Rheims. Nov. l9-On November /
the thousandth German she'll struck
the Cathedral of Rheims. Ever since
the recent French drive at Nerdun
salvos of shells have been poured
daily into Rheims, many striking the
cathedral. Four of the flying but
resaes supporting the roof of the nave
lave been demolished and several
others hit. As the weight of the stone
roof, which is about two feet thick,
is horne almost entirely by these fly
ing buttresses. the danger Of its fall
has become imminent.
Other parts of the beautiful archi-
lecture and statuary have suffered ir-
reparsble damage, and this increases
daily, but as their destruction does
not effect the stability of the build
ing their loss is felt only from the
viewpoint of art.
The fears Of the authorities have
been increased by the usually severe
rainy season, which this year has been
uninterrupted for many weeks. The
timber and leaden roofs of the cathe-
drai having been destroyed early in the
bombardment, the rain falls into the
building through the shell holes in the
store roof and washes away layer af-
ter layer of the calcined stone of the
interior, leaving muddy puddles on the
floor and gradually percolating through
to the crypts and foundations.
Endeavors were made at first TO
deaf with this peril to the cathedral
by employing men to clear away the
water and at the same time to prop
up rarts of the building in danger of
falling. The Germans. however, who
keep close watch on all that is going

Bitter Blockade Protest

The rationing of Holland, Norway
and Sweden and Denmark has been Bit
terly condemned in the blockade notes,
where it has been held to be an abso-
lutely unwarrantable interference with
neutral trade directly between two
neutral countries. England inyokes the
doctrine of continuous voyage and al
lows only enough supplies to enter
these neutral countries to meet their
minimum needs, despite the fact that
goods imported to a neutral country be-
come part of its capital stock, SUBJECT
tc reexportation if desired.
A not less "lawless practice" has
been the Entente Allied censorship of
mails. which has been called "vexatious-
lv inouisitorial." Here again is an abb
solute conflict between neutral and bel
ligerent rights. Neutrals have the right
of inviolability of genuine correspond
ence; belligerents have the right 70
search mails for contraband. Obviously
mails cannot be searched and lnvlolate
at the same time. A reply is due from
this government to the British ana

was over four months delayed.

in which it was declared that the proc

"Norddeutsche Algemeine Zeitung" as
saying:
"Such a treaty is unknown to US.

the kingdom OF Poland was established

conferred upon the Car.
Russia used her military superiority
and devoured independent Poland-de-
prived It step by step of all autonomy
until even the name Of Poland disap-
peared. All this was not based upon
European treaties.
"Ihe Central empires, therefore, have
not violated the Vienna treaties OF

that two Mexican women had married
Chinese, and their five halfbreed chill
dren were found and thrown alive into
the fire and cremated in sight of the
crowd. The bodies of seven murdered
Chinese. according to the same author
ty, were seen in the streets of the
town.
Two Mexicans who escaped from Par
raj affirm that they saw four Americans
there under a Villa guard. They said
these men had lived in the town. They
heard that the Americans working at
the Alvarado mines got away. Another
report to the border was to the effect
that the bodies of thirty-fve gypsies
of both sexes were seen on the road
side near Parrsl, murdered and robbed
by Villa bandits. The Gypsies were
believed to be of Syrian origin.
All foreigners that Villa has caught,
oycept the Japanese and Germans, have
been put to death, the reports agree,
and even the Germans are said to have
suffered. at least in the instance of
Theodore Hoemuller of Parral. Vari-
Gus reports of Hoemuller's death have
been received here during the last week.
The Chinese are called the heaviest
sufferers. The fact that none are TO be
seen in the district in which they for
n.erly did large mercantile business
is taken by the refugees as proof that
