CATHEDRAL OF ST. QUENTIN

Sacred French Edifce, Now Mute Monument to

We have thus known n has been piiiaged.
since II is n matter OF record that no single
French she'll ever reached the cathedral,
and also. that this was expressly q specific
order from the French high command
Now, with doubtless all It's interior
movable beauties carted away, the Boches
have set II on fire. They cannot blame an
allied shell, since the city Of st. Quentin
has not been under direct fire for months
IL Is simply and purely another evidence OF
German vandalism, another addition to the
many churches, great and small, from
Reims to the most modest of village houses
consecrated to God. that have bean de-
stroyed by these evil invaders from over
the Rhine
As at Reims, nothing in the necessities
Of warfare made essential the destruction
Of this ancient Cathedral Of St Quentin
Its burning the great mass OF devourins 8
flame have looked upon. Is but added evil
dence OF what the Boche is, and an added
score to settle at tho great day to come
when Prussianism is 10 be dead thing at
the feet OF the Allied armies
When looked upon ST Quentin the last
time a French officer took few amateur
photographs OF 'IIubertus Haus," which
was unable 70 secure In print In season to
forward to the EVENING LEDGER with one
Of my devastation stories. And since they
we're sent to me a few weeks later, have
thought to take them from my private coll
lection ana forward them with this story
The very glass I looked through in April
and again yesterday can be seen! 1t is
pointing directly toward the cathedral @
few kiometers away, and, OF course, Is not
seen In the photograph.

Oil Prospectors Are Busy
 in Southwest Alabama

Eufaula, August 22.-(Special.)- .)-Land- CTS in this section are greatly interested in the prospecting for oil that Is going on in southeast Alabama and Southwest Georgia that is being made by party of capitalists and oil experts from Oklahoma. one of the biggest producing states in the country. They have been making trips up and down the Chattahoochee river with engineers and geologists, who have been making surveys and securing fossils for examination by authorities at Yale uni versty It is thought that the Chatta- hoochee valley and the coastal plain to the east of the river offer excetional in- dications of oil. The Oklahoma men have gone so far as to secure options on land on both sides of the river from this city down as far as the Florida line, dis tance of 100 miles. They state that it will be six months or more before they can come to any conclusion regarding their findings. If the probability of strik- ing oil continues to increase, it is expect ed that a number of wells will be drilled at points below this city.
 If the fine promise of crop returns ma terialize this fall, the farmers of this section will be in better shape than ever before. This is already evident to a cer- tain degree by the amount of the bank deposits in this city, which have been in- creasing by leaps and bounds lately One bank shows deposits now of about three times what it has shown at this season of the year several years ago This is chief ly attributed to the high prices that holders of cotton have been receiving for the staple But with good crops and fancy prices for other products, as well
