PAYNE London Correspondent of The Star. ? Invasion of England—the age-old dream of every great continental militafy power—is now considered the real German aim for 1918. Teutonic onslaught upon the island fortress has been, since the war began, a recognized and menacing possibility. A knockout of the entente in 1918, or complete dis- aster—Germany unquestionably recognizes that this is her alternative WORLD DOMINATION OR RUIN, FOR KAISER “World-power or downfall” has become now in fact the choice before the kaiser. In 1919 America’s strength will begin irresistibly to turn the tide against him. Know- ing this, military men are today attempting to discover just what definite plans for invasion of England the Ger- mans have made or are being contemplated by the Germans. Capture of Paris would not smash the entente while the power of England stood. England is therefore the logical object for Hinden- burg’s 1918 blow. —| These are some of the considera- tions which have led up to the cur rent talk among military erities a possible invasion of Britain. this talk is not mere idle shown by th re respon ON WEST FRONT ‘= 2s": Discuss Possibility Lieut.Col.
