GERMANS CAN'T TAKE ANTWERP, IS BELIEF; TOO WELL FORTIFIED
That th« German army will not attempt to take Antwerp, the temporary
capital of Belgium, is the belief of military men. The city ia strongly forti

was Liege. Besides, Antwerp is not on the road to France from Germany.
The Germans are not attempting to conquer Belgium, but to get into
France as quickly as possible.
