Metz and it's defenses;

The German fortress of Metz which
is now under fire Of the big guns of the
American First army, is believed to be
the greatest stronghold on the western
front. German prisoners recently taken,
however. declare that the Metz fortifi-
cations are not so strong as many be-
lieve, a large number of their big guns
having been sent to Turkey and Bull
garia early in the war. The reason for
this, prisoners say. is that the Germans
never expected thrust into their own
territory.
Military experts, however, are con-
WINGED that the Metz fortress is strong
er than Liege, Namur and Antwerp,
which so easily fell before the great
German artillery and high explosives.
There the great guns were placed in
fixed concrete shelters, which became

death traps. The feature of the Metz
defense. on the other hand, is the pro-
vision for mobility of its guns and gar
riSon.
The outlying forts have been con-
nected by a great system Of roads ana
railroads, whereby men and artillery
can be quickly concentrated at any
threatened point. Heavy guns are
mounted on railroad carriages, and
their positions can be quickly changed
to deceive an enemy who might get
their range. Doubtless camOufiage has
also been brought into play.
Curiously. however. the American
army rs the best equipped. outside the
French. for the capture of Metz. The
fortress and surrounding country have
been made basis of study at the
United States war college for many
years.

December 22 d the shortest day Of
the year. for the season that the larg-
est part Of the suns course Is then
below the horizon, and the sun at mid
day Is also at the lowest point south.
From that time, the sun begins to
come back, and the days grow longer
at first very slowly, however. By a
singular discrepancy between clock
time and sun time, the sun continues
to rise later and later for nearly three
weeks after the winter solstice, while
early In December it began setting
later, and by the ed 1t set four min
utes later than at the earliest point.
This operates to make the forenoons
shorter and the afternoons longer at

The tombs Of the kings are beneath
the actual level Of the city Of Jerusa-

We know from inscriptions and Scrip
rural texts that Solomon. David and
the succeeding kings were buried with
pomp In a venerated place and certain
documents even tell rs bat histories
q their lives were placed In their
tombs. The tomb Of David which as
late a. the beginning Of the Christian

very likely beneath the mosque that

Is, to large extent. subconscious. And

factor In that spirit of enterprise and
achievement which is recognized the
