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.

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., 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-

familiar armory architecture of the latter
period of Grover Cleveland or earlier period

German Governor.

The Creeping
German Disease

And year after year you can mark this
progress, you tell the age of an oak by
its circles The French inhabitants crept
back further and further into the heart of
their old town, rallied about the cathedral
as a broken regiment rallies about its
colors. German magnificence left the
French heart cold, German buildings drove
the French structures from the face of the
earth, German officers crowded French men
and women into the streets. The city grew
and fourished but the German never came
at the heart of France.
Yes, year by year the French disappeared
The old died and their bodies and the bones
of their ancestors were borne across the
frontier to be buried in French soil; young
men, as they reached the military age, fed
across the frontier to wear the French uni
form. There were $4,000 French in Metz
when the German came; there were less
than 10000 when he left and year by year
German officers, professors, soldiers and
merchants flowed into Metz. They walked
its streets with the abiding sense of being
conquerors, and each year on the annver-
sary Of the battles of 1870 the town was
tagged and filled with Germans come to
celebrate the conquest.
Beyond the city on hills toward Franco
where great battles were fought the Ger
mans filled the fields with monuments; the
earth fairly groans under the burden Of
lions and tigers and princes and generals,
all testimony to the superior German great
ness, each monument, like buildings on the
square, instinct with the true German spirit
Of essential ugliness and undeniable eff
cheney. "We are g. superior race" This
even the German graves on the battlefield
seem to clamor forth.
Even moro the Germans did. They be-
gan the task of restoring the cathedral and
on the portal they placed figures of the
prophets, and one has the face of Willia1
II, although it purports to be- repre-
sentation of the prophet Daniel.
This restless desire to express their
might, their pride, finds no more significant
expression than in this restoration of the
ancient cathedral, restoration expressed in

more than a hopeless getaway America
has no room for hothouse development of
these classes of urban banditti, who, un-
mounted, practise bolshevki economists
IN city streets or move in faster circles as
auto-apaches over our good roads systems.
In the science of criminology, the latter
situation constitutes new danger to So
ciety which is caused solely by the COM
paratively new invention of the automo-
bile. The whole world remembers the
dastardly crimes of the French auto
apaches who were finally shot to death
some years ago. The recent robbery of
Brooklyn savings bank was successful
through the automobile getaway. 1t is a
strange corollary of brilliant discovery
that each new invention with wonderful ad-
vantages brings also with it new class of
sinister dangers hitherto often not even

wish | could make clear how much of all
the story of the German idea, the German
purpose, is revealed-forced upon one by

man conquest of Lorraine is all written
there. You can see, feel, hear. When the
German came he said: 81 will take this
wretched little provincial French town, and
/ will make it a world city. l will give it
avenues and parks and public buildings I
will bring it material prosperity and miser-
able inhabitants; these inferior and inef-
ficient creatures will worship me through
