100 years ago today: the Ulster crisis continues with an
ultimatum being issued by Ulster to the Government calling for exclusion from
Home Rule or civil war. The famous
Russian monk Rasputin has been stabbed by a woman and is reportedly “lying at
death’s door”. A telegram has reported
his death although this is unconfirmed.
There is growing concern regarding the Sarajevo crisis: “The position in
which Austria-Hungary has been placed by Servia may finally become untenable
even for a Great Power” and it is urged that other countries do not lend their
encouragement to the heated passions in Belgrade.
