withdrew from the town to save it, but
that the French not only reoccupied it
but posted much of their artillery,
especially their three-inch guns, there.
The tower of the cathedral was occu-
pied, the official report says, by
French general officers who from that
point of vantage signaled the range of
the German positions to the gunners
in the streets and on the outskirts of
the city.
When the deadly character Of the
French artillery fire became manifest, It
was discovered that these officers were
in the tower and the signal men could
plainly be seen. 1t was therefore neCes-
sary for the Germans to open fire on
the town and TO drive the observers
from their point of vantage. That the
cathedral was damaged is a matter of
deep regret to all Germans, but it is
insisted that firing on Rheims became
matter Of the most urgent military
necessity when the French themselves
turned the city into a part of their
