Monts to Bülow, Dec. 18, 1904, ibid., 88 f. No. 6424; report of Military Attaché Chelius to Schlieffen, Dec. 18, 1904, ibid., 89 ff., No. 6424 Anlage; Metternich to Bülow, Jan. 12, 1905, ibid., 93, No. 6425. The relation of Italy to France and Germany was well shown in the following incident. Shortly after Loubet’s visit to Rome, an Italian officer was caught delivering to the French important documents dealing with the Italian plan of mobilization. At about the same time the Italian chief of staff gave to the German government photographs of the French border fortifications (ibid., Nos. 6423-24, 6426).
