ely as "possible"; evidently it would have appeared as
a great condescension on the part of the Government at Belgrade if it,
standing on the same basis as Austria-Hungary, would appear before a
European tribunal! For us there is no additional proof necessary that a
mediation conference, which for Austria was not acceptable even when

[04] The book, which appeared at Oxford, "Why We Are at War," mentioned
previously states on Page 27 (retranslation):
That such a plan [the marching through Luxemburg and Belgium] had
been taken into consideration by the Germans has been known in
England generally for several years; and it has also been generally
accepted that the attempt to carry out this plan would bring about
the active resistance of the British armed forces: one assumed that
these would be given the task of assisting the left wing of the
French, which would have to resist German advance from Belgian
territory.
