In all this condemnation of the de
struction Of the cathedral at Rheims it
should he noted in fairness to the
Germans, that when they first attacked
and drove the French from the CITY
they did not damage the historic edi-
flee a particle. If jhey had wished to
destroy it they could have done so
without molestation but they spared
it, as all other armies had done for
seven centuries. The destruction took
place in bombardment after the Ger
mans had evacuated the city once and
were attempting to take it the second
time. Their claim is that the French
were using it as a signal tower and
that it was in the direct range of fire.
The lamentable fact is that the cathe-
dral can never be reconstructed in it's
pristine beauty. The distinguishing
feature of the cathedral was its magni-
fcent opalescent windows and the Sc
cret of making the peculiar colored
glass of these windows is a lost art.
unknown to any glass workers in
hundreds of years.

This morning it is time for the
Brattleboro people to join in the cho
rus CATER the Fair The exhibit
ton this year was a great success in
every way. There is an educational
side to the fair, especially for the men
who are interested in the breeding of
domestic animals and in the possibili-
ties of scientific agriculture. 1t also
furnishes wholesome entertainment for
thousands of people. especially when
conducted on the clean lines which have
always characterized the Valley fair.
This year the weather conditions were
highly favorable, and as a result fully
$4,000 people saw the numerous attrac-
tions. The fair was wen managed and
when the books are balanced a hand
some sum will undoubtedly be found
on the right side of the ledger. The
Valley fair is one of the institutions
of which Brattlebpro and other Con-
necticut valley towns are proud, and
the secret of its success is the public
spirit and the cooperation always
shown in working to make the fair
bigger and better with the passing
years.
