With the French Armies Before St
Quentin. Aug. 17.-The beautiful ST.
Quentin Cathedral today is a smoking
mass of ruins, a duplicate of its sister
rnartyred Cathedral of Rheims. 1t is
the latest victim of German destruc-
ton.
Beyond the cathedral may be seen
the smoke Of numerous villages, curl
ing into the sky Fury of German de-
structiveness is again asserting itself.
While the burning and looting resem-
bles that which preceded the German
retreat in March, there aresno indica-
tions that the enemy is preparing to
evacuate the territory in this region
Immediately.
Spread Fire and Terror.
Fire and terror is being spread in
the French towns held by the enemy
and now coming under the guns or
troops fighting to redeem them. Re-
Gently captured German prisoners de-
clare st. Quentin has been completely
sacked Everything of any value has
been carried off.
All that could not be- carried away
has been destroyed. The houses Of
the town are filled only with smashed
furniture Even crockery was destroy
ed-smashed upon the floor of the
houses which the Germans looted. The
convent was entered and the furniture
there destroyed. Clothing that vas
found was torn to pieces, and pianos
piled about haphazardly in heaps.
The st. Quentin Cathedral was seen
to burst into flames suddenly on Wed
nesday evening. All night long it
burned. The light from the great pile
illuminated the vast German denuded
devasted plain before the town for a
distance of fifteen miles.
Set Villages on Fire.
Early Thursday the roof of the
cathedral collapsed. The great arches
went crashing down into the burning
debris. All combustible material N
the cathedral was then gradually con-
Sumed.
AS the fire died out only the roof
less, the Quilted walls of the cathedral
remained. AS a background to this
picture of desolation as viewed from
the French lines, the smoke of villages
beyond then began to rise
