knowing that during the days of the actual
Easter celebration we would have little oppor-
tunlty TO see these things, owing to the great
crowds, we took occasion TO visit them the day
iohowng our arrival Among the principal
places of interest In the Church OF the HOLY
sepulcher are the supposed tomb OF Christ, the
stone of JUNCTION, the holy sepulcher the Greek
church. the chapel OF ST Helena and Mount

On the next day-Good Friday-we witnessed
the Latin ceremony Of the erucifxion This is
interesting in way, but somewhat shocking to
the occidental idea This ceremony takes place
over what is said to be the actual site of tho

conclusion the figure is taken down from The
cross and placed in white sheet. the crown OF
thorns and the nails drawn from the hands" and
feet being placed on silver salvers. After this
procession is formed which leads to the stone

difereot languages.

There is an old tradition in Jerusalem that
long after Christ had arisen and departed from
the holy sepulcher holy fire from heaven was
seen to descend into the sepulcher. Time has

weight, but 1t must be admitted that many Of
the poor faithful but ignorant pilgrims still be.

tired pilgrims had spread small scarf or shawl

Naval Gun at Dixmude, Twenty-four
Miles Away. Fired Shells
Into that City.

Paris. May 2.-Bombardment of
Dunkirk was carried out by a spe-
Cially mounted naval gun at n distance
Of nearly twentyfour miles, accord
ing to an official statement issued by
the war office today. The gun was
mounted near DiXmude. The commu-

a German deserter has reported
that for nearly two months engineers
from the Krupp works have been in

has occurred for several months, a

range. This gun. he said, bombarded
Dunkirk. firing at range of about
thirty-eiEht kilometres. Nine shells
only were fired during the second
and last bombardment. There is rea-
son to believe that the cannon was
damaged, as this kind of fire is such
that the most powerful cannon can
not resist for long: or else the Con-
tinuous flights of French airships in
this region have resulted in the dis
continuance of the firing.
