Invasion Has Failed.

New York, Sept. 11.-CUP)-The New York Sun said today letters re- ceived by French residents here from independent sources in Paris and occupied France revealed that a Nazi attempt to land troops in England had failed disastrously.
 According to. the letters, the Sun said, the German invading fleet started from St. Malo on the Chan nel in the expectation of landing on the west coast of England but the attempt proved to be nothing short of suicide"
 Two letters referred to the at tempt, the Sun said, and both sur- missed that the news already had been published outside of France. Both letters had few details and gave no date for the attempted troop landing but one letter, dated August 28, referred casually to the suicidal attempt at debarkation, the newspaper continued.
 A letter from Paris, written by French official acting in iaison with the German army of occupation, said, according to the Sun:
 Paris is full of German officers who are having a wonderful time. They are only hoping they will be allowed to stay here. Especially they hope and pray that they will not be chosen to participate in an- other disastrous attempt to debark troops in England"
 Neither the German nor British government has reported any Ger man attempt to land troops.
