Evidence:

'An officer [of the Serbian army, Captain S. Chatni] who spoke English well put his head out, and called to us to know if we would come into his kola ... it was very comfortable inside, with pockets containing books, candles and some very pretty rugs. He read us extracts out of some of the latest German books, in which such sentiments occurred as, "The English are wholly responsible for this horrible war, and should be swept off the face of the Earth".'
