the Marne. Before the end of the month, too, the Germans were to smash an entire wing of the Rus. sian army when the Kaiser's Army of the East, led by linden burgh and Ludendorff, defeated the CSar's Army of the West un- der 5amsonov at Tannenberg in East Prussia. Samsonov om- mitted suicide in disgrace, and one of the Russian armies under Rennenkampf fled from the bat. tlefield in complete rout.
 Peace Efforts Failed
 Hostilities were rurshed exactly month after Sarajevo murders, but during that month diplomats had sought to prevent war, but when they saw that was hopeless they spent several weeks tighten ing alliances and double checking with other chancelleries that all their allies intended to fulfill their obligations
 All through July, 1914, Rene Viviani, French premier and for- ein minister, sounded Vienna, Berlin, St, Petersburg, London, Rome, Madrid and other chancel- leries, hunting means of pacific understanding. He tried without success to get statement from Lord Grey, whether Britain would enter the war on Frances side. Raymond Poincare, French pres- ident, took q French warship through the Baltic to St. Peters, burg to check up personally with the Czar and the Russian govern ment. Satisfied that Russia would fulfill her pact, Poincare started back to Paris, but was still at sea when the war started and the German armies invaded France.
 The French government irnn1e- diately ran into a snag in its ali. ance with Russia. Under that al- lance, the two general staffs had worked out in minute detail c coordinated plan of operations. In the event of war involving Ger. many, Russia was to attack East Prussia. France realized Germany was too powerful to hold off in Q direct engagement unless Russia could force the German general staff to divide It's strength and keep a great army in the east.
 Czar Slow To Act
 But in those hectic days of late July and early August, France had to put considerable pressure on Russia to oblige the Csar's armies to follow out the general staff plan In the sequence of developments following the Austrian ultimatum to Serbia, Russia had threatened tc robilize in defense of the Serbs. Germany notified France that if Russia mobilized against Austria Hungary, Germany would mobilize.
