Paris, May 14.
The military situation in Belgium hardly varied at all yesterday. The German advance guards, after their big bound forward of nearly 100 miles, are evidently waiting for the main German forces.
The Germans have made rapid progress with large forces and armoured columns in the Belgian Ardennes. They have been opposed by French mechanized cavalry and Belgian chasseurs, but late yesterday afternoon, German advance guards reached the Meuse at a number of points.
Further German forces continued to arrive throughout the night, and they have probably now reached the river at all crossing points. The spearhead of the German drive in this region is towards Sedan, and most armoured units had been directed towards this town. These met French advanced units yesterday near Sedan, and there was an extremely sharp engagement.
German units were backed by low-flying aircraft and artillery.
A secondary German drive is being were made towards Dinant.—Havas.
