Moreover, Herr von Bethmann Hollweg, on March 18, 1918, acknowledged
the accuracy of M. Pichon's quotation and contented himself to declare
that "his instructions to Von Schoen were justified."
APPENDIX II
HOW GERMANS TREAT AN AMBASSADOR
This document is quoted from the French "Yellow Book," page 152:
_From Copenhagen_
_French Yellow Book No. 155_
M. Bapst, French Minister at Copenhagen, to
M. Doumergue, Minister for Foreign Affairs.
COPENHAGEN, AUGUST 6, 1914.
The French Ambassador at Berlin, M. Jules Cambon, asks me to
communicate to your Excellency the following telegram:
I have been sent to Denmark by the German Government. I have
just arrived at Copenhagen. I am accompanied by all the
staff of the Embassy and the Russian Charge d'Affaires at
Darmstadt with his family. The treatment which we have
received is of such a nature that I have thought it
desirable to make a complete report on it to your Excellency
by telegram.
On the morning of Monday, the 3rd of August, after I had, in
accordance with your instructions, addressed to Herr von
Jagow a protest against the acts of aggression committed on
French territory by German troops, the Secretary of State
came to see me.
