ANNEX. At a meetingø which took place on 15th April at Richmond Terrace, the British representatives in southeastern Europe were told by the War Office that it was considered most unlikely that Germany was about to attempt to bring under her military control Hungary, Roumania, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria; that any enterprise of this kind would require on Germany's part elaborate preparations which could hardly be completed in less than three months; that no signs of such preparations having been begun were yet perceptible; that when they were begun we should know it, and consequently that we may make our minds easy for the moment, and rely on getting warning in advance of a German advance in a south-easterly direction.
