SHOOTING At RHEIMS CATHEDRAL AGAIN
Allies are Making Desperate Attempt Today to
Cut General Won kluck's Army to
Pieces.

Won Boehm, made up Of the
bulk Of the Germans with
drawn from Belgium and Of
General Won Kluck. This will
either throw the latter back on
top Of General Won Buelow's
army, which adjoins on the
east, or compel Won Kluck to
give battle, surrounded on
three sides by his enemies.
On this new development Of
the battle, already il progress
for twelve days, much depends.
fIf the allies ars successful
they will force q speedy re-
treat Of the Germans that
must carry them back to the
lines Of the Meuse and north
into eastern Belgium.
Meanwhile the French cen
ter is again active. It was an
nounced that the German bonn
bardment of Rheims and its
noted cathedral had been re-
sumed. Shortly afterward it
was also stated the French
center was advancing east of
Rheims, indicating that the
real cause for the renewal Of
the bombardment had an as
sumption of the offensive by
the French. The reason for
this undoubtedly is the desire
to create a diversion which
will aid the chain of French
forts along the Meuse between
Verdun and Toul which is un-
der severe pressure at the
present time. It is admitted
that in the fighting Of the last
few days the losses on both
sides have been enormous.
