AS MAN TO MAN
ANOTHER BOY
 GOES OFF TO WAR

It fell to the newspaper mans lot to be down at the Osborn station the
 other night when a Warren mother
 bade her boy goodbye as he started on his way to the war in France. He
 was game. that boy. and the mothel
 was as brave as any Yankee sergeant
 that fought along the Marne. Sle
 kissed tho boy Goodbye, son." sle said. and there vas only a little brsak
 in he voice. The boy mounted the
 nrst step or tkc car and the Pullman 1 porter reached for his little porhble step to set it aCoard. Then le strsight- ened up. ~uot another minute yet,
 s-n, L sid nth a cheerful grin. The boy descended from the car and began tO talk again with certan of ms friends who had also come thus
 lar to see him off upon his long jour ! Iuey. Then the engine whistle sMilled | last warning. The boy turned in- stincuvely tO his mother. "Ol, my boy, she exclaimed, this time with a sad break in her voice. And they
 
 4 ney tried to speak but his voice was l lost in hOarse murmur in his throat i One last convulsive embrace and the
 boy was on the step of the moving car and the mothers arms were empty.
 Brave. that motheri She was as
 brave as any Honess. She straightened up suddenly and threw back her heas
 with a pitiful smile and waved her hand to the slender form on the car steps "Godspeed." she cried with never a break in her steadfast. earn est tones.
 The mother turned to a woman friend by her side. "Oh, but it's hard 70 give up your only boy" she mur- mured. The newspaper man did not get the wOman's reply but he heard the mother say: "I suppose am very selfish. after all. Who am l that 1 should keep my boy while a million mothers lose their boys in the cloud of the Great War" And with head heid high she walked with firm step Go the car: walked as finely and as intrepidly as her boy will some day walk to the front trenches where the bright face of danger shines.
 The newspaper man was thoughtful as he drove back home. The news paper dispatches and the special cor Iesp-ndents' stories and the histor- lans detailed accounts will never set forth all O1 the real sacrifices and courage of the Great War. The art ists' battle pictures will not show it all. Down at Osborn the other night m the dim glare of a station lamp a mothers arms held a boy that they cTadled often in the long ago; held him for a moment in all his youthful strength and verve, and then released him; empty armsi Who can tell the story of a mothers arms and her first born male childi Who can paint the picture or sing the song or breathe the verses of this thing The bands play, the streets thrOng. the train moves off. the ship leaves the slip. the crowds cheer, the soldier boy goes away to war. All these scenes and emotions we can present in picture and in story. But those empty mother arms!

It is now stated upon authority, that General Allenby's Palestine victory was scored over an army of some one hundred thousand Turks. This IS a much larger force than that of the British victors Allenby' S great victory will make much easier the task of the army of Mesopotania, for in addition to its moral effect. it will compel the Turkish command to assemble troops to defend Aleppo, the gate city from the east into Turkey proper. This means that the Turkish forces operating in Mesopo- tania must fall back quickly to meet the British in Palestine who will be practically unopposed in their march northward to- wards Aleppo until fresh forces can be brought from Turkey.

A cordon of forts surrounds it.
 Its capture by the allies will be a
 body blow to Germany. It was Tn
 this city, by an odd coincidence,
 that Marshal Bazaine of the before it in 1865. But through all these attacks, thanks to it's stout walls, the place preserved its independence as a frontier stronghold. It's innue- pendence was so pronounced that 1t eyaded it's imperial tax obligations. On April 10, 1852, Henry II took formal possession Of the city in the name of France. and the Duke of Guise strengthened the Qualifications. In 1914 Nauban, most famous or military ensi- neers, made it the best fortified city in Europe. VauDan's walls and forts were strengthened from time to time. and m nlS30 were thoroughly restored and modernized. At the beginning Of the Franco-German war the town was the principal bulwark of the north eastern nirontier of France.
 The Ring Of Steel and Stone
 The strength of the town consists in its exterior defenses. a cOTdon of forts of massive construction, heavily armed and so disposed as to sweep with their projectiles every yard Of the territory within range. Since the German occupation in 1871 these defenses have been still further strengthened and given important aG- ditiOns
 Metz in it's ring of masonry had withstood the attacks of dukes and archbishOps and kings and adventur- CTS - and at least one empernr-Du. it fell before the modern artillery of the German invaders of 1S70-11. At the beginning of the war the city was the rendezvous of the Third army corps under Marshal Zazaine. After the disastrous fight at Grave

