INVASION POSSIBILITY
DESPERATE GERMAN HOPE.
INFERIORITY ON LAND.
LONDON, 27th March. The situation of Germany is regarded as desperate by Coloriel Repington, the military correspondent of the London Times. Owing to the Allies' accumulated. Btrengih, he discounts the possibility of'the enemy attacking either the east or the west front. The overwhelming British superiority in field and machine-guns, he aays/ is likely to repulse any offensive with overwhelming looses, rendering it impossible for Germany to continue the war. Tho invasion of tho British Mes must not be overlooked, because, the navy js the- only great German war weapon which has so far not been used in the larger sense. A successful invasion and a deadly blow at the heart 6f the alliance .offers the only visible escape from a desperate situation. Germany obviously hoped to escape sacrificing her navy, thinking that her armies would be victorious. As this hope recedes only the conviction that failure would'be inevitable would prevent an at- ' tempted invasion.
