The first dispatch is dated July 20. -It recoods a con- versation between Sir Edward Grey and 'the Getman Ambassador in London, who being asked whether he had any news ef what was going on in Vienna with regard to Servia, merely replied that `..fhe regarded the situation as very uncomfort- able." Sir Edward remarked that he had heard nothing, except indi- rectly that the Austriae . Foreign Minister had "depre,coted the sug- gestion that the situation was* grave,,, but had seicl thateits should be 'cleared en." Sir Edward added that he "aesurned that the Austrian Government would not do apything until they had first disoloeed tor the public thole case against Sexy* founded, presumably, upon what they had die -covered" (at the trial of the Sarajevo murderers). The Ger- man Ambassador promptly took the cue, saying he certainly assumed that they "would act upon some case that would. be made known," Three days later, with the know- ledge of. Germany alone the Aus- trian Government, which ' had so waionly deprecated the notion that the situation was "givere," flung its ultimatum at Servia-an ultimatum unpaaalelled in the history of diplo- macy. As Sir Edward Grey said on the following day, JI hays never before seen one State address fo an- other independent State a document of so formidable ao*character"- and, be it added, rendered, doubly fornidabis basniiiiatoty olearstiat for an answer. viiiibhin batty eight "Pa," saia the sulafit aeolen1 alter knowledge, "what is a. kiss 7" "A- kias, my son," acrid the lather, "is „ne,thiress divided !by iwo,".
