GERMANS EXPECT
 TO INVADE BERLIN

ROTTERDAM, Dec. BOA gentle man who has just come from Berlin declares that every one in Germany .s convinced that an invasion Of Eng and will be attempted, and that the cruisers which appeared off Yarmouth were engaged ip- aseertaiping whether the feat was possible. TO the sug- question that a fleet Of transports would be at tue mercy of the British fleet he replied that the popular view was simply that 1t was not lmpossi- ble to devise 9 scheme which would 1eep such vessels out of the way.
 The Germans think an escort of sub marines could do this f aided by Zep- oelins, which are now engaged iu bat le practice against "warship" targets. The transports, according to the pop nlar theory, would not be unloaded in an ordinary way. They would be piled up on the coast and the men, horses and guns would be tumbled oy- arboard.
