The invading fleet started. from St. Malo with the expectation of landing on the West Coast, but the attempt proved suicidal. V
Two letters referred to the incident, both surmising that the news had already been published outside of France.
■; Both gave no details, and did not give the date but one dated August 28, referred casually to the “suicidal attempt :at debarkation. ” A Tetter from Paris from a French official acting as liaison to the German Army stated:—“Paris is.full of German officers ; who are having a wonderful time, and,- hoping they .Will be allowed to stay, especially hoping and praying they'.willf not be ; chosen to participate jn another disastrous attempt, to debark. trOops in England.”
