Conservative and well-authentica-
ted reports from both Berlin and
Paris confirm the news that the
cathedral of Notre Dame, at Rheims,
was actually the victim of cannon
fire. and that it suffered great, but
not necessarily irreparable damage.
It's rose window, a product of thir-
teenth century culture, has been part
ly shattered by shrapnol, and the fire
which followed is said to have des-
troyed much of the woodwork and to
have scorched the ancient oak por-
tails. The towers and main walls re-
main intact and the chief exterior
damage is to the many statues with
which II is ornamented. No lust mad
troops beyond the control of their
officers, rushed through the city bent
ON destroying whatever appeared to
have value. In explaining its deface-
ment. the Germans simply say that
the French were so situated that the
cathedral lay between them and the
German cannon, and that they could
be reached only at the risk of drop
ming a few shells IN Rheims. The
French may have been to blame, tho
both or neither may be held respon
sible. That question IS secondary t'
the fact that In this act civilized hu
manity uttered blasphemy secon'
