He has followed this with a second prophecy, According to this the destruction of the Suez can- al will take place ina fortnight, and then will come the of all calamities to the British, the invasion and burning of Tondon.. This will occur during November. About 500 steel sea-going barges are being built now for the conveyance of an army of 300,000 across the North Sea, -towed. by powerful ocean-going tugs.

Germany was held by some to be strong enough to meet the British single-handed. A memorandum found at Norderney re- jected this view, but looked forward to an alliance with three powers which would make the subjugation of Britain possible. Germany's role was to be that of invader. Her fleet was to be kept in- and she was to remain ostensi- Uly neutral until the first shock was over, or until the British navy was either crippled or beaten. Then Ger- many was to sitike. © navies of Germany and Britain are critically compared, and emphasis is laid upon the fact that Britain had at the time the book waa writen, no settled policy of na- tional defence; that co-operation he- tween the army and navy, as in Ger- py, was not studied and practised; that the navy, though magnificent, was not great enough for the inter- ests it insured; that its reserves were inadequate; that the mother country no North Sea naval base, no North sea fleet, and no North Sea policy. Lastly, Britain stood in a highly dangerous economical position. The German plan, as explained in this memorandum, was to be secret. It was to dispatch an army of infantry h the lightest type of field guns in sea-going lighters, towed by pow- tuge, vader tact, The armies and had erful but shallow-draught escort of the composite warships, and to fling the flotilla, at tide, straight upon the port was to be squadron of hizh shore.
