PAGE TWO THE ROBESONIAN, MONDAY, SEPT. 28, 1914. NOTED CATHEDRAL RUINED. Cathedral at Rheims Ruined by Artill ery Fire Greale&.t Loss From , Historical and Artistic Sence of Present Wai. T.ie famous Cathedral of Rheims, Frar.ee, v.as destroyed last week and other public buildinps cither laid in ruins or seriously "damaged by Ger man artillery fire. Coupled with thb anunouncement was tha statement that the French Government had de cided to address all the powers a note of indipnant protest against "this act of odious vandalism." The destruction of the Cathedral cf Rheims is considered the greatest loss from an historical and artistic sense of the present war. Begun on the site of an earlier church and continued at intervals down to the Fifteenth Century, it has been described as the "most " perfect example in grandeur and grace of Gothic style in existence. The west front, which was begun about 1241.42,is said to be the most beautiful structure produced during the Middle Ages, with its deeply re cessed triple portal and the wonderful rose window that surmounts :t. This window, more than 40 feet in diameter, was reported in cable dis patches yesterday as having been destroyed by a shell. It was in tho Cathdral of Rheims that the succes sive Kings of France from Philip II to Charles X were crowned and it was there the Maid of Orleans stood, ban ner in hand, before the great altar and saw the coronation of Charles VII which marked the fulfillment of her vision. The elaborate richness of the sculp ture, its stined glass and statuary are not surpassed in any existing structure. . The north transept over the Sfler! sty 'was a clock said to have been the oldest moving piece of horology in existence. Among the priceless Cathedral treasures were some wonderful church plates of the early jenturies; reliqua- .'''Crowrfjthe skull of St. Ramy and countless tapestries some dr.ting from the Fifteenth century. ' In a chapel attached to the vestry was a rare collection of sculpture, in cluding the famous Sarcophagus of Jovinus, the Roman prefect of Rheims who was converted into Christianity in 336. The archbishop's palace, also reported as destroyed is a doubk chapely dating from about 1230. There the monarchs of France were house 1 at their coronations and there Joan of Arc lodged when she came to Rheims to crown Charles VII. The palace adjoins the Cathedral and about a quarter of a mile to the southwest 's the church of St. Jacques, also re ported destroyed or seriously damag ed in the bombardment. Another church of great antiquity and inter est is that of St. Remy, but no men tion of its fate is made. The Hotel de Ville, also said to os ruined or badly damaged by shell fire, was commenced in 1627 but not com pleted until the present century. It contained a magnificent library, seve ral hundred volumes of manuscripts, some antiquities and a good collec tion of paintings.

Washington Dispatch, 24th. President Wilson today manifested to callers his displeasure over recent utterances of some of the diplomats accradited to the United States from belligerent Governments. He men tioned no names and told newspaper men he would make no comment, pre ferring that the discussion be conduct ed through the regular channels of the State Department. Three published interviews in particular have given the United States Government offense, one by the Turkish Ambt-srador, A. Rustem Bey. another by Sir Lionel Carden, Brit ish Minister to Mexico, and a third attributed to Baron von ' Schoen, formerly secretary of the German Embassy at Tokio, which has been formally repudiated by him. Whether other interviews have been taken up officially has not been divulged. Thu Turkish Ambassador given an opportunity to withdraw his remarks, informed the President he did not care to change his views and would leave the United States soon on leave of absence. An explanation of the remarks of Sir Lionel - Carden, who criticised President Wilson's policy is expected to be forwarded by the British For eign Office. Baron von Schoen called on Acting I Secretary.. Lansing of the State De ' partment and personally repudiated an interview in which he was repre sented as saying that war between the the United States and Japan was inevitable. The German Secretary's . explanation was accepted by Mr. Lan sing. The Ambassador refused to discuss his action further than to say he had asked his government for leave Ox absence, which he was certain would be granted, and would leave for Con- stantinopt. within 10 days. fThe announcement of e Amba. ; sador's withdrawal, though ,n,ot un expected, caused a profound sens.i. : tion in diplomatic circles. '' Coming close on another diploma tic interview yesterday of which the Administration at once took cogni zance that of Baron von Schoen of the German Embassy on the possibil ity of war between the United States and Japan, it was interpretted as an indication of President Wilson's de. termination to silence comment by foreign diplomatists, considered dan- ; gerous to the neutrality of this coun try. It was understood the President would decline to receive diplomatists, dio make comments which he con siders obnoxious. Although Count , von Bernstorff and Baron Schoen have repudiated the Baron's interview, the State department, at the direction of the President, today was still looking into it. j The Turkish Ambassador, in his in- terview considered particularly objec. ; tionable by the Administration, said the sending of American warships to ' Turkey in connection with the report : of uprisings igainst Christians would ; lead to a serious situation. At the same time he said, while massacres had previously occurred in Turkey ' they were the same acts as many i people might commit under provoca tion. By the way of illustration he reminded the American people of the lynchings of negroes and the "water cures" in the Phillippines. The Ambassador later explained to Administration officials personally and by letter. The President directed Mr. Bryan to say in answer that the I statements made by the Ambassador I were objectionable to the American j Government and but for the fact that i a tense situation exists in Turkey which he did not desire to aggravate, I the diplomatic impropriety committed j by the Ambassador might be a sub ject for discussion with the Ottoman i Government. i The President asked whether the ! Ambassador cared to make any ex : pression and today's announcement that he did not wish to alter his view j ing any way and would leave in a fort ! night was the envoy's reply. Little Tilings COUNT.
