PORTUGAL VOTES FOR WAR
ACTION CAUSED BY GERMAN AT.
TACK IN ANGOLA.
Sides With England in Great
Conflict.

Lisbon. Portugal.--The entrance OF
Portugal into the European war was
foreshadowed when the chamber
voted in favor OF making preparations
for Portugal TO join England in the
conflict. The chamber also approved
proposals for measures to be taken in
defense of the colonies and all steps
necessary placing the country on a
war footing.
1t is generally expected that Port
ugaFs greatest activity will be in Az
RIGA against the German colonies,
should the decision to enter the war
be finally adopted.
The vote in the chamber followed
an announcement that the Germans
had directed another attack upon the
Portuguese province of Angola.
Portugals peace strength consists
OF 10000 men, comprising the home
army and 10000 colonial troops. In
war time about 250,O00 trained troops
could be put into the field. Conscrip-
ton prevails in Portugal and the ar
my is considered fairly efficient. but
not thoroughly equipped.
Portugal already has sent an ex-
peditionary force estimated at up
wards of 1000 men to West Africa.
The first of these troops were sent
during September and more followed
during October.
