Excerpt from Liberty! A Statement of the British Case

Servia, and demanded an answer for the next day, but one, 25th. This ultimatum (as to which Sir Edward Grey, the Brit ish Foreign Secretary, said that he had never before seen one state address to an other independent state a document of so formidable a character) prescribed under ten heads exactly What Servia was to do if she wished to survive. The sixth head laid it down that the Austrian Govern ment was to take part in a criminal trial of accessories to the archducal murder under Servian justice at Belgrade.

The Viennese press of the 25th July showed that Vienna neither desired nor expected Servia to bow to the ultimatum. Servia did bow to the whole of the ulti matum except the sixth head, and at the end of her reply she offered, if Austria was not satisfied, to arbitrate at the Hague. Sir Edward Grey considered the Servian Reply so ab J ect that it in volved the greatest humiliation to Servia that he had ever seen a country undergo.
