THE WAR CITIES

Metz, the capital of German Lor-.
rafie, and, one of the strongest fort
tresses in Europe, is about 100 miles
to the east of Paris, There are large
iron works in the neighborhood. The
garrison of Metz in peace times ex-
ceeds 10000. t.
The town was called Mediomatrica,
by the Romans. a name from which
the present contraction of Metz has
been. derived. The Romans recogniz-
ed the stragetical importance of the
place. fortified it and supplied it with
water by large aqueduct, the remains
of which still exist. AS a fortress
Metz has always been of the highest
importance, and now ranks with
Straasburg az one of the two great
bulwarks of the defense of the Ger
man frontier. Under Napoleon III the
fortress was strengthened to meet the
demands of modern warfare, and
since 1871 the Germans have spared
neither time nor money in completing
and perfecting the Notifications.

~ CCORDING to the official

the allied armies in France

From July Is to Sept. 80,

have been at least SEQ eco,
says the New York World.
The alliesin respect to men
have more than redressed the
balance of the severe losses in
flicted upon them earlier by
the Germans, beginning March
21. In less than four months.
according to the Germans
statements, they captured over
$4,000 prisoners, French,
British, Belgian, Portuguese,
Italian and American.
Assuming that since July Is
the Germans losses in killed
and wounded were offset by
equal losses on the part, of the
allies which is improbable,
during all that period Amer
lean troops have been moving
overseas at the rate Of almost
10000 a day. In three months
S46, 900 Americans were actu-
ally transported. Reinforce
ments from America have
reached the allied, armies in
numbers far more than suffi-
cient to make good all losses
they may have suffered this
year, while Germany, in vic
tory and defeat, has been stead
lily and fearfully weakened
since the 1918 campaign start
ed.
Never before have the odds
been so heavily against the
Germans in men and material
and these odds are increasing
every day.
