sThe effective. operative cause of the

ia1A was the surrender Of Germany to
ismarckism and thBe failure of its
neople to take the control of military
and foreign policy out Of the hands of
the Kaiser, his court, his officers and
his diplomats But what was that
finally swept all Europe headlong into
war? 1t was the military timetable.
No sooner did Austria Hungary begin
to mobilize in support of the ultimatum
than the Russian general staff felt
bound to do the same in order not to
be caught at disadvantage if the
struggle spread. No sooner did Russia
begin to mobilize than Germany did
the same, for the whole plan Of the
German general staff TO win a Euro
pean war depended upon the capacity
Of the German army to mobilize few
days faster than the French and to
crus hit before the Russians could take
the field. Hence the frantic kilograms
Of the Kaiser to the Car imploring and
commanding him to countermand the
mobilization, for he realized, when it
was too late, where things were hurry

Trapped by Circumstances
4He knew and his advisers knew
that IL that mobilization continued
they would be faced with the alterna-
tive between immediate war according
to plan and allowing q situation to
develop which in their Judgment meant
failure for Germany in a general war
But the Gar would not countermand
unless Austria Hungary countermand-
ed. And for Vienna to countermand
mobilization meant an abject humilia-
ton for the Central Powers far worse
than that of Agadir.
SO while kilograms flashed and Sir
Edward Grey's proposal for confer
eaees was on the wires the fateful
minutes passed, one after another the
nations modified, the situation drifted
steadily out of control until finally
The German general staff insisted or

stlalgntest road to victory and the
only alternative TO defeat, and Europe
