Find Old Church Ruins
Under Rheims Cathedral
Workmen lInearth Traces Of
5th and 9th Century Holy
Structures

PARIS, March 12.-The work of re-
pairing the ruined Cathedral of Rheims
has brought to light the buried re-
mains of ancient churches which for
merly stood on the same site. Under
the pavement of the choir, which was
shattered by German shells, have been
found the old foundations of the
Cathedral of st. Hincmar, which was
destroyed by fire in the ninth century.
Beneath these ruins workmen came
upon traces of the first church to stand
on this hallowed ground, the Church
of st. Remi, built in the fifth century.
Under the broken high altar was dis
covered a hoard of $50 pieces of an
cient silver and near this a sealed up
and long forgotten we'll. From the
bottom of this we'll worn lead pipe
leads the water away into the earth
and it is thought that this originally
connected with the long lost baptismal
font where Clovis was received into
the Church. Antiquarians from all
parts of France have come to Rheims
to examine the discoveries.

Reds Take Window Panes
To Rehabilitate Treasury
Glazing in Homes Delivered Up
to Lenine's Police in
Lieu of Taxes

Nicolai Lenine's latest triumph Of
craftsmanship is reported to be aboli-
tion of taxes, to which the soviets OBJ
5ected because they savored too much
cf the bourgeois. Still, even a Bolshe-
vik government must have revenue if
it is to live, SO something had to be de-
vised to take the place of taxes. There
fore, just as the army has been re-
named Red Gdard and the ministers
Commissaries of the People, tax gath
ering has been dubbed "recuperation
weeks"
Thus the poor Russians are from time
to time subjected to "clothing week"
"cOpper week." footwear week." ETC., in
which they must surrender the articles
indicated. And now the latest novelty is
window pane" week, in which all
householders are required to deliver
up the glazing of their windows. 1t
was ticklish task to perform, but
Lenine and his police have accom-
plished it.
So, while the winter winds whistle
through the open easements, the Boil
shevik government exults in the tri-
umph of great principle, the abolition
of the bourgeois system of taxation.

Potsdam Architects
Humor Causes Drama
Puts Caricature of City Official
in Embellishments ON
Public Rui1diHu

BERLIN, March 12. - There is an
architect in Potsdam who has discov-
cred that sense Of humor is not al
ways valuable asset.
The municipal treasury building at
Potsdam was recently remodeled.
When the city fathers came to inspect
the completed work they noticed that
there was something oddly familiar
about the features of one Of the gar
goyles, who leered from the top of a
pillar The head was a most hideous
creation, but it was also a likeness of
the municipal accountant.
The architect was summoned and on
being questioned admitted that it was
caricature Of the accountant. He
hastened to explain that it was only
made of plaster Of paris, 50 that it
could easily be destroyed if the ac-
countant did not appreciate the deli
cacy of the joke. The head was
smashed at once and the architect
reprimanded before the council. Other
prominent citizens who feel bit sensl-
tive about their personal beauty are
now carefully examining the remaining
gargoyes.

LONDON, March 12.-When the will
of man who died at st. Leonards
was read recently it was found that he
had left his wife "the sum of one shill-
ing to enable her to buy a rope

Sure That Province Would Be

PARIS, March 12.-An interesting
patriotic ceremony occurred here re-

MADE OF legacy written many years
ago by French Alsatian, who in his
will left grant to be distributed
among five soldiers who especially dis
tinguished themselves in the great war
that was to restore Alsace- Lorraine to
France.
The name of the Alsatian was Metz
ger. He died in 1902, but felt so sure
OF the restoration of the lost provinces
that he gave in trust to the town of st.
Germain the five legacies, each of 500
francs. Each of the five men who re-
ceived the gift had the Medaille Mill
talre and the Legion of Honor. Two of
them still are in the army, one is an
