To the Austro-Hungarian Government the Russian Minister sent a message, on the same day, July 24, that the time-limit allowed to Servia for her reply was quite insufficient, if the Powers were to help in smoothing the situation; and he urged that Austria-Hungary should publish the proofs of the charges against Servia.
'As far as I can gather, he said, coughing above the spirit, 'you call it decay of the optic nerve, or something, and therefore hopeless. What is my time-limit, avoiding all strain and worry? 'Perhaps one year. 'My God! And if I don't take care of myself? 'I really could not say. One cannot ascertain the exact amount of injury inflicted by the sword-cut.
It gave them a time-limit of twenty-four hours in which to effect the complete police evacuation of the coveted strip of territory on the ground that the delay in the signature of a formal Protocol had been wilful and deliberate and had closed the door to further negotiations; and as no response came at the end of the time-limit, an open invasion of Chinese territory was practised by an armed French detachment; nine uniformed Chinese constables on duty being forcibly removed and locked up in French barracks and French sentries posted on the disputed boundary.
The work, on the contrary, was continued with greater haste and care for four hours after the time-limit which I had written to his Grace, saying that if the work were not destroyed I should consider myself as answered.
It may be true, as the Austrian Ambassador explained, that the Austro-Hungarian Government did not intend this step to be regarded as an ultimatum, but as a démarche with a time-limit. In this extraordinary document the Austro-Hungarian Government demanded:
The test, however, which he now put forward was whether or not the proposals satisfied Ulster: and he fixed upon the time-limit of six years as being wholly unacceptable.
They will do what they have thus far agreed to do, but if any technical hitch arises, such as a failure to sign within the time-limit, they will decline to renew negotiations. That was all we could get from them, but it is enough now." "And for other ships," said Alcatrante, "the commission shall be five hundred thousand." "Five hundred thousand. Seven hundred and fifty was too much."
They seemed very cheap, and the time-limit was generous, and San Jose was not very far from San Francisco, the place named in the advertisement; and if he could only see the girl and explain It would be another month before he would be able to work, anyway, and A man might as well get rid of a hundred or so travelling, as to sit in a poker game and watch it fade away, and he would really get more out of it.
"A good dinner," interpolated Raikes, softly. "A good dinner," said Jimmy. "Very well. How long do you give me, Arthur?" "How long do you want?" "There ought to be a time-limit," said Raikes. "It seems to me that a flyer like Jimmy ought to be able to manage it at short notice. Why not tonight? Nice, fine night. If Jimmy doesn't crack a crib tonight, it's up to him. That suit you, Jimmy?"
Nevertheless, it is possible on the other hand that Wilson will make redoubled efforts for peace, if a time-limit be allowed. I should like to leave no stone unturned in order to avert war with United States. As I understand the situation, our refusal to submit our peace terms arises out of the fear that they may appear too moderate to public opinion in Germany.
