The fortified city of Metz must now
be regarded as the objective Of the
American and allied armier, whether
the drive to capture it takes place this
fall or in the spring. Therefore it Is
time to examine the military obstacle
it represents in the path Of the march
to Eerlin. l.
Metz has been a fortress since the
days of the Roman empire, and has
always been considered one OF the
strongest in Europe. Probably Paris
is the only city in Europe which is
more strongly fortified. In these days
of longrange guns Of great caliber,
there is no such thing as an impreg.
nable fortress

the American fighting men can make
any appreciate advance toward the
Rhine, AMERICAN GUNS MUST RE
DUCE THE FORTRESS OF METZ.
The country about Metz is Of high
strategic importance. and has been
forbidden ground to tourists in Ger
many for years. The city lies in a
fertile valley which widens out in the
hills to the north and narrOws toward
the French frontier. The powerful de-
tached forts which guard the city are
placed upon the heights, the forge
broken, fir-covered, razorback hills
running between France and Germany.
They surround the city at a distance
of about six miles from it's outskirts.
| Main Forts Modern.
The main forts have all been built
since 1899 Before that the fOrtifica-
lions consisted chiefly of the rebuilt
French works which had defended the
city in 1870 and few new forts, but
before 1899 it had been realized that
they were too close to the city to pro
| tect it from the new iong-range artil
lery
beginning I'm 1899 the Germans built
a new chain Of forts at an average
distance of 5000 yards from the border
of Metz The advantages of the
ground made it necessary to locate
some of the forts at a greater distance
from the city and others at a less
but the diameter of the fortress circle
is approximately IS miles. This dis
lance was needed so that the city
could not be bombarded until one OF
more of it's forts had been demolished
The chief Of. the new outer chain
of permanent forts beginning with
the right bank Of the M1selle, are

Outer Defenses Strong.

Trooper O'COnnOr, who, though an
American, won his spurs with Great
Eritain's first hundred thousand, long
before America awoke, was the stellar

cry is quick and nervous, his manner
more British than American. He
shows the effect of his terrible ex-

Trooper O Conner comes from Brook

Eagle states: /,
when the huns overran Belgium in
August. 1914, the blood of a Brooklyn
youth boiled over with indignation. In
that respect he was like many another
American. Under the whip of his
feelings he went to London at his own
expense, and enlisted in the First Life
Guards. Not content with that he al
