Twice great dust ckuds appeared near Rheims cat he drat, obsrurins the structure. The ulldlng was apparently unscathed but recent visitors say It Is a hollow idiel!. Shells fell regularly on Fort Le lapomello, east of Rheims where the Germans have tried to oust the French, since 1914. The bombard ment's persistence suggested an im minent attack. The attack came, the Germ-ins trying to recapture Blighny, but French colonials defeated the Huns. (John De Gandt) PARIS, Aug. 2.
