London.-The correspondent OF the
Daily Mail gives story by the Able
Gamu of the terrible scenes In the
cathedral when it was set on fire. He
said:
"It was all over In an hour. There
were two separate fires. We put the
frst out with four buckets of water,
all we had in the place. but soon an.
other shell struck the roof, and the
wind drove the flames along the raft.

agIin, but .t was flaming all along
and as we coul1 do nothing VS. hur-
ried down.
Thare are holas In the ceiling Of
tho nave and sparks began to fall
through them into great heaps Of
straw ten feet high and twenty yards
long the Germans had piled along the
north aisle. We tried 10 catch the
sparks In our hands as they fell and
those OF the German wounded that
were able to walk helped us. But
the first spark that fell on the pile
set 1t blazing.
There WIS time to think OF moth.
ing but getting out the wounded.
They screamed horribly. We carried
many OF those that could not walk,
while others dragged themselves pain
fTlly 70 the side door in the north
aisle. Those who had only hand and
arm wounds helped t,ieir comrades.
We got out all except thirteen, whose
bodies lie here.
When at last came ous of the
blazing building found all. the
wounded huddled together around the
doors. Opposite them were q furi-
ously hostile crowd OF civilians of
the town and a number OF soldiers
with their rifles leveled.
Il sprang forward. What are you

soldiers In answer. They shall go

the world will hear of the crime the
Germans have committed here. and II

"Unwillingly the soldiers lowered
their rifles and turned to six Ger.

wounded and asked II they would obey
me and do everything told them. They
said they would, and I asked them to
