OF
 THE GREAT HUN
 FORTRESS METZ
(Encyclopedia Britannica)

Metz Is town and first class fortress on the Moselle river at the junction of the Seille river in the province of Lorraine, of which it is the capital. It is ninety-nine miles northwest of Strassburg by rail and is at the radiation of the lines to Luxemburg. Coblenz and Noveant. The general appearance of the town is quaint and irregular, but there are several handsome modern streets. The Moselle joined by the Seille flows through 1t in several arms, and there are more than dozen bridges across the various branches of the stream. The town is walled and has ten gates. The chief industries are tanning and the manufacturing of weapons, shoes. cloth, hats and arti. ficial flowers. There is trade in wine, beer and minerals.
 As fortress Metz has always been of the highest importance and throughout history down to 1870 it had never succumbed to an enemy and thus earned for itself the name of La Pucelle. It now ranks with Strassfurt as one of the two great bulwarks of the west frontier of the German empire. The original town walls were replaced by ramparts in 1850 and the citadel was built a few years later. By 1874 the works had been constructed by Vauban. Under Napoleon III the fortress was strengthened by a circle of detached forts, which after 1870 were modi- fled and completed by the Germans, who treated the fortress as the prin- cipal pivot of offensive operations against the French. After 1900 the Germans constructed a new chain of outer forts which have greatly strengthened the fortress. The new chain extends as far as Thionville on the north side and has it's center in front of Metz.
 To the east and the west of the stronghold is an unbroken chain of hills. To the north the valley of the Moselle opens up into plain about four miles wide. Directly to the south there is the narrow valley of the Seille river. and to the southeast the narrow valley of the Moselle. The hills about the town are for the most part covered with woods. One railroad runs directly through the town along the river valley, and one line runs in northwesterly and southeasterly direction, curving about among the hills as it climbs the di. vide to either side.

lily Nearly Externinated
by Milwaukee Street Car

Mrs. E. E. Compton left Monday
noon for Milwaukee where she was
called on account of the serious ac-
,cident to her sister and family there
on the Fourth of July. Full particulars
Of the accident have not yet arrived.
Mrs. Compton knew nothing Of the
accident until she read it in the city
papers. The reason for this was that
the entire family were injured and un-
conscious most of the time and it was
sometime before the police could find
the location of relatives.
The family, Mr.. and Mrs. Winfield
R. Gaylord and three children, two
boys and a girl, were out riding on
the Fourth in their motorcycle which
had side attachment. In some
way, it was struck by a street car.
One of the boys was killed and all the
others were very seriously injured
The father and mother are
probably fatally injured, the other
boy is now considered out of danger
and the little girl sustains a broken
thigh, but will recover. As soon as
further particulars are available the
Herald will publish them.

New Tax to Take Heavy
OIL from all American
Industries and People

Washington, July 10.-Treasury de-
partment proposals for war taxes that
would put the entire nation on basis
of most rigid war economy were be-
fore the members of congress today.
The proposals, by doubling the Ii
quor, beer and tobacco taxes, meet
general approval. The suggestion that
horse-car taxes be levied on all auto
mobiles already purchased has much
opposition.
Suggestion that admission taxes to
movies be doubled while five per
cent rental tax be collected from pro-
ducers was received with disfavor as
tending to raise the price of the peo-
pies amusement too high.
In this connection strong adverse
comment was made on the suggestion
for a ten per cent tax on all leased
telegraph lines, many members de-
claring that anything tending to limit
or hamper the fullest dissemination of
news about the war and the govern
ment's war activities will have a bad
effect on the nations morale and will
interfere with Liberty loan campaigns
and will prove Of more i'll than good.
The proposed tax Of from "a to 100
per cent on the wages of household
servants was accepted as just.
Suggested taxes on hotel bills and
restaurant checks probably will be &C
cepted to conserve food.

Young Man After H.
ness of TUo Years

Fay P. Davis, the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. P. R. Davis of Long Prairie,
passed away Thursday, July 4, 1918,
after an illness of two years. Mr..
Davis was born in this city and will be
remembered by large number. He
was 81 years of age, having been
born in 1886 and is survived by his
wife and two children. Death was
due to stomach complications which
set in as result of nervous prostra-
ton and from which he suffered a
great deal. The funeral was held on
Saturday from the home of his par
ents, the Rev. Blake of the M. E.
church officiating. Mr.. and Mrs. Earl
Davis of Sank Centre attended. Mr..
Davis is brother of the deceased.

Pioneer and Well KnoWn
Willard Farmer Found
Dead Near Lake Amelia

Grin Smith of Willard, a well known
and highly respected farmer in that
community was found dead last Sat-
urday evening in his pasture near
Lake Amelia. The cause of his death
is somewhat of a mystery although
every effort is being made to discover
the truth. Mr.. Smith had left his
farm which lies half way between
Westport and Willard, in the morning
and had gone to his pasture at the
other side of Willard where he expect
ed to remain all day attending to
some important work. He had taken
his lunch with him and his death
evidently occurred in the afternoon
for the food was eaten. He was found
about seven o'clock by man who
was walking home through the past
ure. Mr.. Smith was lying on his right
side in brush clump; his hand was
under his cheek and there were no
marks aside from few bruises on
his side to indicate violent: death.
However, broken strap hanging to
tree to which colt had been tied,
also the broken tongue to the wagon
and missing horse gave reason to
believe that there had been run
away. It is conjectured that Mr.. Smith
was either thrown from the wagon
and received internal injuries which
resulted in immediate death, or that
he had died Of heart failure. y
The deceased was 60 years OF age.
He leaves wife, daughter and a
married son living in Minneapolis.
The funeral was conducted Tuesday
afternoon from the farm home. A
large number of Sank Centre friends
attended.

Take Stearns county for instance.
This county casts normally about 5000
votes of which 5000 are democratic.
In the election the total democratic
vote was cut to 400 and Lindbergh re-
ceived 1896 votes. Which shows if
it shows anything that the democrats
there voted almost solidly for Lind
bergh. In that strong democratic
county, Lindbergh won out over Burn
quist by a large majority, the Burn
quist vote being only the normal and
usual republican vote. Take the
strong democratic county of Carver.
The normal democratic vote in this
county is $500. In the primary only
1876 democratic ballots were cast and
Lindbergh received the balance or
2,286. In this strong democratic coun-
ty Burnquist was defeated two: to one.
You can go right down the line and
where the known democratic votes
were, the Lindbergh majorities were
heavy. Take in our own county, for
example. Long Prairie township is
the strongest democratic town in the
county normally. In the primary cleo
ton, only z democratic ballots were
cast, Lindbergh getting the rest of
them. He beat Burnquist over two
to one. Burnquist got only the nor
NAL republican vote in the precinct,
&c. The facts are that if everybody
but republicans could have been kept
out of the republican primaries, Lind
bergh would never have known he
was running.-Long Prairie Leader.

as the Hagenbeck-W allace shows IS

Three special trains are utilized TO

What the Imperial German govern
ment offered the farmers OF America
in its ruthless submarine warfare WAS
not the loss OF profits. but slavery to
the sAber-rattler OF Potsdam. He pur-
posed to make Us slaves BY murder
ing the people who took our products
to market. BY all the laws OF civil
tied warfare, commerce under a neu-
tral nag was free from any hindrance
except the legal interference Justified
by war. But the Germans not only
stopped merchant vessels. they sank
them. Sank them without warming
without trace--the most degiiish
thing war has seen since the sayages
scalped our ancestors and threw
screaming babies into the flames Of
burning cabins.
The German plan OF sinking mer-
chant vessels without trace is based
on the marderer's maxim that dead
