BORDEAUX, Sept. 2l.-President
Poincare directed formal note of
protest to the neutral powers against
the destruction of Rheims cathedral,

cathedral, calling it an act of vandal-
ism.'"

Fighting was resumed everywhere

decisive.
Bordeaux reports the allies left ad-
vanced. Fierce engagements are in
progress in the allies center. The
Germans made a bayonet charge there,
the allies repulsing.
The official statement follows: "We
have advanced to the heights of Lass
ingny and West Noyon on the right
bank of Disc. The enemy has been
repulsed on all other points east of
Disc, though their attacks are becom-
ing more violent, and bayonet charges
have been directed against out lines
at Craonne, and the bombardment of
Rheims with heavy German guns con-
tinues- The situation at Lorraine and
Vosges is unchanged The Germans
are fortifying Define hill, south of the
