GERMANY BUILDING AIRSHIPS
LONDON, Nov. 23.—Germany is now reported to be
feverishly active in the building of warships and Zep
pelins. As Germany is unable to compete with Great Bri
tain in the building of warships she is devoting her ener-,
gy to the construction of airships and warships are taking
second place. All this leads the British people and author-j
ities to the conclusion that the enemy is bending all its j
energy to the proposed attempt to invade this country.
It is now almost taken for granted that the German fleet
and the airships will act together when Germany believes
the time has come for the grand assault on the British
coasts. This attack is not. however, looked for until Ger
mane succeeds in taking the 1* rench coast and this ma%\
be never.
TURKS NEAR SUEZ
LONDON, Nov. 23.—Turkish forces are reported to
day to be close to the Suez canal and the fact has caused
more or less uneasiness. It had been understood that the
Turks had given an undertaking not to destroy the canal
but their proximity to the water way cannot be contem
plated without feelings of uneasiness unless the British
forces in that part of the world are sufficient to repel
them. The estimate of the Turkish armies in the field
ranges all the way from four hundred thousand to nine
hundred thousand and that such a force is formidable
under the circumstances must be admitted. A large part
of this force must be used against the Russians in the
east but there is still a strong body left for any attack
on Suez or for an invasion of Egypt. Bulgaria denies that
it has made an arrangement with Turkey not to enter the
field against her but Bulgaria seems not to have any in
tention of departing from her position of neutrality.
Should the Germans succeed against the Russians the Bal
kan states will undoubtedly be afraid to take sides against j
Austria or Germany.
ANTWERP, Nov. 23.—Orders to “smash up the wind
mills anywhere within ten miles of any possible engage
ment" have been issued by officers of the allied armies.
It has been found that the Flemish windmills are as:
dangerous as they are picturesque. Many of them sur
mount loftv brick bases which give the wheels a total
height of seventy-five or one hundred feet.
The Germans were quick to avail themselves of these
high windmills as signal stations and both by day and
night they made use of them in many of the fights in
Flanders.
