CAUSED SMELLING
One Writer Says Rheims
Bombardment Followed
AudaCiOuS Attack.
IRy Gable to The Tribune !

London, Sept. 21.-"The Daily Chron-
icle's" correspondent in Paris sends the
following:
1.-THE serious and deliberate bonn
bardment of Rheims began on Satur-
day, being chiefly directed from Ger
man batteries placed on the site Of the
old French fort on the hill Of Nogent
PAbbesse. This position stands barely
six miles from the centre Of the city,
to the east, and the chief buildings
would be clearly visible through felo
glasses, SO that there can be no ques-
tion Of accident. Either on Friday
afternoon or early Saturday morning
IL had been the scene Of severe fight
ing, the French making persistent at
tscks, and at last capturing the site
Of their old battery. a couple Of miles
south Of the main position at NoRent
"Was It in revenge for this audAcl-
ty that shells were deliberately aimed
at the wondrous fabric In which artists
of the Middle Ages enshrined their no
blest conceptions of beauty and fsithi
The exact damage cannot be ascer-
tanned, for Rheims is now cut of abb
solutely from the remainder Of the
country, the roads Of approach being
forbidden except to the army.
"The bombardment was resumed
early Sunday morning, apparently with
the aim of completing the destruction
of the city and its historical. monu-
ments. OF these the abbey and church
Of Saint Remi is q century older than
the cathedral itself, and It contained
splendid stained glass windows, marble
statues and other treasures which are
believed to be destroyed. The town
hall, a fine building in Louis XIII style,
dating from 1880, in which were also
situated the town library and museum,
is mass of ruins. This museum con-
tanned pictures by Teniers, Corot, Dau-
bigny and other masters. The Hotel
De Dieu, or hospital, the sub-prefecture
and some ancient houses Of the town
are also destroyed.
"Mr. Slidell, Of New York, who has
reached here, says about four hundred
residents in the city were killed by
the bombardment, but another refugee
states that there has been very little
loss Of life.
II will only add one comment 70 this
grievous story. II is that of Maurice
Barras, the eminent reactionary:
"'At least he says, these shells
have not fallen on our battaions, our
brothers and sons, our defenders.
Perish the marvels OF French genius
rather than that genius itself! Let
most beautiful Of stone be destroyed
rather than the blood of my race. At
this moment | prefer the humblest,
weakest infantryman of France to our
worthiest works Of art. The essential
thing is that our national life remains.
Vive Ia Francel This is the only re-
ply Of believers, artists and patriots
to this deed"

CATHEDRAL NUNS
KILLED BY SHELLS
Rheims BOmbardmentAIsO
Hits German Prisoners
French Are Bitter.
rBy Gable to The Tribune !

Rheims (viR Paris and London),
Sept. 21.-One of the most vivid de-
scriptions of the bombardment of the
Rheims Cathedral so far has been fur
nished by Thomas Slidell, New York
lawyer, who said:
ION Saturday shrapnel came smash
ing through the windows about noon,
and four nuns and three prisoners
were killed. About $50 Germans
closely packed inside were wounded by
their own shells. When left the
great rose window over the main en-
trance WAS not much damaged, but the
wonderful thirteenth century glass on
both aides was ruined. The statue OF
the Virgin was broken in two, while
that of Joan of Arc just outside Still
stood, though the pedestal was
smashed. The noise of the exploring
shells was like a thunderstorm.
Saws Edmond Hsrancourt, in LIE
Journal: They have destroyed the
pearl of the west the jewel OF cen
turtles, the monument of faith and de-
votion by which the united soul OF the
Christian world attested its belize, It's
destiny and its God. We cannot say
"a the Saviour said: Father, forgive
them. for they know not what they DO.
They did know. The German army
contains besides brutes men who are
savsnts. authors, men OF genius. lhey
know they must share the responslolI-
itv for a crime against the human
race" -,..
Gustave Herve, the famous Socialist,
saws: What do the United States and
Italv think of It? Does the Kaiser
still think he can cultivate the friend
ship Of the United States? Does he
imagine he can still retain the love OF
the country Of Raphael and NichaeI
Angelo?
"How shall we retsliate when we
enter Germany? | hope General Jofre
will issue a proclamation reminding
everybody concerned that to the SOL
diers of the Allies the lives Of women
and children and non-combatsnts are
sacred When we are before Cologne
our 75-millimetre guns must be cold
Our soldiers do not need the reminder
of that. Cologne contains one of the
seven wonders Of the world, which
must not be touched, and at Munich,
Dresden and Berlin a guard Of honor
must be placed before every library,

Aix-1a-C hapelle.

