*[[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>
