the Times says II is one of those in

There Is undoubtedly some slight
feeling among the Belgians that they

north, but We cannot believe the Bel
gians did less than their duty, and we
expect to hear that they were attacked
by overpowering numbers.
THE possession of Namur was vital
for Germany and 1t was a fine stroke
for the Germans to have rushed the
place under the eyes of the allied
armies. We still hope and believe that
our counter offensive in the north Is
