LOUVAIN, Bélgium, Jime 21.— Out of the ashes of old Louvain, sacked by the Germansiin 1914 a new city has arisen. Stately buildings and broad thor- oughfares have obliterated the cars of war, though the memor- of that fateful August are on the minds of many nhabitants. . wa~ 20 years ago this August 19 that -th> “ihvaders swepi into thc city 2nd was on the seventh pation that whole aflame, civilians thg ngs” were :ndd for a wesk.

The famous librafy 'of 'Louvain vniversity had been burned to the yround and with it its prickldss treasures, manuscripts, first edi- tions, incunabula, ‘and ‘& Uhique :cllection of religious and sclgntuic works. by Now, 20 years later, have been healed. Chief pride of modern Louvain is the new HNbrary, designed by ‘Whitney Warren and built largely with American’ funs, Wwhich ‘occu- pies the east side of the Place du Peuple. The stacks of the library now hold more than 750,000 books, com- pared with the 350,000 burned, and a steady flow of modern and ancient books continues to arrive. Some come from Germany, as provided by the Versailles treaty. Through the intervention of an in- ternational committee, another an- nual supply is insured. The 1500 incunabula, the series of successive editions of the Bible, the ynique collection of Jesuitica, 950 manuscripts and other ancient documents have been replaced only in part, but to date the library the scars War plundering rcached a high pifch at Lcuvain in the summer of 1914.
