his weekly review with newspa

the First American Army, oiv the

"operation to eliminate the St. Mihiel
salient. , , ,
General March read, a cablegram

Major Tnaa U. stem anu j-. o.
Royster, Jr., are in the artillery, and
so far as we recall they are the on
ly two men from Granville county
in that branch of the service.
The American army, which is witn
in ten miles of . Metz, is shelling the
stronghold of the Germans. .With
the fall of Metz, Germany will lose
all of her ore and fuel deposits.
Metz is a city of seventy-nve moub
and .inhabitants, and the fort, which
is said to be one or tne strongest m
the world, is reached by a tunnel ten
miles long on the eastern approach.
Military writers say mat n ia evi
dently the intention of Gen. Foch to
take the fort by strategy. A glance -
at tne map-will snow mat iue ymcj.
is already torming.
It is a glorious tnougut tu jvhww
that the eagle-eyes of Major Stem
and Lt. B. S. Royster, two Granville
county men, are trained on Metz,
and we pray tnat tney may oe syctx
ed to tell us. how the fort was cap
tured. ,
