Evening: Mensdorff gives message from Vienna to British

Evening: Mensdorff gives message from Vienna to British Foreign Office. It says the note to Serbia is not an “ultimatum” but a demarche with a time limit. If it is rejected, Austria-Hungary will break off relations and begin military preparations, though not military operations. This seems to give time for diplomacy to work.
