100 years ago today: Russia has declared a general
mobilisation of her army and navy and as a result martial law has been declared
in Germany. Whilst there has been no
official announcement of mobilisation in Germany, it is believed that Germany
and France are preparing to mobilise, and a general mobilisation has been
ordered in Belgium, Switzerland and Holland.
There is a report that the Russians have blown up a railway bridge in
Austria although this is unconfirmed and German troops have been observed on French
border. The London Stock Exchange has
closed and the bank rate has doubled.
