RHEIMS CATHEDRAL LOSS TOTAL
Greatest Blow of the War From His
torical and Artistic Sense.

toricaI and Artistic Sense.
Bordeaux, Sept. 22.-The minister of
the interior. Louis j. Malvy, announces
that the famous cathedral of Rheims
had been destroyed and all other his
toric and public buildings either Lard
I'm ruins or seriously damaged during
the bombardment of Rheims by the
German artillery Coupled with this
announcement was a statement that
the government had decided to adj
dress to all the powers a note of indig-
nation against this act of odious van
dalism."
If the reported destruction of the
cathedral of Rheims is true, it is the
greatest loss from a historical and ar
tistic sense of the present war.
Germany Defends Action.
An official statement issued from
Berlin says
Rheims was in the battle line OF
the French. and the Germans were
obliged to lombard it. We regret the
necessity, but the fire of the French
came from that direction. Orders have
been issued to save the cathedral.
''The attacks on the French are pro
crossing at several points"

RUSSIAN SUCCESSES.
PetrOgrad Speculates on What Will
 Happen When -.

Petrograd, via London, Dec. IA Reports today from the front state that the operations of Russian forces north of Warsaw, partial success of which was announced last week, now have resulted in a decisive victory af- ter having pierced the German front beyond Ciechanow and Przasinysz. The Russian success on this front, according to these edvices, has been clinched by wide swinging move ment of the advancing Russian left on the main highway from Flock to Mlawa, concluding in heavy cavalry engagement at Jureminetna seven miles southeast of Mlawa.
 Russian successes of this nature i would have three important results The immediate pressure north of War saw would be relieved and the Ger man threat against the railroad lines leading east from the city would be answered. Russian troops on the right of the Vistula river would be freed to seek crossing and endanger i the position of the left wing of the i German army in the region of Lodz. It is said here that the Russians now will be able to straighten their

FIRE FIGHTING
 FACULTIES Q. K.
Hydrants Inspected Follow ing Freeze-Public Dem
 onstration of Apparatus.

The freezing weather which struck Pine Bluff Saturday night and which continues, is not being allowed to en- danger life and property by causing trouble with the water hydrants, Fire Chief Breiner having had a squad of his boys out on a test tour yesterday.
 Using the chiefs auto, the squad visited practically every water plus in the city, to pump out whatever water might be therein and likely to freeze. Only recently all the hydrants were flushed out, and be- cause water was likely to have seep- cd into the containers, and there, by freezing, cause trouble and loss, Chief Breiner had the boys make their inspection trip yesterday.
 Everything was found in fine shape, and where there had been any water standing, it was pumped out by the boys, to prevent trouble later. The chief was of the opinion last night that should fire break out, the de- pertinent will not be troubled because ot the freezing of the hydrants.
 MT. Mead Leaves
 Photographic instructions from the Americana Lat'rapce company'S head quarters, to proceed at once to Green wood, Miss, to remedy some trouble with a fire truck there, were received last evening by George M. Mead, the engineer of the company, who came rere to test and formally deliver the big new apparatus to the local de- partment.
 Mir. Mead left at midnight for Greenwood, via Memphis. He expects to return to Pine Bluff the latter part of tine week, to complete his work here. Mir. Mead is hoping to be able to. reach his home for Christmas, and must make visit to Hot Springs be- fore going north. On that account, he is trying to arrange to leave Pine Blrff by next Sunday.
 Fire Chief Breiner had planned for demonstration by MT. Mead this morning for the benefit of Mayor Bloom the aldermen and the mem- bers of the board of public works, bus this has been postponed until Mir. Mead's return to the city. Warmer weather. too, it is thought. would be preferred by the city officials Whc will be asked { to take little "joy ride" in the big red car. speed of 30 miles an hour with the. mercury lowering about 15 is hardly enjoyable, even by city father.
 The council is expected to formal ly accept tine car at it's meeting next Monday night, although this will be done only if the necessary tests and demonstrations have proved satis- factory. It is likely, too, that if the tests are held early enough, the car may. be accepted before that time, the council to formally take such action when it does meet.
