the walls are still ill existence. Since that Christmas eve of 1850 the doors of the cathedral have never been closed( with the exceptions of brief period in 1759. when the building was part ly wrecked by bombs and flames. The work of rearing the celebrated relig- ious edifice was commenced in 1645, the wealthy people of Quebec having contributed for that purpose 1,250 beaver skins" which were sold to start the building fund. The cornerstone was laid by Governor Montmagny and Father Lalemont, the Superior of the Jesuits and brother of the famous missionary who was killed by the ln- dians. A part of the building was com
 pleted in time for the Christmas eve mass of 1650 but it was not until nearly seven years late rthat the edi flee was formally opened. The cathe- dral is seven years later that the edi- flee was formally opened. The cathe dral is one of the finest. architectural ly, in North America, and can accomo- date 4,000 people.

International Marriages.

The first international marriage of an American heiress to an European to attract general attention was that of Elizabeth Patterson and Jerome Bonaparte, performed in Baltimore 115 years ago today, Dec. "A, 1903. The bride was the daughter of William Patterson, wealthy merchant of the Maryland metropolis. She was about eighteen years old when Jerome Bona parte, brother of Napoleon, came to America in command of a French fri gate When he visited Baltimore he met Miss Patterson and immediately fell in love with her, and soon pro- posed. After the wedding the couple travelled for a year all over America and in 1895 embarked for Europe. Ma poleon was dissatisfied with the mar riage, and refused to permit Mime. Bonaparte to land in France. She found a refuge in England, where she gave birth to son, the founder of the famous American Bonaparte family. Jerome by induced by Napoleon to abandon his wife, and marry prin- cess, and they never met again, eX- cept in a casual way many years after their separation.

ECKHARDT DISMISSED
 ON WARNING OF U. s.

Washingt Dec 23-An indict- government was responsible for the decision of the German authorities to dispense with the services of the notorious Minister von Eckhardt at Mexico City. It was learned Offici- ally today that hint was transmit ted to Berlin recently that it was diff ficult in reconcile Richards contin- uad anti-American and anti-ally pro paeanda with the new German gov ernment's protestations of regard for the United States and repeated ap- peals for food supplies.
 Evidence of Eckhardt's influence in the Mexican capital was seen today in a report from Ambassador Fletcher that Fl Pueblo, government organ. had published a denial of the minis ter's recall.
 The state department has been ad- vised of the recall, although evident ly there has been no official amour cement of it at Mexico City. Am bassado Fletcher said the neWspa- pers there other than Fl Pueblo were saying Eckhardt's mission had end ed, though he had not decided as to leaving the country
 It is understood that the German government also has issued orders for the discontinuance generally of anti-American propaganda in MeXi- CO.,
 The Associated Press dispatch from Mexico City Satu friday announcing the recall of Eckhardt disclosing that the minister at last had informed the Mexican foreign office although until additional orders were received l he apparently had been keeping tC himself the notice he had received | from Berlin more than five weeks l ago through the Mexican Ambassador at Washington.
 1 Ambassador Bonnillas left Wash
 ington for Mexico City several week! ago. It was explained at the tim,
 that he was making a trip that ha( i been arranged long in advance.

 WAS SIGNED lO4
 YEARS AGO TODAY
Cathdral at Quebec. One of the Most Famous Edifices in North America; First Mass 26S Years Ago.

This Christmas Eve marks the 104th anniversary of that profoundly im- portant event, the signing of the treaty peace between English-speaking peo- l pies. The The invasion of the Ger ! mans four years ago prevented the 1 proper observance of the n-hundredth anniversary of the great occasion, but l the foundations for peace between those peoples laid then, are now being strengthened at the Peace Council at Versailles.
 Ghent is city of dramatic memor- ies, and the coming of the Teuton hordes was but one of many visita- tions of like character. Founded in the seventh century, it became during the middles ages one of the richest cities of Europe, and center for warlike plots and political uprisings. The peo- pie of Ghent rebelled against the Count of Flanders in the fourteenth cen- tury, against Phillip of Burgundy in the fifteenth ventury, and aaginst En- tury In 1867 the famous agreement known as the "Pacification of Ghent" was entered into for the pupose of driving out the Spanish soldiers In the ancient part of the city old Span ish houses with pointed roofs still stand as relics of that era of Ghent's history when it was dominated by Spain, unless the Germans have de. stroyed them
 The American and British peace commissioners of a century ago, after many stormy sessions, at length reach- led an agreement, and the treaty was |signed on Christmas Eve, 1914, in the convent of Chartreux Ghent was then included in the Netherlands, haing but recently been under French domina- tion, and it was not until 1880 that the kingdom of Belgium was founded and ;Ghent became the capital of East Flanders. The old Ghent City Hall, where in the throne room the banquet was held on Christmas Day to cele- brate the signing of the treaty, still remains as one of the historic monu- ments of Ghent
 Modern Ghent is--or was until war put an end to it's activities-a thriv- ing industrial center with popula- tion of about 190,OO0. It is about 35 miles northwest of Brussels, and Os- tend and Antwerp are each about forty miles away. A canal connects it with Antwerp, making it practically sec port. The city is at the onfluence oi the Lys, Scheldt, Lierre and Koere ri. vers, and these streams and the canals divide the city into into twenty-six is. lands, making it a miniature Venice More than two hundred bridges span the streams and the canals, connect ing various parts of the city. The an cient fortresses, convents, churches and other picturesque edifices of the past, are surrounded by modrn fac tory buildings and mills, the principa industry in peace times having beer the weaving and printing of cettor goods. The Belgians are preparing fol great efforts in the matter of reviv. ling the great efforts in the matter O.

With the American Army in
France May 30.-(By the Associ-
Gted Press. )-From Flanders to
Switzerland and from the battle
line to the sea. the American expe-
ditionary forces today are paying
homage to their dead. Wherever
American flags are flying they are
at half mast and before the day is
over the Star Spangled Banner and
flowers will be placed in virtually
every American grave.
At some points the ceremony
took place early in the morning
while other exercises were held at
various times throughout the day.
Daylight saw some graves deco
rated.
At one place in the vicinity of
Luneville, the graves had been dec
GRATED in the morning darkness
when the enemy could not see
clearly for the soldiers performing
this duty might have drawn the Ger
man fire as did the burial party.
Here both the American and
French flags were placed on the
mounds with punches of wild flow
ers-great blood red poppies and
yellow and white daisies.
