that most OF the cars during the morning

this route that the cars operate from
Congress Heights TO Brookland, by way
OF the Union Station and North Capitol

the grand campaign of Germany. as origi-
naIIy planned against the allies, included
the invasion Of England as well as the
seizure Of Paris. has just come to light.
GermAny's Intentions have not yet been
abandoned. but there have been unfore-
seen checks notably the unexpected
strength Of the Russian invasion and the
| setback in Belgium.
( The primary object of Germany in the
present war was to crush France No
secret could be made OF this. The Ger
man general stan at the outbreak of the
war figured that Paris would be reached
In six 10 eight weeks. Basing their calcU-
lations of the siege OF 1870 and the pres
ent-day strength of German armament, IL
was figured that the French capital would
not be able to hold out for any great
length OF time.
To Annex Belgium.
In the meantime the German armies
were to overrun Northern France and
Belgium, occupying Antwerp. DunkIrk.
Boulogne, and Calais. All OF Belgium and
the northeast coast OF France then would
be included in a great German federation,
into which Holland would be invited.
Surprising that Germany had been sue
cessful in the acquisition of this territory
Holland naturally would consent to ally
herself with Germany.
Great Krupp long range guns, built to
carry sixteen miles, then would be placed
along the English Channel and under
their protection German fleets of battle
ships cruisers. torpedo boats and de-
stroyers then would be modified along
the coast under the protection Of the
fleets, both ends OF the Straits Of Dover
would be thickly mined.
Dash for BrItain.
The channel at Dover is only twenty
seven miles wide. According to the Ger
man program 2 mighty fleet of trans
ports, thanked and protected by war fleets
with double guard Of mines then would
dash to the English coast. fulfilling an
ambition which has lain dormant since
Napoleon planned his invasion.
Dirigible balloons and aeroplanes were
expected TO play an important part In
the campaign Of invasion.
But the German general stan failed to
foresee the stubbornness of the Belgium,
forts. the strength OF the French invasion
or the resisting qualities of the allied
army in France. Just how far the gen
eral stan has modified its original pro-
gram is information they are keeping to
themselves.
