CITY OF RHEIMS
REDUCED TO DUST
BY ENEMY SHELLS
Continued from Page ~

Eahein1s, before the war a city of
more than 100000 population, has
slowly but none the less surely been
falling a victim to German hate and
spitefulness
In their first advance in the fall of
1914 the Germans held Rheims for
several days, but the battle of the
Marine stopped their advance and
they fell back to line few miles
north amid northeast of the City. Since
then the big German guns have been
bombarding the city and its. famous
cathedral.
The population Of the city a few
months ago was about $4,000, but
these persons lived in dugouts or in
cellars, and the city virtually was
dead.
The cathedral was one of the most
magnificent examples of early Gothic
architecture and was begun IN lzlz-
The west facade has three portals,
which contain about $50 statues.
Above the portals was the gorgeous
rose window, 10 feet in diameter and
one of the finest specimens OF the arr

Since thea whenever the German
troops met with reverses, the enemy
guns took up the bombardment anew,
Until the latest borbardment the ca

1eaden roofs had been DESTROYED and
the rose window was virtually so.
In January, 1917, Emperor William,

Benedict, said he would permit re-
pairs to be made to the cathedral in
his endeavor 'tto preserve from the
terrors Of war venerable places Of
worship and monuments of art which
I consider as the common property oS

The German military authorities
have attempted to excuse the bonn

ground that the building was used for
military purposes by the French. This

SAVE AND SACRIFICE
IN CRITICAL HOUR
"Time to Gather Up Our
Courage and Overcome
Every Obstacle" He Says

Hartford, April 19-Gov. Holcomb,
each person in Connecticut, "by saw;

third Liberty loan, to the end that
our cause may prevail and righteous
peace be established" In the proc
lamation the governor says:
'Tt is the critical hour of the war"

to gather up all our courage to make

The text of the proclamation fol-

A PROCLAMATION.
Today our government is asking us
to subscribe for the third Liberty

can tell. France, England and Italy,
wearied by years of cruel war, are
fighting with a spirit born of the
high cause to which they have pledg-
ed their allegiance. They look to
us for help and we demand that it
be given. It is d time for us to
gather up all our courage, to make
every effort, and to overcome every
obstacle. We must hurry our SOL
diers over the sea, we must build
ships, we must provide supplies. 1t
is for US to furnish the money to do
these things. Our generous support
will give strength to our country,
cheer to our allies, and discomfort
to the enemy.
Now, therefore, hereby call upon
the people of this commonwealth to
respond to this call of our govern
ment, earnestly urging each person
by savings and sacrifices to share in
this loan, to the end that our cause
may prevail and a righteous peace be
established.

WILLIAM DEAN HoWELLIs.

William Dean Towels, the dean of American letters, was born 81 years ago today at Martins Ferry, Ohio. Like his friend, the late Mark Twain, Mir. Howells gained the, most valua- ble part of his education in a news paper office. Oxford, Yale, Harvard, Columbia and other universities have hononed themselves by conferuing de- grees upon the author, but in his youth he knew them not. His father was the owner of country news paper in the Buckeye State, and in that office Willie as the venerable writer was known in his youth, set type, wrote and edited news items, and made himself generally useful. At the age of 19 he became core spondent of the Cincinnati Gazette. Later he was employed by the Ohio State Journal in Columbus, and at '22 was made news editor of that publi- cation. Throughout the Civil war he was United States consul at Venice, where he gained the material for writing such entertaining essays as '1talian Journeys and ! Venetian Life'' On his return to America he became an editorial writer for the New York Times and from 1866 to 1881 was associate editor of the At lantic Monthly. For more than half a century he has been engaged in writing books, including novels, b1og- raphies, essays and poems.
