continuation OF the war would have
been impossible. Referring to this
production OF iron in the regions men-
toned. they said:
Had this been disturbed. the war
would have been as good as lost"
They added that the security OF the
empire In "a future war necessitated
possession Of all iron fields in French
Lorraine. and the fortresses OF Long
way and Verdun. without which this
region could not be defended.
Shortly after this the great and un-
successful drive on Verdun was begun.
When Uncle Sam has a giant army
In France, undoubtedly. Lorraine will
see some tall fighting. II is signifi-
cant that American troops are in
trenches along the Lorraine sectors.
They are learning the ground.
The fortress city of Metz is probably
a German Verdun. but 1t might be pos
sible to penetrate into Lorraine and
flank Metz, so that eventually It would
be cut off and surrounded.
An American advance into Lorraine
over a sector as wide as Hindenburg
won In his recent drive for Amiens
would cut OF the Kaiser from iron for
guns and shells-and iron crosses
and would be a potent factor toward
ending the war.

DIR. GORDON IN PRAISE
OF OUR STARRY flag
Sermon Following Flag Dedication
CLOVIS with Patriotic Fervor.

A flag dedication marked the morn
ing services at the First Congrega-
tional Church yesterday. and Rev.
James L. Gordon, the pastor. paid a
glowing tribute to the Stars and
Stripes, saying in part:
"The American nag, in design and
artistic effect, Is the most beautiful
national ensign which enriches the
sky. 1t stands for a new dramatic
tendency in history-142 years Of glori-
GUS events and splendid incidents.
''The American nag is the nearest
approach to a world flag which his
tory has produced. 1t floats over a
nation of nations and IL the national
standard Of a united people: One flag.
one land, one heart, one hand, one
nation everpore.' No North, no
South. no East no West. but one great
land with freedom blest'
"ris but an old piece of bunting.
'Tis but a colored rag:
But thousands have fought for It's
honor,
Ana shed their best blood Tor the
nag!
For the first time In history the
American flag has been planted on
the battlefields Of Europe by an army
in mental mold and moral might the
most magnificent the world has ever
seen.
1T Is not the enemy Of any other
nag. There 10 no hate in its folds,
no envy in its stars, no meanness in
its stripes. no cruelty in its red, no
death IN its white. no abnormal am
bition In its blue.
The American flag is the banner
Of victory. 1t has never known de-
feat; 1t has never gone down In his
honor; 1t has never trailed in the dust
1T Is our flag, and to sustain 1t in
purity and honor we will pledge the
last dollar and sacrifice the last man. :"

The Washington herald., 1918-05-13

There are men in the American War
Department who hope to see American
troops some day drive eastward from
Verdun into that portion OF Lorraine
now held by the enemy. They believe
that at one stroke this would Of itself
almost end the war.
The reason is: IRON ORE SUPPLY.
When the Germans took part Of old
Lorraine from the French In 1870 they
took some Of the finest iron ore beds
In the world. They left to the French
the ore In Longway and Briey, and
neutral Luxembourg had the rest. A
few days after the present war was
declared. Hun troops marched into
French Lorraine and Luxembourg, get
ting possession Of all this iron.
A drive thirty-five miles eastward
from Verdun would rob the Germans
OF three-fourths OF their visible iron
supply. That would ruin them. This
Is no mere theory.
In March, 1915, q deputation repre-
senting six Of the most powerful in
dustrial organizations In Germany i'm
pressed upon the chancellor the i'm
portance of holding Lorraine. They
pointed out that the manufacture OF
shells and guns had required vast
Quantities Of iron and steel, and that
II production had not been doubled,
