THINKS GERMANS PLAN
TO INVADE ENGLAND

London. Dec. l9.-During the re-
laxation in all the offensive cant
paigns European interest is focused
on the probabilities of some new
but as We; undeveloped upheayal. 1t
appears to be taken for granted on
all sides that the policy Of the Cen
trail Powers will be TO attempt TO
gain a decision somewhere, while
their opponents will prefer 20 de-
vote the winter to preparations for
warfare in the spring.
THE Observer" considers a Ger
man attempt 10 invade England az
a desperate gamble, one Of the fore
most possibilities. and believes that
the extensive movements Of troops
in Belgium may mean preparation
for cmbarking at Zecbrugge aud in
the Scheldt River.
