AK Ia Chappelle and Treves, n II is
believed that next spring the size OF
the camp will be considerably reduced.

Elsenborn is merely a big drill ground,

part of a plan which the late COunt
Won Moltke arranged for the invasion
of France by Belgium and the Valley
Of the Meuse. and that Germany could
concentrate a half-milliOn men there
in Il single day. The suggestion that
France should issue n counter blast
by forming n strong camp on the
southern frontier Of Belgium causes
apprehension at Brussels. and II is
hoped in the interest of peace that En-
perOr William will sec his way to
