PARIS, Feb. 23.-Under heavy bonn
bardment by German gunners, the
noted cathedral az Rheims has again
suffered severe damage, It was an
nounced In official dispatches this aft
ernoon. Twenty civilians have been
killed by German shells.
Renewal Of the bombardment OF
Rheims was first reported to the war
office in official dispatches received
yesterday. Today's dispatches de-
cIared that after abandoning the at
tack Sunday night, the German gun
ners again directed their shells into
the historic town all day yesterday,
hurlna more than 1900 shells into
the city itself
The first bombardment opened
early In the morning. Most Of the
civilians fled to their cellars, but
twenty persons were caught In the
streets and killed by bursting shells.
A score Of houses caught fire. The
flames we're famed by a strong wind
and for time threatened the destruc-
ton Of large part of the city.
The cathedral seemed to be the par
ticuIar target Of the German artillery
men. The roof was pierced by sew
erai German shells and the interior Of
the edifice partially wrecked. The
first bombardment lasted for six
hours. After two hour intermis-
sion, the Germans renewed their at
tack for five more hours.
Elsewhere along the battle line.
there has been little activity in the
last tvrenty-four hours. Near the sea-
coast, west Of Lombaertzyde, two
German infantry attacks broke down
under heavy gun fire. French artiI-
lery silenced German battery in the
east Areonne region, between MaIan-
court and the Meuse, blowing up sew

LONDON, Feb. 23.-Another neutral
vessel fell victim today to the Ger
man submarine The Norwegian
steamer Regin was torpedoed in the
English channel off Dover today.
The Regin sank in less than fifteen
minutes. Several channel ships closed
in about her and picked up the TWEEN
ty-two members OF her crew. They
were taken to Dover.
The Regin is the second neutral YES
sci sent to the bottom by German
submarines since the Won Tirpitz sub
marine blockade against merchant
men was launched The first victim.
too, was a Norwegian vessel, the Bel
ridge, which was torpedoed off Folke-
stone on February 10. The Regin
was sunk today in almost the same
spot, indicating that the submarine
terrors still constitute q menace to
trade.
The Regin was enroute from New
Castle-on-the-Tyne to Bordeaux, laden
with coal. She did not heed the warn
ing OF the German admiralty to neu
tral vessels to take the route around
the north or Scotland Instead she
the British coast.
The sinking of the Belridge last
FriGay aroused Intense indignation in
Norway The second attack upon a
Norwegian steamer by German sub.
marines will bring protest lodged in
most emphatic terms from the Nor
wagian government, Is was deemed
certain here. Norway is not apt to
accept the German viewpoint that
since the Regin disregarded the warn.
ing not to attempt a passage of the
channel. she did so at her own risk.
The Norwegian embassy here refused
to make any comment this afternoon.
The first report received here from
Dover said merely that the coaler
had sunk few miles off that point.
Later a despatch said the Regin had
been torpedoed by one Of the German
submarines.
Wonderful Victory.
BERLIN, (via Amsterdam), Feb. %.
English flag has disappeared
from the North sea. In five days Won
Tirpitz' new submarip., policy has
achieved a wonderful victory. Brit
aims naval power has been humbled
before the eyes OF the entire world
This declaration, voiced by Ber.
lin raper today, was typical Of the at.
titu,le of the German press on the sue
cess Of Germany's new submarine
" arfare on British merchantmen. Ger
man papers expressed the belief that
in addition to those losses the British
admit. several other British merchant
men have been sunk since last Thurs
day.
Great things are expected from the
operating in the English
channel. The very fact that they have
eluded the net of British patrol ships
and already have succeeded in torpe-
doing enemy vessels. has aroused
great enthusiasm here.
All the Berlin newspapers today
gave considerable space to reports
from the North sea that English sail
ors have mutinied and have refused to
leave port under vessels flying the
English flag. Sailors of neutral ma
tions are reported to be taking the
same stand.
