one of the essential resources for her

it from one of her strongest lines of
defense, known as the Mctz-Thionville
line. which borders it on the east and

Cuts Munition Output
A large section of French opinion
holds that the loss of Brey was one of
the principal causes for the length of
the war: that without the iron drawn
from it Germany would have been un-
able to keep up her supply of munitions,
There have been numerous lombard

the American army has brilliantly sig-

What has happened is that the enemy

the Americans into a precipitate flight

territory. 1t Is probable, indeed. that
they are already across the river and
