Berlin Note Drawn by German Leaders in Austria Move
Berne reports that Austria sent a note to America drafted by Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg and Foreign Minister von Jagow to show that Austria also risks breaking with the United States if it breaks with Germany. The aim is to signal America that breaking with Germany implies breaking with Austria-Hungary and Turkey. In Belgrade circles no tangible result is expected. Also, Roumania’s refusal to allow German war material to Turkey is noted as a factor. Later, Botha proclaims martial law after taking German Southwest Africa in the name of Britain.
