OREGON WEATHER Fair and warmer, gentle 4 northeasterly winds. 4 A GIANT TASK FOR PERSHING Now that the great American army bad, apparently, the Herculean task of capturing the famous Ger man fortress. Met, the description if the plaoj as given by the AssoclaleJ Press wilt be of Interest tt Ameri cans. And should General Focb. say to Pershing, "take Mets," Instead of throwing the. Tanks Into some other sector, the accomplishment of th task will be considered one of the greatest military achievements ever undertaken. The Associated Press says: Offensive operations toward MeU strike at one of the most Important German bases in the west. The city and the 28 encircling forts comprise what has been regarded as one of the most formidable fortresses In the world. MeU also Is the center of Important Iron fields, which before the war supplied France and Ger many with more than two-thirds of the ore used by their Iron manufac tories. Metz Is one the Mosle lOVi miles east of the French border. To the east, north and northwest are thelschool. Iron and coal fields of French and! German Lorraine. Deprived of these fields Germany could not conduct the war another three months, it is asserted. The chief Iron field on the Rhine district is that of Lorraine, Including the Basin de Briey, (the center of which Ig the litle village of Briey,) the greatest Iron producing region Mr. Nellson nearly cut off a finger In the world. It Is located mainly i and the children got too close to a In Alsace-Lorraine and overlap Into yellow Jacket's nest and were al Belglum and Luxemburg.

The only practical road to this Im portant region, military authorities agree. Is the valley of the Moselle. At the head of the valley and barring the way lies Metz, ranking with Strassburg a one of the two great bulwarks of the German southwest ern frontier. Metz, Is a city ot 60. 000 population. Its chief industries being the manufacturing of weapons, clothes, shoes and hats. As a fortress Metz has been Im portant since the Roman era.' Since that , time Jt has never succumbed to frontal attack. , Its present system f fortifications Includes 28 detached forts which encircle the city proper. The outer chain of defenses, built within the last two decades, and un doubtedly perfected since the out break of the present war, extend to Thlonvllle on the north, and Grave lotte on the west.

There Is something radic ally wrong with th man or woman who refuse to remain standing, and "retreats." when "The 8tar Spangled Banner" Is being played It Is through lgnoranc or lack of tov for Old Glory. A revolution Is said to be brewing in Finland over the Germans' at tempt to put a ruler of their own choosing on the throne. Good luck to the Fins who are starting the move.
