INVASION THREATENS BRITAIN,
LONDON PAPER DECLARES
Nation Warned to Expect Blow From
German Fleet.
LONDON, May 21.
For the first time a London newspaper
today admitted the possibility of an in
vasion of England by the Germans.
The Daily Mall, commenting editorially
on the formation of the new coalition
Cabinet, observed that tho Government
"may have to bear the brunt of much
darker days than any we have yet faced,"
"It Is possible that the men whose
names will bo put before the nation In
the next few days may be responsible
to the country at a time of actual at
tempted Invasion," said tho Mall. "Wo
do not believe for ono moment that the
Germans aro .keeping their vast fleet
of warships and transports rotting In
Idleness. We believe that when th
hour suits them, perhaps In some last
moment of desperation, their fleet will
strike with the Intention of terrifying the
people of these Islands Into peace on
their own terms."

In Magistrate MacFarland's office today.
But the girl turned on him and had Jior
say.
"IncorrlblbloH I don't know what that

that's Jo Myers, And my father wants
mo to marry tho rich one, but I lovo the

See? So my he goes and tells nil these

"What If sho was lncorrlglblo? Here's the

Tho cstlmato of tho great wealth of
Sam Fogel, unsuccessful suitor, seemed
to be baaed chiefly on tho fact that Sam
had a Job and Jo didn't. But Mr. Ruben
stuck to hla charge of incorrigibility and
declared his daughter would never havo

The source of the reports regarding
Russia could not be learned, but In tho
circles where they were accepted as true
It waa pointed out that the presence of
Emperor William or Germany and Em
peror Nicholas of Russia at the front
at the same time was significant.
Passenger trafflo on the railroads to
Italian fronts was suspended today,
This indicated that great troop move

A shudder passed through the systom
of McCarthy, a Gerraantown cop, today
when he saw a human foot protruding
through a pile of leaves in a weird subur
ban spot known as the "Five Points
Woods." And to make matters worse his
partner, Policeman Bolay, saw another
foot sticking through the other side of
the pile. As the feet were entirely dif
ferent in .shape and were encased In socks
of different colors, the cops deduced that
they belonsed to two men. Each cop then
grabbed a foot and pulled It. Their ef.
forts brought to view two forlorn looking

men looked at each other somewhat con
fused. Devlin put on a pair of spectacles from
which one pane was missing and asked,
"What" the charge?"
"Sleepln at night," said Kinney sar
castically. But the Magistrate sidetracked a Jong
argument by quick action. "There have
been complaints In the neighborhood
about the many suspicious characters
hanging around, and while you gentlemen
may not be In that class, you appear to
forget your regular address. So I'll send
you to the House of Correction where the
police will not disturb your slumbers for
n month."
A peculiar, buzilng sound. Just like that
of an .alarm clock when It Is held under
a pillow, came from a horseless grocery
wagon which stood at York and Uodlne
J""' " "uno was neard by a small
boy. He Immediately thought of dyna
mite bombs, and running breathlessly to
Policeman McCusker, told him of the
noise. The cop approached the wagon
cautiously. At the rear he saw the feet
of three men sticking out. He looked
In. They Mere snoring contentedly. Mc
Cusker then stepped between tho shafts
of the wagon noiselessly, and In real
jlnrlksha fashion pulled the sleepers to
tho th and York streets station.
Then the strenuous bluecoat awakened
his passengers, one at a tima and placed
them on chairs In the station house.
They promptly fell asleep again, until U
was their turn to be heard by Magistrate
Glenn.

