SECOND LINE ESTABLISHED ON
EAST BANK OF MEUSE

The second line known as the line
Of the Mouse, is established on the
Eat bank of the Mouse River, north
ward from Dun. 1t passes Sedan
and Mezieros and enters Belgium just
to the Southwest Of Dinant. At Ma
muir it leaves the river and runs to
Brussels, continuing on to Antwerp,
where it joins the "Hunding line"
and continues on tho Dutch frontier.
The third line is the original de-
fensc zone along the German from
tier. South Of Metz it Is centered
around the thirty-seVen permanent
forts about Strassburg. 1t runs
over the high and precipitous hills
on the Nosges Mountains and is sew
eral miles deep.
At Metz tho Germans have con-
strnctcd twenty eight great forts,
which are so located rs to command
all approaches and, at the same time
capable OF concentrating their fire on
any one fort which happens to be
entered by the allies. Northwest of
Metz is the great iron field OF Briey.
The Importance of this iron deposit
has compelled the Germans to con
vert the whole country there into a
vcritablc fortress. This line runs
"Aoitt VIC boullNttiI bCl"cCl
and Germany, bending to the North
cast until it reaches the Luxembourg
line.
If this belt should be pierced the
Germans may fall back to the Xaar-
bruccken and Kaiserslautcrn regions
which are interspcrsed by rivers and
high wooded hills which lend them
selves admirably to defensive opera
tons. East of Luxembourg 1t is re
ported tho Germans have devoted a
great deal Of time and labor to the
construction Of permanent fortifica-
lions.
The country along the Belgian
frontier between Luxembourg and
Holland is dominated by Coblcnz.
which Marshal Foch considers the
key to Germany. In this area is
Bonn, a fortress OF the first class;
Cologne, which is protected by a
broad belt Of intrenchment, and Il
series Of strongholds running along
the Western side of tho Rhine until
that river passes into Holland.
