
Austrian ambassador at Belgrade)
should have remained quietly Nat
Belgrade. Upon this | would re-
serve (reverse?) the ordered mobili-
cation"
Among the causes cited by Berch-
told of Emperor Franz Joseph as mo-
tivating the declaration of war was
the claim that Serbian troops had
fired on Austro-Hungarian troops
at Temeskudin. When he received
the emperor's approval of war, he
informed him that there was no
confirmation of this firing but he
eliminated lthis paragraph from the
declaration presumably there was
a paragraph in the Austrian declara-
ton of war based upon this alleged
firing by the Serbians which Berch-
told seems to have known was fic-
tion).
Berlin Wanted Mediation.
"The documents further show
that. contrary to the general belief
while Berlin rejected Sir (now
Lord) Edward Grey's proposal for
a conference, the German govern
ment strongly supported the British
suggestion that the Austrians sus-
pend hostilities after taking Bel
grade and other points and then
accept mediation.
They also develop that Berlin
told the truth when it informed the
British ambassador that Vienna had
not replied to London's latest pro-
posals which Berlin had promptly
forwarded to the Austrian govern
ment. Indeed, there is no record
showing whether Vienna ever an
swered these proposals, despite re-
peatedSinquiries from Berlin.
The proceedings of the Vienna
council Of July 7 show that Count
Tisza warned that the entire Bal
kans, except Bulgaria, could be in
cluded in Austria's enemies in case
of war. He expressed himself for
unqualified demands to Serbia, but
