INTERESTING FACTS
 CONCERNING CAMBRIA
 IN NORTHERN FRANCE

Cambrai, a town in Northern France capital of Arrondisement in the De- partment of Nord, g. miles southeast of Lille, on the main line of the Northern Railway. Population in 1916, 21,791. Situated on the right and eastern bank of the Scheldt, and at one extremity of the canal of St. Quentin. Cambrai is the ancient Ner- vian town of Camaracum, which is mentioned in the Antonnine Itiner- ary. In the 9th century it was the capital of the Frankish King Ragua- charius. Fortified by Charlemagne, it was captured and pillaged by the Norsemen in 87O, and unsuccessfully besieged by the Hungarians in 95S. During the 10th, 11th, and 18th cen turies, it was the scene of frequent hostilities between the Bishop and supporters and citizens, the latter f. nally securing their independence. In 1487 Louis XI obtained possession at the death of Charles the Bold, and turned it over to Charles ", who caused it to be strongly fortified in the 16th century. From that date to the peace of Nijmwegen, which as- signed it to France, it changed hands on numerous occasions. In more modern times many of the old foIti fcations were demolished to make way for streets and suburban resi- dences. It is an important supply station and noted to tourists for it's architecture and ancient church build ings.
