ON THE EVE OF WAR [chap. xvr.
This happened on Wednesday, the 22nd July ; on the
evening of the following day, the evening papers brought
the first news of an Austrian ultimatum to Serbia, and
on the Saturday morning, a few hours before M. Poincare s
arrival, appeared the text itself of this ultimatum which
was unexpected and of unheard-of violence. The tragic
week was beginning; the week in which the future
destinies of the world were at stake, and in which the
world-war was decided, which in its turn brought about
the terrible shipwreck of my unfortunate country!
