London, Nov. 4 Stephen Graham in a London newspaper paints a pic ture of the great city which Archan gel has become on account of the war. He says: When I last visited Archangel six years ago it was' a dreamy, lifeless melancholy port. One felt that like its sister city Klolmagora, it had i once been great, but its greatness had finally set. You could feel the melancholy of Russia there, the sad less of material failure so character istic of the Russian soul, irut today! Today the vision has fled, the tem po has changed. All the ships of the world find anchorage in her harbor, J and motley crowds throng her streets that the war has brought about. A year vefore the war 50 vessels enterned Archangel port. During the last 12 months many ships have en tered. Great liners and transports and weather-beaten tramps and three deck river boats stand in majestic pride. Their smoke and steam make a dome over the city of Archangel when you approach it from the north. -There are Norwegians and -Yankee, with their colors flamboyantly painted on their bows to warn the submarine -off; Russians and French, with their tri-colors steaming; but most of all, English ships with their proud ran-washed Union Jacks lolling in the wind. After I returned from Ekaterina I was taken through the whole harbor in a little arrow-like steam launch from the Thames! Go into the chief restaurant of ' SltV ilk" $ ' . A ?

(I. N. S. Correspondent.) Paris, Nov. 4. I have just made a pilgrimage to the martyred city of Rheims, the holy city of France, and I have returned impressed by its beauty and-heroism. Rheims refused to die. For more than two . years German shells have been falling in its streets. They-have destroyed the pride of the town, .the glorious cathedral, they have left no stone untouched of the old palace of the archbishop and they have set fire to houses without number. They have driven out of the city a part of the oldest, the weakest and the most wealthy. They have de stroyed values that can never be re placed, but they have only strength ened the will to live of the people of this wealthy city of Champagne. The only thought of the people of Rheims is of their beloved cathedral -which the Germans first declared had been bombarded "through a mistake. "That mistake has now been repeat ed so often that more thap 1,500 shells have struck the famous build ing. The sight of the ruined main en trance between the towers brings tears to the eyes-of , the city's people. They will never forget the day when it took fire. According to a story believed here the fire was due to a man who had lived among them for years, honored and respected, the millionaire cham pagne manufacturer Mumm, now fighting as er's army.
