roniewski, like myself, has heard the rumor that Austria,
while declaring that she did not desire an annexation of
territory, would occupy parts of Serbia until she had received
complete satisfaction. 'One knows,' he said to me, 'what this

had sent his Government's request of an extension of the time limit
for the Serbian reply to Count Berchtold, the Austro-Hungarian

Marquis di San Giuliano.

M. Jules Cambon, French Ambassador at Berlin, notified M.
Bienvenu-Martin that report had come from Vienna of rupture between

"Large crowds consisting of several hundred persons are
collecting here before the newspaper offices and a demonstration
of numbers of young people has just passed through the
Pariser-platz shouting cries of 'Hurrah' for Germany, and singing
patriotic songs. The demonstrators are visiting the _Siegessauel_
[column of victory], the Austrian and then the Italian Embassy.
It is a significant outburst of chauvinism....

"In financial circles measures are already being taken to meet
every eventuality, for no means of averting
