in Berlin who. two weeks before the
Germanys diabolical plan in all its
details. The document demonstrates
how an ambition can bring about the
death Of millions of men:
The step upon which the cabinet of
Vienna has decided at Belgrade aud
which will consist of the sending Of a
note will be takcn on the 18th inst.
The postponemnt of this action to
that date is explained by the wish to
await the departure Of NJ. Poincare
and Viviani from St Petersburg. in
order to make it more difficult for
the powers Of the entente to agree
upon counter proposal.
Until then pacific sentiments will be
stimulated at Vienna and to this end
the minister of war and the chief of
the general staff will both be given
leave Of absence at the same time.
An effacious action has. on the
other hand. been exercised on the
newspapers and on the stock ex-
change.
Acted Skiiifu;Iy
It is recognized in Berlin that the
Austro Hungarian government has act
ed skillfully. The only complaint made
is that Count Tia who was probably
at first opposed to strong methods
has partly disclosed the plan in his
speech to the chamber.
And after summarizing the terms of
the ultimatum to be sent to Serbia.
the Bavaran minister adds:
For the acceptance of these demands
q delay of forty-cight hours will be
granted.
II is clear that Serbia cannot accept
these demands which are incompatible
with her dignity as sovereign state.
The consequence will therefore be war.
In Berlin they are altogether of the
opinion that Austria should take ad
vantage of the favorable moment even
if there is danger of Interior compli
cations.
They believe that Austria's hour of
destiny has struck and in consequence
to the question presented by the Aus
tro- Hungarian government they re-
piled without hesitation that they
agreed upon any action which the lat
ter may decide upon, even if war
with Russia is to result.
Bismarck, on a like occasion. had
forged the telegram from Ems-child's
play compared to this. Furthermore
it is not the end, and for the carrying
out of the plan we shall see repro
duced the same trickery which marked
its preparation. France, to avoid
any incident. has withdrawn it's 'front.'
Ter forces ten kilometers from the
border. Germany, on the first and
second of August, before any declara-
tion of war. takes advantage of this
to violate French and Belgian terri
tory as she had already violated the
territory Of Luxembourg. To justify
her action she accuses French aviators
Of having thrown bombs on the rail-
road near Nuremberg. On April 3.
1916, the municipal authorities of that
city, in accord with the district mill
tary authorities. will declare that all
reports published on this subject are
'manifestly false" and three years

tossing the lie in turn, will merely ex-
press the regret that Germany. in

Germans Eager
The armies are in contact. I have
shown France patient and without
'ault, Germany, eager for the fray,
prepared to herald the dawn of blood.
All Germany, on August =, 1914, is
ip and ready for the work of death.
The imperial chancellor - mediocre