When the costs of the war are presented in rough, raw, resounding figures they are so big that they become meaningless. It IS by contrast and comparison that we ar rive at an estimate or conception of what they truely are. For instance, the seven teen billions that Uncle Sam alone has spent in the seventeen months he has been in the war represents sum four times that of the entire cost of the four years of the Civil war

French army was forced to sur render to King William of Prussia in the Franco Pru1sian war of 1870. 1t has been In German co" trol ever sinc2-
 lotte. August IS, Bazaine withdrew his army into Metz and was besieges 2 there by Prince Frederick Charles Cl Prussia and his Germans. The siege lasted until October 27, when Bazaine surrendered. The prisoners taken in- cluded GO01 officers and 170,0O0 men. By the treaty Ol Frankfort the city became a German possession.
 In what i5 called the Northern cemetery of Metz is a memorial col umn which rises above the 5000 Frenchmen who fell in defense of the city-giving their lives in the vain attempt to stay the German invading horde.
 The Lesson nof It's Fall
 The fall of Metz, whose defenses had been the work of the builders of twenty centuries. was. a staggering blow to the France of nearly a half century ago. It clearly proved that no defense5, however strengthened, could withstand the pounding of modern siege artillery. The same lesson was shown in the German as sault on nthe Qualifications of Liege- which proved merely a temporary ob- stacle in the invaders pathway.
 The Metz of today is a city in LOT raine of about S0,0O0 soUls-not in cluding the German garrison. It is on the blue Mosclle. thirty-three miles north of Nancy. The town has one great building which towers above all others. This is the cathe- dral Of St Stephen. a Gothic strue- tuIe of the fourteenth century, whose open-work spire rises 36S feet above the street level
Bisbee daily review., 1918-09-29

The American advance in LOT raine is rapidly nearing the stronghold of Metz. The American patrols are within sight of the spire of St. Stepn- ems.
 That it can withstand a siege as long as did the Metz of 1870, when the ill-fated Bazaine and his army corps held off the Germans for sev- enty days, is not to be believed. The defenses may have been improved, but they haven't kept pace with the increased destructability of the mod ern heavy guns.
 When the Americans enter through the jagged breaches in the stout walls they will find themselves in a town whose history covers twen- ty centuries.
 The Romans called it DivCdurum, and as it was the junction point of their military roads, they fortified it. This was before the Christian era. The town blocked the attacks of the earlier Huns. and in the fifth century it passed into the hands of the Franks, when it's first Christian house of worship was built. Charles the Bold was crowned in Metz, and Louis the Pious was buried there. In S43 Metz was the capital Of the kingdom of Lorraine.
 Metz Continually Threatened
 Those fortified walls were a chip on the towns shoulder. Metz was tb-oo+a,od br- v,-orrfrg d,,l--c and bishops and swashbuckling adven- turers-including a band Of English who clashed their swords

centers of Texas. 1t has the famous
McCleskey well, which is one OF the
greatest wells in the Southwest and
now the Walker No. /, which has here.
tofore been styled n gasser, began
about two weeks ago to show signs OF
becoming an oiler, and recently began
throwing oil over the derrick, and is
gaining in production every hour. It is
hard to estimate the production, as the
gas pressure is so great that it throws
much oil in the air, besides two two.
inch pipes run from the well to the
fifteen other rigs and Of course much
oil is carried of with the gas. It has
been estimated all the way from $50 to
500 barrels per day, but if the total pro
duction could be saved it probably would
be somewhere near 200 barrels daily
This opens up or proves all territory
north and south Of town. One piece of
property that could have been pur.
chased for $4,000 on good terms six
months ago sold for $4,000 cash
Another thing that helps to put
Ranger on the map as an oil center is
the fact that il is to have big oil re-.

333O,OOO less than was realized at the
November sale Not all Of the tracts
were sold.
The Prairie Oil and Gas Company was
not bidder at this sale, although this
company has been conspicuous in the
bidding at previous sales.
The largest price paid was $227 600
for 100 acres in section 2624.S by the
Doherty interests; the next largest price
was $4,000 by the same bidders. Prop
