German Invaders Intensely
Disappointed.
- Amsterdam, April" 28.-M Belgian correspondents informas me that's wholesale movement of German troops is taking place in Belgium, partly towards the Yser front and partly eastwarde, the latter presumably for the Care pathians. The German garrison
at Malines has been reduced-to- forty-two men, and `many of the forts in North Belgium have been totally abandoned, with the ex" caption of one sentry in each case: The sentry posts on the frontier Lave been reduced to a minimum.
The correspondent confirms the- statement that in a number of cities, including Antwerp, Malines, Namur, and Charleroi, the German military authorities have officially asked the Burgomaster measures they would take for the protection of German lives and property in the event of the Ger man Army withdrawing from Belgium.
Intense disappointment prevails. Police Reserve Orders issued amongst the Grmen authorities in Belgium at the failure of the last attempt on Ypres,” where-an to-day state:
ffensive morement hüd-bsah promised on each a scale as would are the way for Calais. It in now doubted whether the Ger" mana will ever again resuma "the"
officers in Belgium to remain on endesoy among the German fensive, as there is said to to a
