is easy to frame the broader outlines. Let
suggest the possibilities in concrete
example.
Consider the territory which lies be-
tween the Connecticut River and the
Thames River in Connecticut familiar to
New Workers en- route to Newport and
points beyond. The strategic points lie on
the rivers-on the Connecticut River at the
seven bridges at Lyme, Haddam, Middle
town. Hartford, Windsor Locks and Spring
field There only five places to cross
in the width Of the whole state of Connecti-
cut. Either place toll on all these bridges
at night for the night traffic sufficient to
pay for keeping the record or else keep the
record as matter of police expense From
sunset to sunrise every automobile passing
through these bridges should be halted and
their numbers should be entered on the
traffic record with some description of the
passengers. This will not interfere with the
rapid movement of local traffic regularly
using the bridges, as such traffic will be
known to the police. But it is the through
cruising traffic which occasions the most
of the trouble No new laws are needed
as the police have the right to inspect
motor and drivers licenses.

imperial master who worked here; it was
the race, expressing its purpose relentlessly
and with absolute confidence Rome re-
stored the barriers of the Rhineland against
these same barbarians, but they passed it
still again. You have the sense of two
civilizations in shock at Metz, of the Ger
man once more in retreat, but still resolved
in his inscrutabe heart to return to con-
quer, imprison and tyrannize again. The
story of Metz is the story of Alsace-Lor-
raine for half a century, of Belgium and the
north of France for four years and a half.
This, you realize in Metz as nowhere else,
the German meant to do to Paris and to
London; in time his eyes would have turned
to even wider horizons He fell short of
Paris. He never approached London, but
in Metz he has had his full will for half
century, and the thing that he is in this
world is written in every material thing. it
is written on the face of every French city
zen of Metz.

north and south, west and east, and bring
ing with his his familiar Green Man"
and learned professors with their mustv
documents to prove that Metz was German
land, while the soldier came to enforce
argument with the guns recently laid upon
Paris.
And now, after half a century, the story
OF German occupation lies open to the tray
eller. More than this, there is disclosed
clear and unmistakable evidence of what the
German meant to do to all of us in time,
perhaps still means to do, for in Metz as
nowhere else in all his conquered lands the
German expressed his soul, or his lack of
soul; his materialism, his doctrine of me-
chanical efficiency. Poor, half-strangled,
totally suppressed Metz is just beginning to
peer out from the darkness of fifty years
of German domination, to supply enduring
evidence of what the German means If
you would understand him altogether 20 to
Metz The whole story is there.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-02-16
The Metz
That Died

And this is the story as you find it. Re-
member Metz Of 1870, little French town
huddled about its charming cathedral, lean
ing on the banks of It's Moselle canals, pict-
uresque, quaint, unsanitary, impregnable to
progress or to the new doctrine Of efi-
cheney, beautiful alike in site, in surround
ings, beautiful itself as all French pro-
visional towns are, but beautiful with the
spirit and atmosphere which came up in re-
mote times from the Mediterranean.
Now, by contrast, the traveller who comes
to Metz finds this: First of all, he arrives
at the railroad station which, to the Ameri-
can, will suggest St. Louis or Kansas City,
the Union Station of any one Of our great
American cities stretching block on block
IN towering and colossal ugliness, q station
adequate for the needs of a city of half a
million inhabitants bestowed upon a town
of little more than fifty thousand.
And mile on mile, in ali directions. be-
hind the FACADE Of structure done in the
familiar armory architecture of the latter
period of Grover Cleveland or earlier period
of William Mckinley, stretch endless tracks
and structures, all colossal, and vast crea-
ton surmounted by statue Of Roland,
bearing the personal features of recent
German Governor.
From the station one comes into broad
