FIRST is to the west of Liege in the
general direction Of Antwerp, Brus-

Germany is conducting the first two
and France the third. The object Of a

The first of the Reconnaissance is
being conducted by strong German
cavalry brigade, which according to
today's news has crossed the Meuse.
Its primary objective Is to gather Ger

The battle must be manipulated from
the ideal German standpoint, that In
case of the defeat Of the allies, they
will have to retreat Into the immense
stronghold Of Antwerp. Once inside
Antwerp, they might be locked there
for the rest Of the war. The retire

from Lege, however, Indicates that
the allies don't intend to Immure
themselves.

This reconnaissance Is more diff

because the French have two excel

way routes through Luxembourg. The
fighting reported at towns along the
