Army to Invade England.

Troop ships, crowded with the best
soldiers Of the German armies. will he
waiting In the German ports. The first
tnkling the English get of the reunion
of the scattered German ships into a
great fleet, if all goes we'll, will be the
appearance of the fleet in the North
sea. Before Jellicoe can gather enough
ships to give battle and arrive on the
scene the remnants of English naval
strength left on guard, together with
second line Mediterranean assistance
that may have arrived, will have been
destroyed and a great army disem-
barked on English shores.
This army, the Germans firmly be-
Heve, will oyerrun and conquer Great
Britain. Meanwhile the German fleet,
its task accomplished, can again re-
tire behind its mine fields and under
the shelter of the guns of Helgoland
and the shore. Jellicoe and his grand
feet may come back and welcome
them-they will be too late!
England's Defense.
There are at present at least 100000
men of kitchener's new army training
on the east coast. Trenches have been
dug in all strategic positions. Great
stores of artillery and munitions are
being kept in reserve. Britain may be
loyal to France and devoted to Bel
GUM, but Britain's first duty, the war
Office believes, is to herself This ex-
plains why with more than 100000
British under arms there are less than
100000 in Flanders. Until the danger
of German invasion is over trained

fcient quantity, in Kitchener's opin-
ion, to defeat any possible army that
may be landed.
Admiral Jellicoes great task, as has
been seen, is to keep the German feet
out of the open sea. If he fails in
this the chances of success will be all
in the kaiser's favor. During every
international crisis in recent years the
British feet has gone to its stations in
the north to prevent this dash for the
sea, and any attempt Of the German
feet to get out during a period Of
strained relations would have meant
battle, war or no war. Winston
Churchill secretly modified the fleet
last summer and sent it north two
days before the Austrian uldmatum
was sent to Servia.
If these main facts be kept in mind
the British naval strategy will be per-
fectly obvious. JellicOe must concen-
trate his strength so that he can OPP
pose a superior force to German fleet
attempting to break out of the North
sea at either end before the attempt
can succeed. He must also keep his
first line ships, during the period OF
waiting, safe from submarine attack.
There have been two naval actions
fought in the North sea, known as the
battle of the Blight Of Helgoland and
the battle of the Dogger Bank. In the
former the Germans lost two small
cruisers and some destroyers, in the lat
ter the cruiser Butcher went down.
Both were fought by England's flying
squadron under Admiral Sir David
Beatty. Beatty commands the battle
cruisers Lion. Queen Mary and Prin-

Watchful Waiting of Submarines

What are the English submarines
doing? They are watchfully waiting
off Helgoland and in the Skagerak.
They will go on waiting until the Ger
mans come out. They cannot go In any
more than can the surface ships. Ger
man mines have made that impossible.
There are ninety English submarines
now in commission, including eight Of
the new F class, even superior to the
newest . boats. King George recently
slipped down to Hull and inspected
these eight under water cruisers, the
existence of which Is not known to the
British public. Twenty more subma-
rines of an earlier type are soon to cross
the Atlantic from Canada. All these
under water craft operating in the
North sea are based on Hull and other
east coast cities, and they are working
just as hard as the German q boats,
although they cannot sink merchant
ships and get their names in the pa
pers.

plement of light cruisers and destroy
ers.
TO sum up the whole situation, the
English strategists have SO arranged
matters that the German feet, escap-
ing to the north, will be met by the en-
tire strength of the grand fleet. If the
Germans try the southern exit the
ships at Cromarty cannot get down in
time to engage them, SO that only
Tough Swilly's squadrons will be avail
able, but the English are certain that
no German fleet can get through the
strait Of Dover and the English
channel without losing half of it's ships

What the Fleet Would Do.

If the German feet breaks out into
the Atlantic it will scatter everywhere.
sinking all merchant ships on the trade
routes, excepting Americans, spreading
ruin and terror among Englanfs colo
MES. Bermuda, Jamaica, Halifax, will
be attacked and forced to coal the
kaiser's DreadnOughts. English coal
ing stations abound; great stores Of
coal cannot be quickly destroyed. and
the vital problem of fuel will not worry
the Germans for some time. The weak
cruisers England has on patrol duty
in the Atlantic must fly for their lives.
A whole squadron of them could not
stand against one modern battleship.
Would Endanger British Empire.
The German ships thus scattered
through the Atlantic, the position OF
Great Britain will be desperate in the
extreme. Jellicoe can do one Of two
things, keep his fleet in the North sea
and protect England against the Ger
man army, or chase the German ships
into the Atlantic. Either course, it is
highly probable, might result i'll the de
Struction Of the empire.
If the British feet remains to guard
the east coast the command Of the
world oceans will pass instantly from
England to Germany, with incalcula-
bic consequences. Even if food ships
from Holland and Scandinavia can be
protected and keep England from star
vatiOn, and if communications with the
armies in Flanders can be kept up, her
downfall, with the colonies cut off and
the import of war munitions for herself
and her allies stopped, might be only
question Of months. The Germans,
with the whole overseas empire at their
mercy, can get all the coal they want,
lay Canada and India and Australia
under tribute and patrol the seven seas
until England cries quits

Strength of Fleet Increased.

The strength of the grand feet, rela-
tive to the high seas feet, has greatly
increased since the war broke out.
Jellicoe now has eight super-Dread-
pOughtS which were not completed last
Augustine Agincourt and Erin, taken
over from Turkey; the Canada, taken
over from Chile; the Emperor of India
and the Benbow and three sister ships
to the Queen Elizabeth with fifteen
inch guns, the Barham, Valiant and
WarSpite. Against this increase is to
be placed the loss of the Audacious.
Won Ingenohl has received the battle
cruiser LutzOw and probably by the
time these lines appear the super
Dreadnoughts Salamis and Kronprinz,
three first line ships In ALL So in terms
of DreadnOughts the English are four
units better off, relative to the Ger
mans, than they were last August.
Why, then. did not the Germans
make their break long ago? The rea-
son is military, not naval 1t is going
to take many corps of first line troops,
the Germans admit, to conquer Eng
land. Until Russia has been put out
of it for a long time to come these
troops cannot be spared without put
ting the German frontiers in peril.
The present situation on the Russian
front indicates that Germany may soon
be able to slacken her efforts against
the exhausted Muscovites.
If this is true tha dav NAV no cIOSe

German Coast Protected.

The German coasts, the layman will
think. will then be left unprotected.
Not at all Incredible as it may seem,
there are 1000 heavy guns on the is
land of Helgoland, itself incased in
armor of concrete and steel, and Of
these guns 400 are of fourteen inch or
greater caliber. They have the range
of every square yard of sea for TWEEN
ty miles in al directions.
Hundreds of millions of dollars have
been poured into making the entire
coast line of Germany impregnable.
thousands of guns cover possible land
ing places, and English experts admit
that if there were not a single German
warship afioat, if there were no Ger
man mine fields, 1t is not likely that
