100 years ago today: Austria-Hungary has declared war on
Servia due to Servia’s unsatisfactory response to the Note presented to her. “The event which all the world dreaded is
today realised”. Both Germany and
Austria-Hungary have declined to participate in Sir Edward Grey’s proposed
conference which appeared to have been supported by France and Italy. It is hoped that if Austria is contented with
just the occupation of Belgrade then perhaps the Russians will not declare war;
however if Austria continues her assault upon Servia, then “Russia must and
will intervene”. The German naval fleet has been ordered to return.
