Third Line is Modern.
Tlie wall around Paris and the 17
detached for ts "taro miles beyond the
walls were built by Louis Phillippe.
They sustained the German siege of
1870-1871, and the outer forts have
einee been greatly strengthened,
The third Ene of forts, oTa theholls
-
of' St. Germain, Cormilles and Vil-
liers, are of modern construction,
with the latest types of batteries
and heavy guns.
'The inner "wall about Paris' sur-
rounds the best known and roost im-
portant sections of the city, in -elud-
ing the business sections along the
grand boulevards, the residence sec-
tions to the north and west of the
oity and the Latin quarter and other
sections of the left bank of the
Seine.. Outside of the wall a circle
of suburbs extends for 'madly miles,
inoludingNeuilly, Argenteuil, Ver-
sailles, Vinecnnes and many others.
The forts of the seoond and third
line of defence are clotted 'among
these suburbs, protecting them and
the approaches to the capital. The
wall containg 93 bastions and 57
gates. Some of these have. been
abandoned owing to the pressure of
modern construction and trade.
But recent advices received here
from Paris state thait all the gates
still existing are now closed 'at 8
o'clock at night, with rigid regale -
tions against movements from with-
in or without.
.The second line of forts in,cludes
the famous fortress of Montvaler-
ian, -which was the tentre ol attack
in the German siege of 1870. It is
strengthened by two , groups ol
works-Rautes Bruyeres and the
Chatillon fort and batteries. South

straining hand, and Germany drift-

cress -currents to the Russian ulti-
matum and to war. The more sin-
cere the efforts made for peace, the
more futile they were. Instead of
drawing back from the "abyss,"
Germany tumbled into it.
The only justification if it is a
justification, that can be offered o
the Emperor's attitude is that 11

General Count von' Moltke, field
marshal of the German forces a,t the
time of the siege of Paris of 1870-71,