Is regarded by tho publlo ob lnevltablo;
tho only question la: When will It begin?
CABINET SILENT.
All members of tho Cabinet maintained
strict sllenco as to the next step to bo
takon. Unusual activity at the War
omco and tho Admiralty showed plainly
that Important developments are close at
hand.
It was said that a 48-hour ultimatum
would be sent to Vienna during tho day,
but at the same tlmo belief was felt In
many quarters that hostilities would be
commenced without further diplomatic in
tercourse with the governments of the
Teutonto allies.
From a semiofficial source It was learn
ed that the Government expects the fol
lowing developments: Italy will declare
war against Austria; Austria will then. de
clare war against Italy: Germany Is then
expected to declare war against this coun
try and bo followed by Turkey. Plans
havo been made for three soparate
phases of action by tho War Office and
Admiralty:
1. Tho launching of troops against Aus
tria.
2. The transportation of an army Into
France.
3. A vlgourous naval campaign against
the Austrian defenses In tho Adriatic,
with the possibility of a fleet going to
the Dardanelles to help the Allies batter
down the Turkish works there.
CADORNA IN COMMAND.
The military operation will be directed
by Count Lulgl Cadorna, lieutenant col
onel and chief of staff of the Italian
army, and by General Carlo Caneva,
commander of the army lying on tho
Austrian frontier.
The naval operations will be directed
by the Duke of the Abruzzl, commander
of tho Italian pavy.
Tho Bavarian and Prussian Ministers to
the Vatican have already called upon
their fellow prelates, bidding them fare
well. Naby Bey, the Turkish Ambassador,
has made flnal preparations for his de
parture. Venice has been strongly fortified as a
result of reports reaching the Admiralty
that tho Austrian fleet at Pola would
bombard that city at tho first outbreak
of hostilities.
CONFISCATE RICE CARGO.
At Naples the customs authorities con
fiscated a cargo of 2000 tpna of rice whose
destination waa Germany.
Copies of the Government's "green
book," putting responsibility for the ap
proaching war upon Austria, are being
circulated throughout tho kingdom and
newspapers have been Induced to print it
for "the Institution of peace "
A Turin dispatch says that the bulk of
the civilian population haa fled from the
Austrian cities of Trieste, Pola and
Flume. The Imperial authorities are dis
patching the official archives from
j-riwo inio mo interior of Austria.
Ninety-two per cent of the males In
southern Austria from 17 to B0 years of
age have been called to the colors.
There aro about 20.000 Italians of mill
tary age In Germany, and It Is -reported
that the German authorities are treating
them harshly and putting every obstacle
In tho way of their departure. Many
have been arrested as spies.
ATHENS, May 2L
"All tho Turkish forts on the Aslatto
sido of tho Dardanelles have been de
stroyed," says a dispatch received from
Mltylcno today. Several of tho European
forts are still holding out, however, adds

lnnded at Scdd-ul-Bahr nro now attack
ing tho Turkish positions at Krlthla from
tho south.
Tho Athens report about the capture of
Maldos Indicates that the strong Turkish
forcen on tho too of tho peninsula are
trapped.
A dispatch from Athens confirmed
tho destruction of tho forts at Kllld Bahr,
and said tho bombardment of tho Nagara
forts continue day and night. British
aeroplanes aro said to havo caused a
flro In tho town of Galllpoll by dropping
bombfe.
A Central News dispatch from Athons
says that the town of Dardanelles has
been destroyed by tho Anglo-French
floets' bombardment, and that a largo
part of tho town of Galllpoll has been
wrecked by bombs diopped by the Allies'
aviators.

CABINET CONSIDERS
GERMANY'S ATTITUDE
Continued from Fare One
cargoes detained In British ports, it Is
understood that Secretary Bryan had
favored a note to England not only ask
ing that prize court hearings on such
cases be expedited, but also a modifica
tion of the British order In council pro
claiming a blockade against all commerce
with Germany whether contraband or
noncontraband.
England says It will pay for cotton,
beef and other goods as soon as tho ship
pers furnish copies of contracts showing
the price at which the sales originally
were made.
Proof that the Kaiser personally will
havo the flnal word In deciding Germany's
reply to the Wilson protest against sub
marine warfare reached hero today.
This confirmed American officials' be
lief that If harmonious relations between
the two countries aro to continue the
Kaiser himself will have to preserve
them.
FJNAL WORD WITH KAISER.
The Kaiser, however, will havo the
flnal say, and Austro-German influences
In this country have been addressed to
him to have Bueh concessions made as
will satisfy the United StateB.
It Is already certain that Germany will
not take the responsibility of breaking
off negotiations with this Government by
a belligerent reply, The tone Is to be
polite and conciliatory, according to cor
respondents In Berlin, and all Information
reaching here sustains this expectation
