AUSTRIA'S ULTIMATUM TO SERBIA. BERCHTOLD OVERRULED TISZA. Press Association—By Telegrapb—Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. VIENNA, September 22. (Received September 23, at 10.25 a.m.) The ' Arbiter Zeitung' publishes extracts from an official volume to be issued shortly on the origin of the war. It has been compiled from State documents. It shows that Austria's Ministerial Council, after the Archduke Franz Ferdinand's assassination, at Senijevo, on June. 28, 1914. induced war with Serbia, fully realising' that their ultimatum to Serbia must be rejected. Count Tisza, Hungarian Premier, alone was willing to be content with a diplomatic victorv, and he wished to make terms such as Serbia could accept. Count Berchtold (then Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister) insisted, however, upon war deeding the issues. He realised that Russia would be dragaed.in, but the Kaiser and Bethmaim Hollweg had given a satisfactory guarantee ow Germany's behalf in the event of European complications.
