tOrious at any time
From the dispatches Il was learned
that France believed Germany has
massed practically It's whole army
eventually to strike France. II was
said. however. that the allies have
not yet been forced out of Belgium
and that there would be considerable
lighting in Belgian territory before
German arms could cross the Bel
gium-France frontier
One reason the allies were not vic
toriOus i'm the first great conflict in
Belgium. embassy officials said, was
because France and England never
thought any nation would violate the
neutrality of Belgium.
Some time ago when France feared
that Germany might disregard this
neutrality treaty, the embassy pointed
out, France began to fortify cities
and towns along the Belgian border.
So far the work has progressed eX-
tensively in only one city-Maubeuge,
France, il was said.

ies for their operations Two ad-

The Ardennes is a thicky wooded

Tenders is enormous and this fact is
sufficient i'm itself 20 account for the

The fall of Namur undoubtedly
drove the third allied force out of the
Meuse- -Sambre angle, thus completing
the German victory. The mystery OF
Namurs fall is removed if the Ger
mans used against it a mass assault

attacks at Liege. Namur's delenses
are much more compact than are
Liege's, and lend themselves better to
assault by mass formation.
