unmistakable:

"1. To institute a criminal procedure against the participants in
the outrage.

"2. Participation by Imperial and Royal Government officials in
the examinations ('recherche' in contrast with 'enquete
judiciaire').

"3. It did not occur to us to let Imperial and Royal Government
officials participate in the Serbian court procedure; they were
to cooperate only in the police researches which had to furnish
and fix the material for the investigation.

"If the Serbian Government misunderstands us here, this is done
deliberately, for it must be familiar with the difference between
'enquete judiciaire' and simple police researches. As it desired
to escape from every control of the investigation which would
yield, if correctly carried out, highly undesirable results for
it, and as it possesses no means to refuse in a plausible manner
the cooperation of our officials (precedents for such police
intervention exist in great numbers) it tries to justify its
refusal by showing up our demands as impossible.

"(In reference to arrest of conspirators).

"7. This reply is disingenuous. According to our investigation,
Ciganowic, by order of the police prefect in Belgrade, left three
days after the outrage for Ribari, after it had become known that
Ciganowic had participated in the outrage. In the first place, it
is therefore incorrect that Ciganowic left the Serbian service on
June 28. In the second place, we add that the prefect of police
at Belgrade, who had himself caused the departure of this
Ciganowic and who knew his whereabout, declared in an interview
that a man by the name of Milan Ciganowic did not exist in
Belgrade.

"9. (In reference to expressions made against Austria-Hungary by
Serbian officials in interviews.)

"The Royal Serbian Government must be aware of the interviews in
question. If it demands of the Imperial and Royal Government that
it should furnish all kinds of detail about the said interviews
and if it reserves for itself the right of a formal
investigation, it shows that it is not its intention seriously to
fulfill the demand.

"10. (In reference to referring the dispute to arbitration of the
powers.)

"The Serbian Note, therefore, is entirely a play for time."
