100 years ago today: Luxemburg, a neutral state, has been
invaded by Germany and its railways have been seized. France has also been invaded at two points by
Germany without any formal declaration of war having been made and the French
army is now being mobilised. The Germans
have also taken possession of Arlon in Belgium, thus also violating Belgian
neutrality, and have seized two British steamers in the Kiel canal. The British navy has been mobilised and
placed on a war footing with reserves having been called up and this news has
resulted in cheering crowds at Buckingham Palace.
