among the highly important forge-and-
foundry cities which have been brought
behind the invading German lines. The
following description of this widely famco
Industrial district was issued by the Ma
tional Geographic society to-day:
,"Charleroi, captured by the Germans
at the outbreak of the. war, was the CEN

ated in the midst of a district rich in
coal and iron. where there was an abun-
dance of cheap, thrifty. Industrious la
Dor, the little city made its products
known throughout Europe, Sotuh Amer
lea and the Near East. More than 100000
people found support in a surrounding
area of 100 square miles, while 5000 men
were employed In the factories and foun-
dries of Charleroi.
Against it's broken skyline, the smoke
of its furnace fires assembled day and
night. and close behind one another.
freight trains sped over the thick net

an amending stream of metal material
and. manufactured ware. The highly de-
veloped railway net was, however in
sufficient for the transport of the dis
tricts goods, much of which found its
markets over the canals from Chareroi
to Brussels and to Mons. thence through
the main arteries of the Schedt basin
to the port of Antwerp and to northern
France.
THE coal mines around the city were
operated at depths of 5000 feet and more.
The coal belt reaches in a long. narrow
band, northeast-soutlwest. from northern
Belgium into France. The basis of the
industry of the Charleroi district were its
smelter and iron-working factories. Here.
within two miles of the city, the iron
works of Couilet turned out one-third of
all the cast iron produced in Belgium.
Large nail factories. glass works both
for blown and plate glass and number

large increase of immigratio from north
