RHEIMS NOW PILE
OF SMOKING RUINS
German Hate Finally Has
Wiped Out What Remain
ed of City.
CATHEDRAL IS ABOUT GONE

By the Associated Press.
PARIS. April 1e.-Rheims. which has
been on fire for a week. is now nothing
but great pile Of smoking ruins. Dur
ing the last week the Germans have
fred more than 100000 shells into the
heart of the city, according to the cor
respondent of LIE Matin, and flames
from the burning buildings can be seen
by aviators sixty and seventy miles
away.
There are no traces of streets and
thoroughfares which have disappeared
from view under the accumulation OF
debris. Ancient buildings in the Place
Royale and the market place and the
musicians house. which dates from the
sixteenth century, have been reduced to
dust and ashes.
Cathedral Melting Away.
The vaulting of the famous Rheims
cathedral, the correspondent says. is
falling stone by stone and soon there
will be nothing left OF the ediflce but
the west front and the pillars. Shells
are still bursting all around the build
ing.
notwithstanding the terrible bonn
bardment, forty Paris firemen are still
in the city working to save the furnt-
ture and portable effects of the inhabi-
tants. Others have lost their lives. with
the Paris f1remen are some local nre-
men, one Of whom, Sergt. Eloi, has been
on duty in Rheims since the outbreak OF
the war and has been wounded fourteen
times.

Cathedral Melting Away.
Victim of German Hate.

Rheims, before the war a city of
more than 100000 souls, has slowly. but
none the less surely. been falling VIC
time to German hate and spitefulness-
In their first advance in the fall OF
1914 the Germans held Rheims for sev-
eral days, but the battle of the Marine
stopped their advance and they fell
back to line few miles north and
northeast of the city. Since then the
big German guns have been lombard

The population of the city until a few
months ago was less than $4,000. but
these persons lived in dugouts or In
The cathedral was one of the most
magnificent examples Of early Gothic
architecture and was begun in 1912

The German military authorities
have attempted to excuse the bonn
bardment of the cathedral on the
ground that it was being used for
military purposes by the French. This
claim has been denied repeatedly by
Archbishop Lucon, who. until a few
weeks ago, made his home in his resi-

Can Parry German Effort.

R"t. If the British retire out of Ypres,
no serious, consequences need follow.
They can straighten their line and
shorten it. They have had for three
years prepared positions against just
such an eventuality and these positions
run from the high ground west of
KENNEL somewhere in front or Just
behind Poperinghe and thence to the
flooded0district of the User, where con-
tact is made with the Be1gfans. When
such a retreat is made, II 1t should be
made, then the whole German effort to
thrust a wedge between the allies in
France and in Belgium will be dean-
itely parried, the allied line will run
straight from the high ground north
Of Arras to the sea at 1Nieuport, one
more dangerous salient will be ironed
out; that Is the extent of the immediate
military consequences.
At the end Of the first month of the
German offensive the effort to isolate
the British from the French and the
British and Belgian armies in Belgium
from the British army in France has
failed; the advance both to Amiens and
to the channel has sbeen temporarily
checked. So far the British have lost
men, guns and positions. but they have
not lost their organization; they have
replaced their lost guns and men, and
the positions surrendered are in no
sense vital

Now Hold Strong Positions.
East and north Of Ypres the British
are now holding the strong positions in
which they defended Ypres From April.
1915. to the start Of last years offens-
i've. while at certain points they still
hold ground lost in April. 1915. but sue
cessfully defended in November, 1914.
So far. then. the statement of Gen.
Maurice that the British by shortening
their front have Strengthened It. is
true. and in addition they have been
able to get some $4,000 men and q mass
OF heavy artillery and material out of
the bad corner in which they were
placed by the German success at Mes
sines.
On the other hand. unless the British
can retake and hold the Messines- -Wyt-
schaete ridge. further retirement out of
Ypres seems inevitable. since the German
guns and the German observers on this
ridge command not only the roads open to
the defenders OF Ypres for munitions, but
also the rear Of their lines of defense east
and north OF Ypres. For q certain num-

Ypres. for KENNEL commands both Ypres

LIGHT HORSESHOE IS IDEAL

The ideal horseshoe is one which Is
light. consistent with a months wear.
This will keep the foot level instead
as is the case with Il heavy shoe and
heels-of putting the greater pressure
on the toe. Very careful examination
and calculation. has proved that If n
fOur-puund shoe is uSed--as is some
times the case on heavy horSeS--a
horse. in an ordinary days work lifts
80 tons on each foot. or POS tons in all
more than is necessary. This of course,
involves a needless expenditure of mus
culnr energy. and more feed is needed
to keep the animal in proper condition.
With a lighter shoe the owner would
not only relieve the horse, but lessen
his grain bill.
