New York. May 2,-"An appalling

Worse than the strain on the hos

last week there has hardly been a day
when the newspapers have not
choronicled attacks on shops or as

FRENCH B MBARDiNG
FORTRESS OF METZ

Paris. May 2.--The French have
established long-range guns in the vi
entity of their line at Pont-a- Mousson
and are bomharding the southern for
tifications at Metz. which are about
ten miles away. The bonn bardment
began yesterday and was resumed to-
day. The gunfire, says the Official
night communique, caused consider
able damage at various points along
the southern front OF the fntrenched
camp at Metz. particularly in the case
of one OF the forts. probably Fors st.
Blaise. and at the barracks and the
nearby railway.
Metz is the site OF one of Germany'A
most formidable fortifications. II
consists OF a series OF single forts. or
units. which surround the. city at
various strategic points. Fort ST.
Blaise. which is the most southern in
the chain. is about five miles from the
center of the city and about ten mileA
from the nearest French trenches at

New York. May 2.-Raps at those
who are attempting to make political
capital out of the military unprepared-

in letter sent today to members of
the American League to Limit Arma-
ments. in which they are asked TO di-
rect public attention to such efforts.
Colonel Roosevelt and the Navy League
come in for censure.
Tn letter says that the prepared
ness issue is undoubtedly being used
to further political ends. and says:
Several politicians have, indeed.
been very frank about 1t. For instance,
Representative Gardner says: six
