This forest lies across the path of the Lorraine passes into France. It stretches from the south west to the northwest for a distance of 30 miles, generally parallel to the French German boundary, though well within French territory, and varies in width from one to eight miles. It lies between the sources of the Aisne on the East and the River Aire, on the West. The railway from Metz to Chalons and Paris runs through one of its sharp-hewn passes. ' ' This narrow, rock-bound tangled for est belt is rich in military history. Its exceedingly difficult paths have several times stopped the foreign invader, and the Frenchman, with a somewhat warm stretch of fancy, has called it the French Thermopylae. While no such tragic 'last stand' has yet been made within its area as that which consecrated the Grecian pass, one of the holiest natural monu ments of history, its defiles have been the theatres of several famous military opera tions, among them the Battle of Valmy. "On this battlefield, the French, with 96,000 raw, undisciplined, unconfident con scripts opposed on September 20, 1792, in the wonderfully contorted passes of the Argonne, 160,000 Austrian Imperialists and Prussians, who had been pursuing an easy course into France, and victory re mained with the French, a victory fol lowed by the proclamation of the Republic. " Argonne Forest is well-wooded and has an elevation ranging between 600 and 900 feet. The ground within the forest is unfruitful, rich alone in stone, piquant scenic beauties and all manner of legend and fable." THE IMCTl It EMlTi: Flint a tine in Connection With PrerioiiM lleference "Come over and let me put you in a 'ship' for a ten mile run between the point at which the Capitol Highway strikes the river, and Blue's Bridge, a new trip which has been opened up this season on the Lumbee River;-wonderfully fascinating in its picturesque diversity. The entire performance from Pinehurst to Pinehurst can be done in three hours." writes Dr. John Warren Achorn from Pine Bluff.
