Millions of Bottles of

Rheims, Dec. :7.-Labyrinthinss
wine cellars beneath the cities OF
Rheims and Epernay are being rapid
ly put in order by the big champagne
firms of the two cities. These cellars

precious vintages and notwithstand.
ing the fact that this region was for
four years under fire from German
or Allied guns they suffered COM
paratively little damage. Losses IN

they will place heavy burden on
short time, according to statements
made to the Associated Press CORE
spondent who is visiting the former;
battle gone under special permission
from the French government.
Germans Left 1t.
German soldiers took very little
wine from the cellars when they
swept southwark over this district In
1914. Probably their confidence
that their advance meant permanent
occupation of Champagne saved the
cellars from pillage at that time and
when the reaction came they were
forced to retreat SO rapidly they had
little opportunity to invade the un-,
derground stores of wines. Four
years of bambardment destroyed the
greater part of the handsome build
ings erected by the wine companies.
but the most Of the damage done to
the stocks is attributed to French
and Allied soldiers.
Fighting men made unomcisl
requisition termed "ransoms'' and
these cost the cellars about 325,0o0,-
900 bottles, including many ire
served" vintages. Frequently ire
sponsible soldiers would bore holes in
huge casks Of unbottled wine and aft
er filling bucket would leave and
permit the remainder in the cask to
run away and be wasted 1t is be-
lieved 100000 bottles were lost in
this way.
Took 1t Cheerfully.
Champagne firms, however, took
their losses cheerfully, believing the
Allied soldiers were entitled to the
wine
Six months time will be required to
collect scattered funlabelled bottles,

termine. There is, however, a large
reserve which ia ready for the mar

plants are being reconstructed rapidly
and in few months the Rheims and
Epernay district will be ready for op-

employees of wine companies in the
