lands proud isolation" declares
General lllrschauer.
Up until 1871 The lines OF defense
for London were situated at i5 10 %
kilometers outside the capital. During
the war England found 10 necessary
TO establish lis London dcfcnses on
the Continent. Now, according 10 Gen
era llirschauer, England's sole hope
of defending It's capital Is 10 establish
these lines Of defense either on the
Meuse or on he Rhine.
General lllrschaucr points out that
at the present time Englands entire
plans OF national defense are still bas-
ed on The imperial decree Of 1898.
The keynote OF this decree. and as a
consequence OF Engand's system OF
defense, IS found In the following
clause.
"rhe defense OF the Thames presents
a great importance. because large mill
ilary establishments and arlenals are
situated on both sides Of the river and
above all because every landing on
British soil viii have for rs object
lhe capture OF London"
As consequence The British plan
for home defense provided That the
moment mobilization was ordered the
permanent army should at once take
up position along the coast OF the
channel and the North Sea for the
purpose OF covering London" Then
as soon as the troops OF defanse were
modified the permanent army was TO
become an army OF maneuVer.
In addition London was defended
by rapld-flre guns that were supposed
TO be sufficient to prevent a landing
of enemy troops; lines OF torpcdoes
were placed to prevent the approach
of troop ships, long-range coast guns
