ABLAZE
BRITISH EXPERTS BELIEVE GERMAN INVASION NEAR
By WALLACE CARROLL
Special to the "Telegraph"
LONDON, SEPT. 10 (UP).—RESPONSIBLE BRITISH AUTHORITIES TO-DAY STUDIED THE NEW REPORT OF NAZI PREPARA- TIONS FOR A POSSIBLE TRANS-CHANNEL ATTACK.
The belief is growing in London that the intensified air raids may well be an overture to the long-threatened attempt at invasion.
Experts point out that before launching an invasion, Germany would naturally try to cripple the great port of London and smash the British network of communications in order to divert the strength of the Royal Air Force from the coastal regions.
Details regarding the evidence of preparations for an invasion which were noted on the French shore have not been made public, but it seems apparent that the Germans have set up new for-
