100 years ago today: the ‘Sarajevo Crime’ reports from Vienna
continue. The Emperor “has consented to
a diplomatic step… which will not assume the force of interference in Servia’s
sovereign right.” “Austria-Hungary
wishes for peace with Servia but not peace at any price.” A momentous meeting of the Ulster Unionist
Council is taking place and a statement has been issued quoting the
constitution of the Provisional Government which states that Ulster “cannot rightfully
be forced into subjection of an Irish Nationalist Government” and “will resist
the claim of any such Irish Government to exercise powers affecting our
liberties and rights.”
