strongly held French fortress of Ver-
dun, while the mountainous. wooded
character of the Argonne district
renders retreat due north impractic-
able. The left wing of the Ger
mans, they believe, must retreat in
a northwesterly direction.
They also cherish the hope that
the Belgians may succeed in clear

when the entire German army would
be@obliged to retreat on Luxembourg,
an operation which they liken to
the passing of a large stream
