ton of the Austrian arctduke, at
Sarajevo, wrote now or never on
the margin Of note sert by the
German ambassador at Vienna tell
ing of the feeling there that there
must be reckoning with Serbia.
lettings on the margins of these
documents in the war lords own
handwriting, show how he planned
and ordered the mobilization of
Germany's naval and military forces
to prepare for the coming of war,
and berated the Civilian chancellor"
for not comprehending the idea of
his movements.
The kaiser personally was with
the German fleet and viciously re-
buked his chancellor for questioning
his actions with the navy.
Declared England Modified.
The chancellor's message said the
British navy was not taking any un-
usual measures contrary to the
carrying out of dispersal after the
maneuvers. On this the kaiser COM
mented the British navy had no need
of taking extraordinary measures,
since it was ready for war and
modified. .#
The chancellor urged that since
Sir Edward Grey, for the moment
anyway, had not prepared to inter-
vene in European war, the kaiser
might be well advised not to give
any premature orders for the return
of the fleet. The kaiser remarked:
IF Russia mobiles, my feet
must already be in the Baltic-so
it's going home"

Berlin.

counts message ran, Informed me
in strict confidence very emphat-
iea1ly that during the next few days
proposals on the part OF
England might perhaps be commu-
ricated to your excellency by the
German government in connection
with which the latter offered the abb
solutely unqualified assurance that it
did not identify itself with such pro-
posals but that, on the contrary, it
was decidedly opposed to their con-
sideration and that it would trans
nit them merely to conform with
the English request"

Count Berchtold sent this mem
to the Austrian emperor at
Bad Ischl. with draft of the pro-
posed declaration of war in which
specific references were made to
acts of hostility by Serbian troops
near Temeskubie, on the Danube.
On the morning of July %, the
Serbian reply was communicated to
the kaiser at Neues Palais in Pots
dam, and upon his copy of this doc
ument he wrote:
A brilliant performance for a
time limit of 48 hours. This is more
than could be expected--a great
success for Vienna. Herewith every
ground for war disappears and

Belgrade. 1t would never have or
