100 years ago today: Belgrade has been bombarded overnight
and shelling has caused great damage in several quarters of the city. Russia
has partially mobilised her armies and it seems likely that Germany and France
will follow suit. At present no
mobilisation of British forces has taken place according to a statement from
the War Office. The Government is
reported to be using its “last ounce of weight in the European political scales”
to try to “localise the conflict and restrict its results”. It seems that each
nation is preparing for arms and waiting to see what the others do.
