ST. HELENS MtST, ERI DAY. MAY 9. 1919 SAAR VALLEY TT IS DESCRIBED Pr-Wr Picture of Country is Given by Geographio Society "Ancient castles and mines, old monasteries crowded by now factor ies which sometimes usurp historic abbeys, wooded and Jagged hills dimmed by a pall of smoke." Such is tho pre-war picture of tho Saar Valley, contained in a bulletin from the national geographical society. "Prised tor its precious coal de posits, among the richest in Europe, thlo nllav which now ig DlaVlllI SUCh a conspicuous part in the peace con ference deliberations is a nigniy com pact area when compared to Ameri can coal fields," the bulletin con tlnues. 'The Saar Valley, strictly speak ing extends along tho Saar river from Conz, where It empties into the Monselle, five miles above Treves, southward Into Lorraine where the the river is artlflcally extended to the Rhine and Marne canal, an air line distance of less than 75 miles. "The coalfields themselves He about Saarbrucken. They cover about 70 square miles and before the war produced some 10.000,000 tons a year. That tonnage equals a third of the annual coal output in France. TCnt thA ATtAnt RApnift nma.11 when compared with the 16,000 square miles of tne Pennsylvania Den, ana the yield is but one-forieth of the coal mined annually in the Unites States. "Thus, not all the Saar valley, it is evident, is a mining region. Toward thA inniith nf thA HHIa rlvnr nm vineyards, often planted in the beds of the former loops of the river be fore it carved out more direct courses, from which came a portion of the famous Moselle wines. "Moselle wines are older than the Rhine wines. Vines were planted along the Moselle less than three centuries after the birth of Christ. A Latin poet, Ansonius, sang their praises in 'Mosella,' wherein he also mentioned a royal villa whose re mains are to be seen to this day at Conz. "Traveling up the Saar the peace ful vineyards soon seem far away amid the hum of industry from m.-uiy a small manufacturing town. The valley is populous but there are no large cities. The Industries are scat tered through many small towns, such as Saarburg, Saarlouls, Serrig, Merzig and Taben. "Near the Lorraine border Is Saar brucken, metropolis of the region with only 30,000 population. Not all the coal mined In the Sar.rbrucken fields, by any means. Is used in local Industries. Much of it went, before the war, up the Saar and through the canals to Italy and Switzerland. "Saarbrucken, but 40 miles north east of Metz and 45 miles from the French border, was the Fort Sumter of the Franco-Prussian war, scene of the first and last success of the French arms in 1870, and the oiib brief foothold the French gained on German soil. There Napoleon II, with his son at his sido, led the uu prepared French forces against a van guard or tne army ot rrmce Frederick Charles. The Germans practiced an adroit sort of t'.raou flage. Day by day the same soldiers would appear In different uniforms and new caps, leading the French to believe they were opposing a much greater force than was on hrnd at that point. "When the Emperor's son fired the first mitrailleuse the war was on, the Prussians retreated In a few hours, and In Paris the victory was hailed as a smashing Initial success. Later it was learned that fewer thrn 100 men were killed on both sides. Four days later the Germans recaptured Saarbrucken and proceeded toward Paris. Nearly every town along the Saai has some historic landmark. At Saar burg are the ruins of the old castle of the electors of Troves; at Serrig is a chapel where Frederick William IV laid away the remains of King John of Bohemia; Taben ha many ancient abbeys; at MettHch Is an eighth century home of the Benedictines which was utilized by an earthenware factory more than a century ago; at Merzig is a Romau cathedral of the 12th century, and Saarlouls Is the birthplace of Marshal Ney. An old castle at Saar brucken saw the rule of the counts of Ardent nes, the proprietorship of Nassau, the garrisons of France, the Iron rule of Germnny, and now awaits the decision of the Paris conference for its future fate."
