INCLOSURE

"The investigation carried on against Gabrilo Princip and
accomplices in the court of Sarajevo, on account of the
assassination on June 28, has so far yielded the following
results:

"'1. The plan to murder Archduke Franz Ferdinand during his stay
in Sarajevo was conceived in Belgrade by Gabrilo Princip,
Nedeljko, Gabrinowic, and a certain Milan Ciganowic and Trifko
Grabez, with the aid of Major Voja Tankosic.

"'2. The six bombs and four Browning pistols which were used by
the criminals were obtained by Milan Ciganowic and Major
Tankosic, and presented to Princip Gabrinowic in Belgrade.

"'3. The bombs are hand grenades, manufactured at the arsenal of

instructions in shooting with Browning pistols to Princip Grabez
in a forest near the target practice field of Topshider (outside
Belgrade).

"'5. In order to enable the crossing of the frontier of Bosnia
and Herzegovina by Princip Gabrinowic and Grabez, and the
smuggling of their arms, a secret system of transportation was
organized by Ciganowic. The entry of the criminals with their
arms into Bosnia and Herzegovina was effected by the frontier
captains of Shabatz (Rade Popowic) and of Loznica, as well as by
the custom-house official Rudivoy Grbic of Loznica with the aid
of several other persons.'"

1914, Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, the German Chancellor, wrote a
circular letter to the German Ambassadors at Paris, London, and St.
Petersburg, embodying and enforcing the Austro-Hungarian arguments
justifying the note. These the ambassadors were instructed to
present to the Foreign Offices of the countries to which they were
accredited. The chancellor commended the self-restraint of
Austria-Hungary in thus far avoiding war with Serbia. Now, however,
he feared that Serbia would not comply with the just demands of the
country she had injured, but would adopt "a provocative attitude

"Nothing would remain for the Austro-Hungarian Government, unless
it renounced definitely its position as a
