An announcement to that effect was
made by Mr.. Hollinger this morning
on his arrival from San Francisco on

"and was made for several reasons.

Late features of the mainland fire
as found by Mr.. nollin-

systems which have recently been in

After examining the gong system at
San Francisco Mr.. Hollinger reported
that he would make an effort to have
a similar system installed in Homo.

These gongs are inexpensive to in

Special Cdbis Despatch 10 THE SuS.
LONDON, Oct. 1b.-The Times military
expert, in discussing the probability Of
German attempt to invade England
says:
Now that the war Is reaching the
climax OF it's violence we must antici-
pate that all the forces Of Germany
will be thrown into the conflict and
that the German navy no longer will
remain inert. We must expect to be
attacked at home and must not rest
under any comforting Illusions, but
must look the situation calmly in the
face
Prom the soldisrs point Of view the
naval defence OF the British Isles
presents difficulties which not even n
marked preponderance OF ships can
with absolute assurance overcome The
length OF our coasts. the absence Of our
best troops oversee, the want of n ma
tional army which is still only forming.
the submarine menace which keeps our
grand fleet often far from the ulti-
mately decisive point, Zeppelins. mines
and other conditions which are more or
less novel throw upon Admiral Jelicoc
burden Of responsibility which must
not be moderated.
Germany, while acknowledging the
| uncertainty OF success. will probably
/ hope to keep the British navy engaged
with she German navy while transports
escorted by the older warships slip
across and make landing under the
! protection Of mines. submarines and
vessels sunk in a fairway shipping from
! German ports for embarkation n quar-
! ter of a million men or more. and from
/ the evidence We have had Of the calm
/ ness with which German generals sac
! rificc life to attain their objects we car
/ b, sure that the loss Of 5000 men in
4 transit will be considered cheap price
to pay for throwing the remainder
ashore"
The writer argues that Germany Is
We'll able to spare the troops for the
attempt, and that although tho odds are
against success the adventure may be
/ attempted. and he urges the Govern
mcnt promptly to announce the meas
/ ures IL proposes to take and to instruct
/ he public how TO act in case OF such ar
invasion. He suggests the appointment
| Of commander in chief and warnS
against indulging in a false sense Of
security.
