tempt a landing on English soil
The invasion Is planned to take place
on the coast of Kent. just south OF the
Isle of Sheppey More than -four army
corps Of hrst-line German troops were
told or for the British expedition.
Lord Kitchener. the Secretary OF War,
along with other military men who have
been watching the disposition of German
forces, have been puzzled for some time
by the absence from active service Of
several corps OF Germauy's best veterans.
AS no trace OF the troops could be
secured on the battlefield spies were sent
into Holland, Belgium and Germany.
These spies unearthed the information
that the troops were quartered near the
Kiel Canal where a big fleet of war
ships and transports Is being kept by the
German Admiralty.
The German plan was TO swoop down
on the English coast at a spot where
they would be least expected yet within
striking distance of London. Finally the
mouth of the Thames was selected.
For weeks thousands of British troops
have been drafted into this area. and
have been busy digging trenches on the
Downs overlooking the Englsh channel.
Along the beach from Herne bay to
a point opposite the Isle Of Sheppoy
barbed wire entanElements have been
erected and guns planted to sweep the
coast.
Most of the wire entanelemonts were
stretched on low ground. which is SUBJ

is in could q landing be expected, for
otherwise the fatncss Of the beach would
mean a march OF more than mile IN
