. Rheims and the battles for its possession . rtistic treasures of France and oneof the most ancient evidences of her history. In 1814 the then Allies bom-barded Rheims but respected the Cathedral. It is true that there were Germanswho found fault with this respectful forbearance. One of them, Johann JosephGoeres, author of a voluminous work entitled Christian Mysticism, daredto write in April, 1814: Destroy, reduce to ashes, this Rheims basilica, whereChlodovic was consecrated, and where ivas born that empire of the Franks, those turncoat brothers of the noble Germans; burn the Cathedral. In thecourse of the recent war the Germans followed the vindictive advice of Goeres, although, less frank than he, they did not dare, in face of the indignation ofChristendom and of the whole world, boast of their vandalism. By way of excuse they alleged sometimes errors in firing, sometimes thatthe French had established a battery of artillery near the Cathedral and anobservation-post in one of the towers (a projector was installed on the Cathc-. ■ •■ THE PIERCED VAULTING AM) TOWERS OF THE CATHEDRAL IN 1919 32 drill, but on September, 13, 1914, i.e. the day that the French re entered Rheims, and it remained there only one night). On November 9, 1914, General Rouquerol declared to the French Govern-ment, who had demanded an enquiry, that the nearest battery to the Cathedralwas at that time more than 1, 200 yards away; that on the day (September19) the Cathedral was set on fire by the German shells, the nearest Frenchbatteries were still quite close to the spot occupied by the above-mentionedbattery, whose position the French Premier verified personally. The Generalconcluded that the German artillery could not have made an error of 1, 200yards in firing, but that they had deliberately aimed at the Cathedral. The Cathedral, though terribly shattered, is still standing. The descriptionof the edifice (pp. 33 to 60) gives particulars of the damage and destructionswhich occurred princi
