PARIS ROUSED
TO A EURY
By Ruthless Destruction Of An
cient Gothic Cathedral In
City Of Rheims.
(By William Phillip Simms, Uni
ted Press Staff Correspondent.)
Paris, Sept- 22.—Never had
the spirit of France approached
bthe point of blind anger mingled
■with grief as today when the
full realization of the govern
ment’s announcement of the
ruin of the Rheims Cathedral by
German artillery dawned upon
the people. The stories of the
destruction of the Gothic pile
and the cold outline of the de
tails of the relic’s destruction
first appalled them, then horror
gave way to rage.
Heretofore Paris has viewed
the war calmly without great
show of passion or hatred. But
the statement of the government
that the Cathedral of Rheims
was destroyed “without military
necessity” but “for the sole
pleasure of destroying” has
aroused the city. The historic
and artistic loss with the de
struction of the Cathedral has
stirred the city more than would
the destruction of a division of
men, which would be accepted as
one of the fortunes of war.
Although the city of Rheims
had been set on fire in several
places by the bombardment of
the German guns stationed on
heights four miles away, when
the first shell struck the Cathe
dral none would believe it was j
not a stray shot. As the hotel
De Ville of Louvaine was spared
so the people also hoped the Ca
thedral would be spared. But
soon after the first shot struck
the building there was another.
It crashed into a century old
wall and tore a great hole. Then
the fires of hell broke loose over
this house of God.
German wounded had been
housed in the Cathedral. The
Red Cross flag it bore supposed- j
ly guaranteed it protection. But
down upon tne uermans witn
prayers that the Cathedral
might be spared. Both spires |
came crashing down while long
tongues of flame licked their
way along the massive old beams .
of carved wrood.
I
Where the feet of worshippers
had trod for centuries flames ;
leaped and age-old stones rolled
from their places. About the
Cathedral shells screeched and
went crashing into other build
ings. The Hotel De Ville, the i
sub-prefecture and the Museum j
were ablaze and tottering to de- ]
struction. But high above all j
leaped the flames of the Cathe- J
dral. |
The famous structure stood in
bold relief and was plainly visi
ble to the German gunners Had
they chosen to spare it. The
German wounded carried first to
the Museum were transferred
again when the destruction of
that building began. Bit by bit
the story of fhe outraging of
Rheims is being reviewed
Frenchmen declare the story is
blacker than that told of Lou
vain.
