Fred Spies writes from this city about a sea change as Austria declares war on Serbia and Germany mobilizes. He recalls the tense days before and after mobilization, the guard of railroads and tunnels, the mass announcements, and the emotional farewells as men leave for war while families seek courage at church and in daily life.
