Possibility of German Invasion of Holland Is Discussed In London
LONDON, Nov. 6. (Router) The possi- bility of a German invasion of Holland is longibily discussed by the "Timer" military correspondant, who says that it has been suggested that such an action might be accom panied by assurances to Belgium that no throat to her neutrality was involved, and that her frontiers would be respected if she remainod quict.

Apart from tho strength of the Belgian army and their fortifications, such an action
would bring British and French troops into and across Belgium to block the Gorman path.

The view of the Dutch themselves is that invasion by Germany must be provided for, but that it is unlikely, as they consider that the offect upon public opinion in the United States would be such that Gormany must hesitate to arouse such a storm.
