Germany is undoubtedly making plans to invade England.

Plans do not always work out, but dispatches from Berlin suggest a scheme of invasion that is sufficient to- frighten the Britishers almost into a panic.’ The English armies are fighting along the battle line between Prance and Germany. Only the untrained troops are at home The plan of the Germans, according to the dispatch, is to seek a naval engagement in the North Sea. While the German battleships tare fighting the English fleet the German artillery will hammer away at the English coast and try tb make a landing of its land troops possible Nothing would hold them from a triumphal march through England if they secure a foothold. The devastation would be enormous. The hatred which Germany now feels for England would have its effect in the work of demolition.

In the meantime the Germans and the allies are engaged, in lockl combat along the line without decisive results. The Germans except in Belgium seem to be on the defensive and are thus able, in all probability, to inflict’heavy losses on the allies. - It is reported from London that the young soldiers are being urged to marry before they go to war as a prevention against a falling birth rate.
