Authoritative
British
sources
said
that
the
main
German
attack
on
the
lowlands
was
developing
as
expected
with
an
attempt
to
drive
a
wedge
between
the
Belgian
and
Dutch
armies.
There
were
many
indications,
not
necessarily
military,
these
sources
said,
that
the
Nazis
"will
stake
almost
everything
on
the
attempt
to
win
this
war
quickly."
LONDON,
May

With
Brussels
and
Antwerp
their
evident
Immediate
objectives,
the
Nazi
invaders
of
Belgium
are,
with
redoubled
violence,
laying
siege
to
Liege
and
Namur
which
in
the
First
Great
War
were
similarly
the
scene
of
bloody
engagements.
In
1914
it
took
the
Germans
six
days
and
cost
them
forty
thousand
men
before
they
were
finally
able
to
take
the
citadel
of
Leige
whkh
is
abontflfty
miles
from
Brussels.
(
German
mechanized
columns
and
tanks
were
effectively
held
up
and
the
enemy
lost
many
tanks,
the
Allies
claim.
In
spite
of
Allied
claims
of
a
successful
defence,
the
Germans
declared
that
they
had
entered
Liege
and
have
crossed
the
Meuse
River.
Successful
attacks
by
land
and
air
against
the
Nazi
invasion
of
Belgium
and
Holland
were
claimed
on
behalf
of
the
Allies,
the
advance
with
motorized
units,
supported
by
aircraft,
continuing
as
planned.
At
Amsterdam
the
Netherlands
command
announced
that
forces
were
making
strategic
retreats
under
pressure
but
still
held
the

However,
at

it
was
announced
that
