 At Metz the Germans have con- structed twenty eight great forts which are so located as to command all approaches and, at the same time capable of concentrating their fire on any one fort which happens to be en- tered by the allies.
 Northwest of Metz is the great iron field of Briey. The importance of this iron deposit has compelled the Ger mans to convert the whole country there into a veritable fortress. This line runs along the boundary between France and Germany, bending to the northeast until it reaches the Luxem- burg line. If this belt should be pierced, the Germans may fall back to the Saarbruecken and Kaiserslautern regions, which are interspersed by rivers and high wooded hills, which lend themselves admirably to defen- sive operations.
 Coblentz Key to Germany
 East of LuXemburg. it is reported, the Germans have devoted a great deal of time and labor to the construction of permanent Notifications
 The country along the Belgian iron tier. between Luxemburg and Holland is dominated by Coblenz, which Mar shal Foch considers the key to Ger many. In this area is Bonn, a fortress of the first class; Cologne, which is protected by a broad belt of entrench- ments; and a series of strongholds running along the western side of the Rhine until that river passes into Holland
 Should the three lines mentioned be broken. or if the allies should break through between Metz ana the Swiss frontier, the Germans would be con- pelled to fall back into Germany prop CT or to the south, to cross the Rhine This historic river is really the western moat of the Teutonic castle. Its whole eastern bank is strongly fortified and would be capable of a .protracted de- fense. This line of resistance begin. at Lahr and runs down the Rhine through Offenburg, Rastatt, Karlsruhe Mannheim, Darmstadt, Wiesbaden Bendorf, Kalk. Densburg and Wesel.
 Shorten Line Seventy Miles
 In their retirement from their pres: ent positions, the Germans will be able to shorten their lines materially and lluS increase lne NuHlDer Ol lneT available for resistance on the new fronts. The HunGing line is abou seventy miles shorter than the Hind. enburg system. The line of the Mouse would shorten the front by twenty miles more, while the Germans, if they should retire to their own frontier would be able still to shorten theil front by thirty-five miles.
 This shortening of the line will bt of tremendous importance in future operations by the allies. It would make up, to a large degree, for the heavy losses inflicted upon the Ger. mans during the campaign of the pas summer and give them man power tha would be a formidable barrier to al | allied advance.
 The Mouse, the Aisne and thu | Scheldt rivers, and the canals in Bel | gium in the vicinity of Brussels an( | Antwerp, will also pe valuable ad | juncts to the conduct of defensiv, | fighting by the Germans. With the de velopment of the tank, as an offensiv, weapon, river as a first defense lin, adds tremendously to the strength O | their positions.
