Council at Tsarskoe-Selo Discusses War Prospects
June 7 report from Tsarskoe-Selo lists ministers and generals at a council that again debated Russia’s internal position and war prospects. The meeting yielded no definite war pronouncement, fueling belief peace talks may still be possible if the Czar initiates negotiations. American mediation rumors drew attention but lack foundation. Germany’s role in press activity and Delcassé’s resignation are noted amid rising suspicion.
