NOTED EDlF|CES

Paris, July 10. 2.15 p M.-Since June
q. the Germans have bombarded sys-
tematically various parts Of Arras with
projectiles Of all caibres, says an Of
fetal communication given out today

extremely violent and was executed by
six-inch, eighti-nch and 17-inch guns

M. and between s p. NJ. and 7.30 P. NJ.
The fire was directed particularly at
tn ecitadel and neighboring streets.
On July at 40 P. NJ, the statement
continued: THE enemy recommended
its bombardment OF the city, concen-
trating its fire upon the environs of
the cathedral. more especially upon
Saline VAST, the ancient Bishops pal
alec which had been transformed into
a museum. Incendiary shells set the
building on fire and the use Of fuse
shells from three-inch and four-inch
guns prevented our organizing to COM
bata the fire, which soon assumed
great proportions and completely de-
stroyed the palace. During the night
there was an intermittent lombard
ment.
"On July s, about Z A. NJ, shells fell
on the cathedral. the roof of which
toof fire and despite the eeffcts of our
troops was entirely consumed, as were
the cathedral organs.
1.-THE departmental archives, which
had been deposited in the Palace of St.
aVast had been placed in the cellar
Of the palace before the bombardment
and were saved. The sacred ornaments
and part Of the furnishings in the ca
thedral were removed"

Obstacle to Endowment.

Many of us are plenty old enough to
remember the big open fireplace, the
enormous amount of wood it required
to keep it going, how the cord sticks
had to be dug out Of the ice and snow,
how it was struggle to get the big
back log in place, how every morning
the fire had to be started over again,
unless you were cunning enough In
woodcraft to hide some Goals deep
enough under the ashes to keep them
until morning, how in the early hours
of the bleak days the rooms of the
house were so cold 1t required great
courage or the insistent commands
of the head Of the house to get up
to make that fire. But this is not
ALL 1t will be remembered also that
in real weather the fire from the open
side of the room baked you on one
side while the other side was frozen,
and all the day long the frost on the
windows maintained the beauty of the
formation into pictured mountains and
valleys undisturbed by the heat from
the burning logs.
