LONDON. Aug. IS. - Yesterday
was a day OF bad news and We fear
moro must follow" the London Times
says today in an editorial on the fall
of Namur.
"In the first phase Of the great bat
tle." the paper continues, "the Ger
mans appear to have won ground all
along the line save In the area held
by the British. We were prepared
for the ebb and flow of the conflict
but not for the fall of Namur. We
had to face this situation with u0-
shaken confidence. We have to re-
member that the battle is not yet
over. The Germans have not yet
burst their way through to Franco.
We have to remember that this is
only the first great encounter Of a
war which plainly is destined TO be
a long one. For the allies 1t is a
phaze. For the Germans 1t is vital.
They are dealing their blows wAh
tremendous vigor, but the issue In
Belgium still hangs in the balance,
in spite OF the Unfortunate events at
Namur."
