Line 6:
*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.<ref>British Government was offered assurances by Germany that, provided British neutrality was certain, no territorial acquisitions would be taken from France (in the event of a victorious war), but no undertakings could be given with regard to the French Colonies. Dutch neutrality was to be recognised; Belgium to be conditional on military necessity, but after the war, if Belgium did not side against Germany, her integrity would be respected.</ref>
*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]]).
