GERMANY CARRIES WAR INTO FRANCE

Smashes Across Border in Attempt to Crack Maginot Line; Holland Is Pierced by Swiftly Moving Columns. (Continued from Page One)

Belgium, passing eastward of Antwerp, Louvain and Brussels and near Namur, thence to the French border north of Charleville Mezieres. This was a front of about 100 miles. | In addition, there was a front of about 50 miles in. northern France, stretching from Charleville Mezieres to near Longwy, at the corner of the Belgian, Luxembourg and French borders. | Thus the battle developed along a total front of about 150 miles, with the greatest part of the scattered fighting field sill in Belgium, where the war of movement was still in progress and where it was uncertain whether the Allies could dig in in time to stabilize the fighting front. Dispatches from Allied sources confirmed much of the Success claimed by the German High Command, but said that tremendous Allied power was being thrown into the struggle between modern mechanized armies and air fleets. |

The spearhead of the attack consisted of columns of Ger-| man mechanized forces and vast] waves of airplanes. | “The French have halted the Ger- | man assaults,” a military spokes-| man said. | He said the main assault on Se- | dan was made by a great swarm of German troops supported by two mechanized divisions, which vanced rapidly yesterday through | the Ardennes Forest section of Bel-| gium, in the Belgium-France-Lux- | embourg corner.

BRITISH ARMY CIRGLES DOUBT LIEGE IS TAKEN

Military Quarters Say Result Of Great Belgian Battle Soon Will Be Known.

LONDON, May 14 (U. P.).—Brit=ish, French and Belgian armies are covering Brussels, the Belgian capital, in the early stage of a great battle. the result of which will take two or three days to determine, British military circles said today. British military circles said that the situation in south Holland, where strong German attacks were being pressed, “undoubtedly was serious.” In Belgium, where the British and French were co-operating with the Belgians, big things were happening, the British said. Uncertain About Liege

It was possible that Liege now had been isolated, British military circles said, but that would not necessarily mean that Liege had fallen. Radio Brussels broadcast an interview by the Brussels newspaper Soir with Belgian Minister Henrj Denis in which he said that the military situation in Belgium was not at all in accordance with the claims of the Germans. “I can assure you that Brussels is not threatened at all,” Danis was quoted as saying. “All military movements of the Allies are proceeding methodically and in come plete order.” Other reports from Brussels this morning indicated that it had been reasonably quiet there since the start of the German invasion Fri day and that there had been no further aerial bombardments of the city. Warn Against Optimism

British military circles said it was
