"Major General, Chief of the General Staff. (Initials of Gen. Ducarme.) "Note.--When I met Gen. Grierson at Compiegne, during the manoeuvres of 1906, he assured me the result of the reorganization of the English Army would be that the landing of 150,000 would be assured and, that, moreover, they would stand ready for action in a shorter time than has been assumed above. "Concluded September, 1906." (Initials of Gen. Ducarme.) DOCUMENT NO. 2 Minutes of a Conference Between the Belgian Chief of the General Staff, Gen. Jungbluth, and the British Military Attache Lieut. Col. Bridges (Lieut. Col. Barnardiston, British Military Attache in Brussels, was succeeded in his office by Lieut. Col. Bridges. Likewise, Gen. Ducarme was succeeded, as Chief of the Belgian Staff, by Gen. Jungbluth. A conversation between Col. Bridges and Gen. Jungbluth was committed to writing, and that writing was also found at the Belgian Foreign Office. The document, which is dated April 23 and is presumed to belong to the year 1912, is marked "confidentielle" in the handwriting of Graf v.d. Straaten, the Belgian Foreign Secretary. This is the translation:) "_Confidential._ "The British Military Attache asked to see Gen. Jungbluth. The two gentlemen met on April 23. "Lieut. Col. Bridges told the General that England had at her disposal an army which could be sent to the Continent, composed of six divisions of infantry and eight brigades of cavalry--together 160,000 troops. She has also everything which is necessary for her to defend her insular territory. Everything is ready. "At the time of the recent events the British Government would have immediately effected a disembarkment in Belgium (chez nous) even if we had not asked for assistance. "The General objected that for that our consent was necessary. "The Military Attache answered that he knew this, but that--since we were not able to prevent the Germans from passing through our country--England would have landed her troops in Belgium under all circumstances (en tout etat de cause). "As for the place of landing, the Military Attache did not make a precise statement; he said that the coast was rather long, but the General knows that Mr. Bridges, during Easter, has paid daily visits to Zeebrugge from Ostend. "The General added that we were, besides, perfectly able to prevent the Germans from passing through."
