Some Interesting Details About the Great Fort ress Being Bombard-
 ed by. Tanks.
ON THE MOSELLE RIVER
Place. Always Has Played An Important Part in History of the Old
 World.

Metz, now under command of the American guns, is first class fort ress and the Episcopal see of Ger many, and the capital of Lorraine on the Moselle river, 99 miles north west of Strassburg by rail, and at the radiation of lines to Luxemburg, Coblenz, and Noyeant, on the French frontier.
 Before war times the general ap- pearance of the town was quaint and irregular. but having several handsome streets. The Moselle joined here by the Seille, flows through it in several arms and is crossed by 14 bridges,
 Metz has ten city gates, interesting of structure and built as early as 1445. Several noteworthy ecclesies- tical edifices are in Metz, the most beautiful of which is the Roman Catholic Cathedral begun in the 18th
 century.
 As a fortress, Metz has always
 been of the highest importance and
 throughout history down to 1870 it had never succumbed to an enemy thus earning for itself the name of
 La pucelle. It now ranks with Strass burg as one of the two great bull
 warks of the west frontier of Ger
 many The original town walls wers replaced by ramparts in 1850, and the
 citadel was built a few years later
 By 1874 the works had been re constructed by Vauban. Under Ma l ooleon H. the fortress was strength ,ned by a circle of detached forts which, after 1870 were modified and | completed by the Germans, who
 reated their fortress as the princi pal pivot of offensive operations 'gainst France. Metz was described by Ceasar as
 ,ne of the most important and old ,st towns in Gaul. The Romans
 recognizing it's strategical import
 nee. fortified it, and supplied fl with water by an imposing aquednc md connected it with military roads
 with the most important cities sur rounding it.
 In the middle of the 5th Century
 Metz was plundered by the Huns
 inder Attila. Subsequently it be
 came the possession of the Franks
 In S43. Metz became the capital O
 Lorraine. Metz acquired the privi
 leges of free imperial town in tht
 18th Century and soon attained grea
 commercial prosperity.
 1 Metz was formally ceded to France n 1648 at the peace of Westphalia with Toul and Verdun
 By the peace of Frankfort on the 10th day of May, 1871, Metz agair l ,ecame German territory
