Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Times Documentary History of the War, Vol. 8 Russia has ordered mobilisation Of her entire army and fleet, therefore also against us, in Spite of our still pending mediation, and although we ourselves have taken no measures of mobilisation. We have therefore declared the state of danger Of war, which is bound to be followed by mobilisation unless Russia stops within twelve hours all measures of war against us and Austria. Mobilisation inevitably implies war. Please ask French Government whether it intends to remain neutral in a russo-german war. Reply must follow within eighteen hours. Wire at once hour of inquiry. Utmost Speed necessary. If, contrary to expectation, French Government declares that it will remain neutral, your Excellency will please de clare to the French Government that we must demand as guarantee of neutrality the handing over of the fortresses Of Toul and Verdun, which We Should occupy, and hand back Oh the conclusion of the war with Russia.
