Gen. Won HauSen Declares Sax
ems He'd City When Cathe-
dfaI Vas Damaged.
SHELLED By Won GuELDW
Prussian Guard Bomhards City After.
It Was Occupied by the Germans,
According 30 the Commander of
Saxon Third Army.

Berlin Jan 1Reims cathedral
was damaged by German shel fire
the first time September 4, l914, when
the prussian guard bombarded the
city for two hours. even after it had
been occupied an entire day by Sax
on troops. according to Lieut. Gen.
Baron Won. Hausen, then commander
of the Saxon Third army. who has just
published "reminiscences OF the FIRST
battle OF the Marne.
The revelations of Baron Won
Hausen are prefaced by statement
which declares that, while the Gerl
mans have been searching helplessly
for the guilt OF those who started the
war. an entire year has passed in
which no attempt has been made to
establish the responsibility for the
bombardment of the cathedral city.
He explodes the theory of the mill
tars leaders who declared the firing
on Reims was forced by military ne
cessity In view of the fact that tha
French were said TO have used the
towers of the cathedral for observa-
tion posts and emplaeements For guns.
''At noon, September 3" General
Won Hansen writes, "Reims was firm
ly held by the Saxons A few hours
later, however, IL was learned that
the city was being hombarded by the
Prusslan guard The guard had fired
ostensibly because three couriers had
failed to return.
September 4. the guard bonlbarded
Reims for two hours.
After tle hombardment Won Bue-
loM sent word that he had imposed
fine Of 50.000000 francs. which
would be increased TO 100.O0o.000 if
the couriers were not released In two
days"
Baron Won Hausen's "reminiscences
say General Won Buelow imposed the
fine without knowing whether the
couriers had arrived at Reims and
that the fact was they did not reach
Reims. General Won Buelow Is said
to have ordered the bombardment
without knowing whether 1t was de-
Tended.
Discussing the question Of guilt for
the firing on Reims, the vosslsche
Zeitung says:
"Chef guilt for the fearful act un-
questionably Is on Lieutenant Gem
eral Won Hausen, who knew the Sec
ond army planned an attack on Reims
and took 1t ahead of that time, fall
ing 10 notify General won Buelow OF
the clty's occupation. thus exposing
his own troops In Reims to lombard
ment."
