Emperor William did not mean
to threaten war upon England

seems to be accepted that The

caused him. But this still leaves
unexplained the assertion that
Germany did apply to Portu-
gal for permission to pass ma
rines through Portuguese ter

Transvaal, nor does it explain
the unfagging preparation OF
war material and equipment of
war forces in England.
