SHARP DESCRIBES
CHURCH'S BOMBING
ON GOOD FRIDAY

/. The horrible shambles caused by
the collapse OF tons OF masonry from
the vauIted arches of the Paris
church bombarded by the Germans on
Good Friday is graphically described
in a paraphrase OF the report OF the
incident by United States Ambassador
Sharp, made public by the State De
partment today. The statement fol
lows:
'The appalling destruction wrought
by the shells is, as the ambassador
remarks. probably not equaled by any
single discharge of any hostile gun in
the cruelty and horrors of Its results.
In no other one spot in Paris, even
where poverty had gathered on that
holy day TO worship, could destruc'
ton Of life have been so great.
Nearly a hundred mRngled corpses
lying in the morgue. with almost as
many seriously wounded. attested to
the measure OF the toll exacted.
Tons of Solid Masonry.
"Far up to the high-vaulted arches.
between the flying buttresses well to
the front OF the church, is a great
gap in the wall from which fell upon
the heads Of the devoted woTshipers
many tons of solid masonry. 1t was
this that caused such a great loss OF
life.
"As the ambassador entered the
church where but a few hours before
had been gathered the worshipers,
he could easily picture the scene that
followed the explosion. The amount
Of debris remaining just as il fell on
the floor covered the entire space be
tween the lofty columns supporting
the arches at each side. Only a
miracle could have saved from death
or serious injury those who escaped
the failing mass. The scene Was that
II some horrible shambles. and it was
until well into the night that all the
Sodies were recovered. Upon the
door in many places could still be
seen the Blood of the victims, among
vh"m were many prominent anc
Soll-tO.do people.
Called to SymphnthIzc.
THE ambassador called to express
his sympathy to his Swiss colleague.
whose lifelong friend, the secretary
II the Swiss legation, was killed
while leaving the church. The min
ster was deeply affected as he spoke
Il the great loss to him through the
secretary's death. The secretary was
we'll known in Washington, where he
served with the Swiss legation from
1907 to 1901, and was very highly
esteemed by all who knew him.
In conclusion Mr.. Sharp says that
the exceptional circumstances under
which this tragedy occurred. both as
o tn" sacred character of the day and
the place, have greatly aroused the
indignation OF the people OF Paris
toward an enemy who seeks to de-
stroy human life without regard to
the immunities prescribed by the laws
of civilization and humanity. and in
stead OF terrorizing the people the
shells or the great cannon as well
