Germany tried TO prevent such a

made the war Impossible TO avoid.
In practically every case William
gives the day OF the month and the
year Of the events he recorde. Not
infreuuently in tho tense last days
OF July and the first day OF August
1914. he gives the hour OF the day.
IL is significant however. that he
says nothing OF tho German mobili-
cation or Invasion of Belgium, al
though he asserts that the German
ambassador IN London asked sir
Edward Grey, then BrltIsh secretary

Britain would remain neutral IL
