A message from Jersey City says that Dr. Charles F. Bove, head surgeon of the American Hospital in Paris, on his arrival from France, said the Germans had already attempted and failed several times to invade England at different points.
Dr. Bove described seeing hundreds of German bodies in the water near Cherbourg and added that the Germans had been constantly practising for an invasion. They vyere forced to leap overboard and swim considerable distances in full uniform and equipment.
He declared that he was aware of invasion attempts from his personal observation and from talking with men in responsible positions.
