extending southwest from Na-

The Ardennes is a thickly
wooden and hilly district, cross-
ed by many streams. The ad-
vantage of the defenders is
enormous, and this fact is suf-
ficient in itself to account for
the German success against the
two French armies.

ly drove the third allied force
out of the Meuse-Sambre angle,
thus completing the German vic-
tory. The mystery of Namur's
fall is removed if the Germans
used against it a mass assault
