IHE DECAY OF METZ The French in
habltants of Metz evidently do not take
kindly to German rule. A German
census lately taken shows that the popu-
lntlon since the war has diminished about
$4,000. Before the conflict with Ger
many Metz had population of At, 900,
and reduction of that number by one
third makes very perceptible difference
In tho prosperity of the city. 1t is not
probable that the decrease is going to
stop here. Neither can it be expected
that the gap thus occasioned will be sup
Piled by German emigration. The Ger
man emigrant, as rule, desires more
staple home than that which can be af-
forded him in the newly acquired terri
tory, and the United States holds out
more substantial inducements to hiu to
emigrate than residence on French soil.
BESIDES, 1t is not quite 80 certain that
France will not, within few years, make
an attempt to reclaim all she bas lost in
