SHELLS BARE KINGS TOMB
Rip Open Door Of Twelfth Century
Church Built BY the
Franks.

Paris.-Members OF the archaeOlog-
ical mission, charged with the study Of
the reconstruction Of the Rheims
Cathedral, report that German shells
that ripped open the floor of the
twelfth century church have disclosed
another cathedral, built by the Franks
and which contained the tomb of King
Clovis for 1894 years. 1t is expected
that further excavation will reveal the
whole foundation of the historic ca
thedral, built by early Frankish archi-
tects, and disclose al least the general
outline of the rare architecture of that
time. Other vestiges uncovered by
shells include a mosaic floor, of the
purest Louis XIV style, which history
records was built by Violet LIE Due,
architect, in order to keep the present
cathedral strictly within the lines OF
the twelfth century.
