CHALONS SUR MARNE, Sept. 21. The Germans
continued bombarding the principal buildings of Rheims
all yesterday and last night. Debris and crumbling walls
are'all that is lel't of the thirteenth century cathedral, the
most remarkable extant of the early Gothic architecture.
In addition to the cathedral, the museum, hospital and city
were nil for the greater part destroyed. In spile of the
bombardment and repeated attacks, the Germans have
been unable to take Rhohns.
The allies have repused the 'Gorman attacks and have
made several impetuous counter attacks in which their in
fantry charged with magnificent bravery regardless of a
terrible storm ol serapnei. The iirsl ranks sullered ter-
ibly, but as fast as tho men Jell, others rushed up to tauo
their places and when the enemy's lines were readied,
there was a furious hand-to-hand encounters in which tho
Hermans were forced to give ground, except on the
Heights of Brhnon, which, owing to an overwhelming ma
chine gun fire tho Germans captured.
At the same time the French made a fierce assault on
the heights of Laponipollc, which they carried at the point
of the baynot. The struggle there was desperate and af
ter the retirement of the Germans, many Turcos were
found dead of bayonet wounds with their hands clasped in
Mich vice-like grips around the necks of antagonists that
they literally had to be pried open.
Persons who have return from Rheims say it is difficult
to find words to describe these attacks and counter attacks
of the infantry amid showers of shot and shell and in a
deluge of rain.
Soldiers are coining back covered with mud and drench
ed b heavy rains which continue. The chalky, clay
ground north of Rheims has been so softened, they say,'
that it will be impossible for a retreating army to get
away with their artillery.
