ARRAS IS
REDUCED
TO RUINS
Public Buildings and Cathedral De-
stroyed by German Bombard-
ment; French Claim ihe Re-.
capture Of Trenches
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
Paris. July 9.-The war office gave
out the statement here this morning
that the Teutons had been carrying on
an almost continuous bombardment of
Arras at long range for 4S hours. The
city is being Systematically reduced
to ruins, many public buildings and
residences and the beautiful cathedral
of the city having been consumed BY
fires burning in several sections of
the town.
Though the French official state
ment declares little military damage
has resulted from the bombardment,
statement from Berlin claims the
French observation point was destroy
ed when the cathedral was burned.
The German statement reports the city
still burning.
Claims Of the recapture of 150 yards
of trenches in the vicinity of Lepretre
were given at Paris today. The war
office stated there were more sue
cesses elsewhere, but did not Civ par.
ticulars.
No Cholera Epidemic.
Fears OF great cholera epidemic
during the hot months of summer were
allayed today by the report of the par
liamentary hygiene committee in the
chamber of deputies. In many part:
of France terror from the possibilit,
of the plague exceeds that of the wa
itself. The committee reported tina
the hundreds of thousands of rottinl
bodies along the frontier could no
cause cholera under any circum
stances. and besides, that sanitary pre-
cautions being taken by both Teuton
and allies are so great as to make tn
epidemic an impossibility.
