Although the German army is max
ing the most desperate effort in the
wars history to prevent the Ameri-
cans from breaking through in the
vital Verdun sector, it is equally or
more fearful that there may be a
breach endangering Metz, with the
consequent necessity Of abandoning
all the territory still occupied and

self west of Verdun. But it is with
an deliberately strong trench system,
with rows of barbed wire and even
electrified wire, that he has been
feverishly working during the past
few weeks to make Metz invulner-
able. The system has been laid out,
roughly, between Pont-a-Mousson,
Avricourt and the River Seille. with
parallel front from Cheminot to Vic.
Five Parallel Trenches.
The enemy's activity first showed
itself between Chateau Salins and
Moyenvic, where no less than five
parallel trenches have been con-
structed and three on the reverse side
of the slopes. The greater part of
this system has only recently been
completed. Two additional lines in
the rear have already been planned
and traced out and a double system
of dugouts and machine gun emplace-
ments has been prepared. This posi-
ton is continued in the direction of

Reserve Zone in Lorraine.
The Germans nave created a great
reserve zone in Lorraine, through
which civilians. unless they have au-
thorization, may not pass. They also
have transformed a part of Alsace
into a great intrenched camp, in which
carefully prepared defensive positions
will make up for their lack in human
material.
1t is known that the Germans have
expected a liaison attack by American
and French troops against the Ger
man left wing. Their anxiety was
shown in the following declaration
printed by the Frankfort Gazette in
recent issue:
The situation has become noticea-
bly, difficult. 1t is most tense on our
left wing from the strategic as well
as the tactical point of view. One
must regard with all seriousness the
increasing gravity of the situation in
the region of Vouziers, because the
entente has succeeded in obtaining
considerable advantages in the center
between the Scheldt and the Cambria
canal in their formidable attempts to
pierce our line"
