If the attack should fa 1 the Ger man forces would run a very great risk of being cut off jmpletely from their base. To sum up the pos tion The French forces in southern Alsace are very strong and their disposit on is very favorable. No German attack is probable there In Lorra no an attack with an Immense body of troops may be made along the Belgian frontier A German attack by vergr large forces is eipected beginning today The bombardment of Namor by the heaviest s ege guns in the German army lnd cates that the invaders need a broad road into France for nearly 2 000 000 men The roads near Charleroi or between be-tween Namur and Laege are wide enough for troops to pasB in column of fours On these roads a single German army divis on of 40 000 men with the r bat tenes of siege guns an ammunit on train and the inevitable baggage train would make a line twenty one miles long from the vanguard to the rear guard. As at least eighteen German army corps are invading France the diff culty and the delay and the need of the broad h ghway now guarded by the Liege and Xamnr forts is obvious |
