ENGLAND MAKES

voiced by several London newspapere
that the citizenry of England he in

act in case of a German INVASION
whether to fight as citizens or remain
passive, has prompted the Daily Mail
To reprint orders issued more Than n
hundred years ago to meet a similar
contingency The author of the Orders
was the duke of York, then Commander
in chief. and they were promulgated in
1901, when BritonS regarded the land
ing of troops by Napoleon as NOT oDGv
possible but probable. At any rate tbis
is to be inferred from the tone of fbe
dukes prOnouncement
Commenting on this ancient docu-
ment, the Daily Mail says it is "of
special relevance at the present time
when the Germans are loudly proclaim
ing their intention Of attempting in
vasion of this country" The order was

Paris, France, Nov. 17.-Parisians

of impressiOnable people threatened by

prevails There seems to be entire
