Oversee Invasion,

If it takes $4,000 troops almost three
weeks to carry out an oversee attack,
with no opposition whatever, how long
would 100000 or even 10000, take in the
face of some very dangerous opposi-
ton, even If the bulk of the defending
fleet is out of the way? Our coastal
torpedo fotillas are always on the
spot. AS far as the events of this
(ltalian) war afford an indication, we
should incur no undue risk if We dis
patched our battle fleets in the Cape
OF Good Hope or Indian ocean, except
to u trade routes neal home waters.
