[Footnote 77:  Although the German White Book attempts to make out that Russia mobilized on July 26th, it produces no evidence more satisfactory than the information of the German Imperial attache in Russia, whose account of the Russian military preparations supports only in part the allegations made at Berlin.  See German White Book, Exhibits 6 and 7; also Correspondence, No. 78, Sir G. Buchanan to Sir E. Grey, July 29.  For the Austrian decree of general mobilization, see the Russian Orange Book No. 47 (infra in Appendix VI).]
