An interesting article in yesterday’s Times saying that Austria was in such a terrible state of internal chaos that the only hope for her was an external war. One wonders if the murder of Archduke was brought about by Austria & Germany, merely to make an excuse for war.
In afternoon Father & I went to Lamerton. I saw Mrs F Morshead, & then went on to Landue for tea. Saw John, Edgar, Sophie Grace & Mrs Tregoning, also Mrs Cardwell.
Edgar had volunteered but has been refused, on account of health & so until he returns to his school in Bournemouth he is rushing about in his little car helping with recruits.
