RHEIMS CATHEDRAL LOSS TOTAL
Greatest Blow of the Mar From His
toricaI and Artistic Sense.

Bordeaux, Sept. 22.-The minister of
the interior, Louis j. Malvy, announces
that the famous cathedral of Rheims
had been destroyed and all other his
toric and public buildings either laid
in ruins or seriously damaged during
the bombardment of Rheims by the
German artillery. Coupled with this
announcement was a statement that
the government had decided to adj
dress to all the powers a note of indig-
nation against "this act of odious van.
dalism."
If the reported destruction of the
cathedral of Rheims is true, it is the
greatest loss from a historical and ar
tistic sense of the present war.
Germany Defends Action.
An official statement issued from
Berlin says:
Rheims vas in the battle line o.
the French, and the Germans were
obliged to lombard it. We regret the
necessity, but the fire of the French
came from that direction. Orders have
been issued to save the cathedral.

URGES COOPERATION
AMONG PATROLMEN

Cooperation was the keynote of
the brief remarks made to the mem
bers OF the police department at roll
call last night by Police Chief Good
win That the efficiency of the de-
partment depended largely on the
manner in which the patrolmen work
ed with their superiors was the new
chiefs belief. He said that no
changes in the department would be
made for "a few days, or until after
the police commissioners hold a spec
ial session Wednesday night.
Ali but a very few Of the hfty-one
men who have applied for positions
Will be very much disappointed,
said Chief Goodwin today. How many
officers would be removed he did not
know, saying he would abide by the
decision Of the commissioners, al
though it is probable that only one or
two of the applicants will be placed
on the force.
To Redistrict PatroImen.
One of the first changes which
Goodwin will make in the department
will be the redistriCting of patrOlmen.
He has in mind a general shifting of
patrOlmen from the beats which they
now have. This shift he said might
not be made for several weeks.
lnasmuch as the department has
been conducted for some time with
out a motorcycle or a motor patrol,
Goodwin said he would not ask the
commissioners to purchase the equip
ment He has arranged with Fire
Chief Miller to use the chiefs car in
response to hurry calls.
