PREGNABLE

and, consequently, forbidden
ground. Tourists, with pronounced
camera tendencies have never been en-
couraged around the fortress. The
city lies in a fertile, pleasant valley
which widens out among the hills to
the north and which narrows toward
the mountainous French frontier. II
is upon the heights, the craggy hills
the passes, the gorge-broken, fir-cov-
cred, razor-back spur hills that the
powerful detached forts which guard
the city of Metz and its valley running
between France and Germany are
planted. These works have been con-
structed around the city by the score,
and they stretch in a wide, concealed
fan, more than six miles before the
outskirts of Metz.
"The city itself is situated, on the
confluence of the Seille and Moselle,
about II miles east of the French from
tier. 1t is built between the two rivers
and upon the islands of the Moselle
Much of the city is composed of mar
row, irregular streets, lined with anci-
ent, picturesque buildings. There are
some new and imposing structures in
the town, however, and some straight
streets. Even in times of peace, Metz
makes plain that its calling is war
Though it has about $4,000 civil popu-
lation, the peace garrison of $4,000
men monopolizes the attention on ev-
cry throughfare and promenade
Around the city, and within it are the
huge barracks of the soldiery.
THE country around Metz, a rise
and fall of evergreen woodlands, is
beautiful The heights and hills are
not only heavily forested, but are also
unusually broken and irregular, COM
posing a ground about as unfavorable
as possible for attacking military OPP
erations. The forts of Metz were be-
gun on a large scale by the French,
and they have been strengthened
through all their years of possession
by the Germans"

WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 2.-The
National Geographic Society has just
prepared the following statement con-
corning Metz, the objective of the
French invasion of Lorraine:
"The fortress of Metz from Roman
days has never been carried by storm.
Throughout history down to 1870 1t
successfully defied all besigers, and
the French in 1870 surrendered to
famine and disease rather than to a
pressing enemy. This almost impreg-
nable fortress has changed hands now
and again, and these changes have
been effected by treaty and treachery
and famine, but never by force of
arms. The Romans knew Metz, Divo-
durum, as the stronghold of the
gods
Metz is the capital of German Lor-
raine, and it is considered to possess
one of the most powerful fortifcations
in Europe. 1t is the pivot point in the
broken frontier dividing the Franks,
Celts and Gauls of the west and south
from the Germans of the east and
north. The centuries-long contest be-
tween Latin and German has surged
back and forth over this city, broken in
eddies around it, and the contestants
have continually regrouped with Metz
as the central point in the plans of
their opposing strategies; for Metz and
Strasburg are the two western gates to
Germany.
The Romans used Metz as their
northern base against the Germanic
barbarians, and they connected it by
military roads with Toul, Verdum, and
other camps in Roman hinterland.
From Metz, the Roman legions made
their incursions into the impentrable
Black Forest, to the east, and into the
forest and swamp lands of the north
and west. By the Treaty of Mersen, in
.S70-Metz came into possession Of
East Franconia, now Germany. 1t
rapidly gained Importance as an in
dustrial outpost city, and, in the 18th
century, was made a free Imperial
city. The Reformation, another ele-
ment of the Latin-German struggle,
ragged around Metz as a center. Dur
ing these times of religious unrest,
Metz fell into the power Of France, and
the French were confirmed in their
possession by the Peace of Westphalia
Q64S). 1t remained under French
rule until the German conquest Of
1870.
The country all about Metz is
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1915-01-02
throughout the United States.

1t has about 10000 stockholders and
100000 employees. It's issued capital
stock is nearly $35O,OO0,OOO, and is
quoted on the Stock Exchanges at
about $11S per share.
The Company makes it plain that no
employee is under any obligation TO
buy any stock but It is believed that a
considerable number of employees will
take advantage of this opportunity to
save little money every month and
invest it in the business.
