this country showed that Germany approved Austria's ultimatum to Serbia which started the war. apparently believing that war would be a good thing for

i the dual monarchy. The action against Serbia, the report shows, was carefully deliberated upon by Germany. The Bavarian government revolting against the domination of Prussia and charging the kaiser's group with deliberately inciting war published officially a summary of a report from Larchenfeld. the Bavaria nminister to Berlin, wherein it stated that he Informed his government on July IS, 1314, of the plot against peace. On that day he also stated that the ultimatum to Serbia was held up until Fresident Poincare and II. Vivlani were on their way back from St. Petersburg. In summarizing the note he declared Serbia could not accept the exigencies which are irreconcilable with her dignity as an independent state. LATEST NEWS Bclletin. TBt I'niteo Press.
