BRITAIN AND GERMANY.
PREPARATIONS FOR WAR LAST SUMMER. A CONCILIATORY SPEECH. (Received 13, 8.50 a.m.) Berlin, May 12. '1 ho first admission from any German quarter that precautions were adopted on both sides last summer during the Morocco crisis emanated from Admiral von Tirpitz's speech in committee on the Budget, acknowledging with particular satisfaction Mr. Asquith's declaration that the intention to attack Germany never existed. Admiral von Tirpitz remarked that the fact that precautions were adopted on both sides was indisputable, but this was no proof of positive intentions on the part of the Governments concerned. He thought too highly of the British Admiralty to believe that the idea of a German attack on Britain had ever entered into its consideration.
