BY MAJ. GEORGE FIELDING
ELIOT.

The world waits for the much
heralded attempt ct the invasion Of
Great Britain. There Is reason for
the German delay. This is 4 far
more formidable enterprise than
anything Naxi arms have as yet
undertaken. The reason is that the
communications Of the main strik-
Ing force-the army--must be par
TALLY maritime. Germany cannot
bring to bear her whole army
against Great Britain In an over
whelming series OF continuous at
tacks, as she did with France. Ger
many can use against Great Britain
only that part Of her army which
she can transport there by sea, and
which she can land on British
shores In condition to fight, plus
such men as may be brought by air.
craft.
There is need. therefore, for the
most careful preparation. Men must
be specially trained in embarking
and disembarking. not only from
ships, but also from whatever spe-
cially designed barges and small
craft it may be thought desirable to
employ; this cannot be done ON the
shore Of the Channel and the North
Sea, under the bombs and the
cameras of British aircraft, 50 it
must be done on the Baltic shore
which means more delay In sending
men and equipment back and forth.
The ships, barges. motorboats and
the escorting warships must be made
ready They will hardly be gath
cred together in one place; instead
they will be distributed amongst
many harbors and beaches all the
way from Norway to Brittany-and
this means not only q most compN-
Gated plan, but also time to move
everything to its appointed place
and for inspections to make sure all
Is in readiness. Furthermore, much
Of the actual movement must be
done at night, or under conditions
tending to deceive the British air
men. Meanwhile, German aircraft
are bringing back photographs OF
British terrain, which will require
careful study in order to. select
landing places and routes of advance
inland and to choose targets for
bombers and supporting artillery.
Vast quantities of munitions and
supplies of all sorts must be COL
lected at suitable places and ar
rangements made for these things to
be forwarded swiftly to the ports
and to be ferried to England when
the beachheads have been made
good.
Air Planning Complex.
The air plan must include the
assignment Of bombers In direct
support of the landing parties,
others to attack British forces NOV
ing toward the landing places, still
others to deal with British artillery
and naval forces: fighters to beat
of British air attacks, and recon-
Nuisance planes to keep contact
with the German troops, to observe
the movements Of the British land,
sea ana air forces, ana TO spot for
the artillery.
Such naval forces as are avail
able must be ready for any sacri-
nee to prevent attack by British
'warships on 1.-The troop conveys; IN

lay may be an attempt to train Ger

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Jimmy Skunk had accidentally
found out that he was suspected of
having stolen all the eggs from Mrs.
Grouse. For that reason no one
would have anything to do with him.
If people think you have done
wrong they make it just as uncom-
Portable as if you had done wrong.
1t was so in Jimmy Skunk's case.
No one would have anything to do
with MIN. Why. they wouldn't even
speak to him if they could help it.
But now that Jimmy knew what
the trouble was he made up mis-
mind that he would just turn po-
]iceman and find out who really did
steal the eggs. Now everybody
knows that Jimmy Skunk is ex-

The king of hearts was opened.
DeClarer trumped and led a spade,
dummy's king forcing East's ace.
East led trump, but it did no good,
because the only additional tricks
declarer had to lose were the ace
king of diamonds, and he made his
contract for the rubber.
East's defense of his double lay
in the fact that it was certainly
tough luck to find South with a
void of hearts West pointed out,
however. that if there had been no
void of hearts, the hand would have
been down one trick. Hence, the
double would have gained 100 points
for East and West, whereas it ac-
tually cost $50.
Why didn't you bid four hearts?"
West asked his partner. The only
reason you would have failed to
make it was the fact that all three
trumps were punched against us in
one hand. AS long as you're going
to gamble on the hand. why not
gamble where you have a chance to
make something worthwhile"
