===Precursor to British Declaration of War===
*Russia says as Austria will not consent to interchange of view, Great Britain must take initiative; but she cannot let Austria get ahead of her, and has decided therefore to mobilise Southern Corps on Austrian frontier.
*Russia officially informed by Germany (but not as a threat) that partial (Russian) mobilisation must be followed by war with Germany. Russia therefore decides on general mobilisation.<ref>''The Russian mobilisation of July 29th and [[30 July|July 30th]] as evidence by the "Sukhomlinov Revelations"'' (September 1917) – The action of the German Government who, whist they supported Austria in her attack on Serbia, refused the right to Russia to make any military preparations, inevitably drove Russia to mobilise against Germany as well as against Austria.</ref>
*Great Britain again pressed Germany again ''re'' mediation, but warns her that she (Great Britain) could not stand aside in all circumstances.
*Council at Potsdam.
*Germany makes out that she may not be able to prevent Austria going too far: makes "infamous offer" that if Great Britain would remain neutral Germany would annex no French territory.
*Austrians bombard Belgrade in afternoon.
*Unsuccessful Austrian attempt to cross Danube between Belgrade and Gradishte (the first of 18 vain efforts prior to [[12 August]]).
*MM. Poincaré and Viviani reach Paris.
*German patrols cross French frontier. Extensive German and Austrian preparations.
*Tsar tries to stop general Russian mobilisation 11 p.m.
