President Polncnre today directed a
formal protest to all neutral Powers
against destruction of the historic
cathedral of Rhelms by the German
artlllerv. The bombardment Is declared
to have been conducted "for the sol--pleasure
of destro In?."
The protest of tho French Government
states:
The German troops, without mili
tary necessity, but for the sole pleas
ure of destrojing, subjetfed the
Rhplms cathedral to a systematic
and furious, bombardment. The fa
mous basilica 13 now a mass of
ruins.
The Government denounced tho "re
volting act of vandalism." and declared
It should aroupo tho Indignation of the
world.
Destruction of tho historic Cathedral
" -"of Notre Dame, officially announced by
the Minister of the Interior. Louis J.
JIaIvy, has stirred France, and the j
Government is preparing to make pro-
tests to all the Powers against the de-
itruction of ancient buildings.
Other historic edifices destroyed or '
ruined are tho 12th century Church of j
St. Jacques, the loth century Arch- '
bishop's palace and tho City Hall,
erected in the 17th century.
On Thursday the Germans wore throw
ing shells Into Rheims from batteries
itationed six miles north of the city. ,
Then they moved to the eastward, get
ting an elevated position commanding
the city.
The cathedral of Notre Dame had been
turned into a hospital and a Red Cross
flag was firing from tho roof. Inside ,
were about 500 wounded German prison- i
er.

and fragments of glass fell in showers
upon the wounded soldiers, who lay on I

It soon became apparent that the Ger-

through the roof and walls at regular