Aix-la-Chspelle, Sept. 6.-The head Of
the Red Cross division in Rhineland
showed American correspondents to-day
dum-dum bullets. 1000 Of which, be
said, had been found on English sol
diers taken at Maubeuge. The end Of
this bullet was injseketed and tipped
with lead which contained a copper
core. It was 40 calibre make, SINH
lar to cartridges used for big game.
These soft-nosed bullets had caused
ugly injuries to the German wounded
which he had personally treated. said
the Red Cross chief.
The officer spoke without animus and
only gave evidence which, he said, he
had personally gathered. He said many
Of the English bullets we're made like
the sharp nickel-pointed German bull
lets. The French bullets were uni
formly good, he said, made small
wounds and did not spread.
According to the officials story be
had treated German wounded who had
been shot with English buekshot. He
brought in a wounded German boy,
Wolfgang Kocher, son Of MagdeburG
professor and enlisted In the 74th In
fantry Regiment of Hanover. This boy,
aged nineteen, was made prisoner with
thirteen others By the BelgiAns at
Liege In the first days Of the fighting.
He said he was told by the wife Of the
doctor who attended them that II any
thing happened to any Of her relatives
In the war, she would poison the pTis-
onsrs. For four days, therefore, they
were afraid 10 touch food or water, and
when rescued by the Germans were On
the point of starvation.
The Red Cross chief said he had
seen a Red Cross automobile hred on At
Battiste by Belgian civilians. He told
a remarkable story Of q Belgian tele-
phone girl at Dahlen, who telephoned
Belgian officers at the forts that they
were not properly placing their shells.
By following her instructions they were
able to regulate their firing effectively
and the telephone girl was killed By q
shot which destroyed the Office from
which she was directing the operations.

UPHOLDS THE GERMANS
Attache Says Churches Must
Take Chance in War.

Reports to the effect that the Ger.
mans wantoniy destroyed the Cathedral
at Rheims have aroused severe criti-
cism from Captain Won Falkenhauseni
late German attache at Toxic, who is
now In this city. He sets forth his rea-
sons in a statement made through the
Chamber of Characterization Com
merce. -,
1T appears that the German Artil-
lery tried 70 save the Cathedral at
Rheims" he says, "but when a city Is
strongly fortified and an important
part of the enemy's defence 1t Is OF
course bombarded, and the saving OF
single building becomes difficult, II not
impossible.
another point to BIO taken into 40
count is that high towers and spires
have become important factors IN mod
crn warfare. To direct the fire Of the
howitzers and observe the results, OBJ
scryations must be taken from high
points, such as towers.
"In addition, high towers serve as
wireless stations and become formlda-
Bile weapons in the hands Of the army
holding them. II the French, as they
admit, have used the city Of Rheims as
one Of their strongholds in the battle
now raging and have used the spires
of the buildings for observation pur-
poses, the German artillery would have
been compelled to demolish them.
"They could not allow the enemy to
kill their men unhindered, however
much they deplored the necessity OF
directing their fire against an edihce
that they themselves admired and re-
vered. The assumption that the Ger
man artillery might waste its ammuni
ton to destroy buildings where neces
sity does not exist is too far fetched tc
deserve serious discussion. The enemy
of course, will never admit they used
church towers for purposes of observa'

Britain Refuses to Heed
Agitation Started by
Won BernStorff.
HOLDS 1T TO BE
AN ARTFUL TRAP
Considers Germany Is Only
Trying to Throw on Allies
Onus of Continuing War.
IBy Cable to The Tribune. J

London, Sept. 21.-The British gov
eminent Is not permitting itself to take
much interest in the peace talk emanRt-
ing from America at this time. II is
fully convinced that this talk is idle
gossip, inspired and stimulated by Ger
man diplomacy, of which there is in
finite distrust in Great Britain.
Responsible government authorities
were asked to-day for some expression
Of opinion as to the recent reports from
America Of a peace pRrley, particularly
the announcement, as It appears In
London newspapers, that Count Won
BcrnstorR had openly declared Ger
many was ready 70 call the war 8
drawn fight. 1t was found that the
British government is not ready to dis
cuss the question as raised by ire
sponsible reports, or even statements
by the German Ambassador in Wash
ington.
British government officials feel quite
certain that If Count Won Bernstorf s
statements drew some comment from
England Count Won Bernstorf would
Immediately disclaim responsibility OF
the part of his government.
Up to the Kaiser.
Il was made clear, however, that the
British government will respectfully
receive and give serious consideration
to any proposals looking toward peace
emanatinE from a responsible quarter
or even from Germany herself, If made
through the proper channels.
This does not in the least mean that
England abandons her fixed idea OF
carrying on this war to finish which
will make a lasting peace possible. 1t
simply means that England is in no
way putting herself in the position OF
responsibility for continuing the war
which responsibility officials here think
Germany is trying to fix uopn her by
the present irresponsible and unofficial
agitation.
German Methods Known.
This is an authentic presentation OF
Englands attitude, although the gov
eminent is not ready to make any on
cial statement in refutation of the Ger
man-made rumors or answering Count
Won Bernstorfr's outbursts. The view
It is taking is that to get her to make
some statement Is Just what Germany
may want England to do, and England
has TO intention of doing It.
Great Britain has no intention OF
permitting herself to be drawn INTO any
argument or controversy at this time
Tho British Foreign Office considers
itself quite familiar with German meth
eds of utilizing the press for launching
news and views which officially it will
not support.
All the Allies consider peace talk
futile at this time. They are fully con,
fdent of their ultimate victory and
fee! that to finish the fight is the only
way to guarantee future peace.
Only the Grave for Militarism.
In a speech at Liverpool tonight
Winston Spencer Churchill, First LORD
Of the Admiralty, referring to the
peace talk by Count Won Bernstortf
said:

but there win be no peacs with Prus-
sian militarism short Of the grave.
England, said the First Lord, would
not seek to subjugate Germany or Aus
tria or their people, however complete
her victory might be over them. The
worst that will happen to them after
tho war will be that they will be set
free to live, and let live fairly ana
