Note 4 — APPENDIX I
Reading edition
In the copy of this Austro-Hungarian note communicated by Count Szecsen, Austro-Hungarian Ambassador at Paris, to the French Foreign Office, the hour named for the reply is 5 o'clock, and the following explanation is appended in the French Yellow-book (Y. 24):
'The Austro-Hungarian Ambassador, in a private letter on the 24th July, sent to the Minister for Foreign Affairs the following correction:
'"In the copy of the despatch which I had the honour to send to your Excellency this morning, it was said that my Government expected an answer from the Cabinet at Belgrade at latest by 5 o'clock on the evening of Saturday the 25th of this month. As our Minister at Belgrade did not deliver his note yesterday until 6 o'clock in the evening, the time allowed for the answer has in consequence been prolonged to 6 o'clock to-morrow, Saturday evening.
'"I consider it my duty to inform your Excellency of this slight alteration in the termination of the period fixed for the answer of the Serbian Government."'
