When I said to Crawshaw that it looked as if he was going away for the week end, Crawshaw said that perhaps he was taking Saturday to Monday off to run over to talk to the Kaiser and old Franz Josef about the Sarajevo business, and he might telephone to the Czar about it because he's intimate with them all, and the whole lot seem to be getting mixed up in the thing and writing letters and sending secret telegrams.

It seems to be turning out, as Crawshaw said it would, into a nice mess for Servia.

Austria is making it out that the assassination really was committed to stir up trouble, and says it wasn't done just by a crazy anarchist, but by a secret society working for its own ends.

Crawshaw came in to supper and we talked it all over.

Harriet gave us cold beef and pickled onions and beer, and we looked at the maps in the old geography again.
