DEMONSTRATION IN METZ

when local association called La Lorraine Spor-

sooner had NJ Samain the president, arisen to
make an address of welcome in French than an
inspector of police and eight constables took pos
session of the stage and announced that the con-
cert could not be held because it was a public
meeting and contrary to law
There were loud protests, but in vain. Samain
and the leader of the orchestra were arrested
but the musicians went on playing They played
the "Marche Sambre ct Meuse" which is French
air. The trumpets sounded French fanfares The
police ordered the audience to dispense; instead
1t hooted the police and shouted give la Lor-
ra1ne!" Finally it marched out singing the Mar
seillaise," the trumpets still playing

The police endeavored to get full list of mem
bers OF La Lorraine Sp0rtive, but failed One al

struction of the project was autk.sr-
lied by congress on May 10, 1904, at

From an engineering standpoint the
Belle Fourche project is one Of tho
most interesting which the goyern-
ment has yet undertaken. Ito pYsncf-
pal structure is the earthen dam.
This wonderful dixie, which closes the
lowest depressions in the rim of q nat
ural basin, Is $500 feet long. 20 feet
wide on top and lis feet high in the
highest place.
The inside face Of this structure:
which has slope Of two to one, win

this dixie will be 42,7O0,0o0 cubic feet
or about half Of the famous pyramid
Of Cheops. The reservoir created BY
this dam will cover about 5000 acres
and will be the largest lake in the
