As Austria, the official head of the German Confederation, could not allow Prussia to act alone in such an important matter, the Habsburg troops were mobilised too and the combined armies of the two great powers crossed the Danish frontiers and after a very brave resistance on the part of the Danes, occupied the two duchies.
The clergy was mobilised to encourage the people. On January 29th I sent the following despatch, after attending the impressive services in the Berlin Cathedral: "Where one year ago Dr.
One day I went to the Foreign Office and told one of the officials I believed that if the American people knew what a difficult time the Foreign Office was having in trying to win out over the Admiralty that public opinion in the United States might be mobilised to help the Foreign Office against the Admiralty. I took with me a brief despatch which I asked him to pass.
It doesn't cost much after all, and it makes us better friends with the great European family. We're now as thick as thieves." "Where does the Imperial Guard come in in all this gorgeousness?" I asked. "You're unusual modest about yourselves." "As a matter of fact, we're supposed to go out and stay out. We're the permanently mobilised lot.
His eyes, deep set, ugly, sunken, glared angrily into hers. "It is your fault that I am mobilised." She sat still, rather bewildered, gazing at him steadily. "You wished it!" he began again, "You coward! You trembling coward!" Still Madame Maubert made no sign, waiting further explanations.

The Russian Government never dared to tell the Russian peasant the number of Russian souls who were mutilated by high explosives and smothered in the cold Masurian marshes in that sublime effort to save her friends.
Thus at a preconcerted signal, by trumpet and bonfires at night, and in some districts by a salvo of rifles, the whole Montenegrin Army can be mobilised at any given spot within the time that the furthest detachment can travel to the place of rendezvous.
As for the starlings, I daresay you will notice their absence; they are under the jurisdiction of the rooks, and loyal as their masters; the reason they are not here is because they are already mobilised and have taken the field; they were despatched in all haste very early this morning, before you were awake, Bevis dear, to occupy the slope from whence the peewits fled.
No fear now, that as at Loos, as at Neuve Chapelle, and as on a thousand other smaller occasions, British success in the field should be crippled and stopped by shortage of gun and shell! By whom has this result been brought about? By that army of British workmen and workwomen which Mr. Lloyd George in little more than one short year has mobilised throughout the country.
