NEW RRITAIN DAILY H'ERALD,- MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1917. RHEIMS MAY STAND FOREVER IN RUIN May Be Leit As Monument to Barbarism of Prussians Paris, August 26— (Correspondence of the Associated Press)—Suggestions are being publicly advanced as to the destiny of Rheims cathedral. Dis- cussion centers on whether it should be restored as a cathedral trans- formed into some sort of a,national memorial dedicatcd to those who have lost their lives in the war, or left as & monument to Teutonic barbarism. The question cannct be definitely de- cided perhaps until the German guns have been driven from FKort Brimont and the final condition of the historic fane, after so many months of bom- bardment, can be ertained. Meanwhile Cardi Lucon, bishop of Rheims, who has rema beside his beloved cathedral through- out the bombardment, is firmly deter- mined that Rheims shall alwa have its temple. “We shall repair the Cathedral,” he has said. “It must be s0. We have casts of its statues and colored photographs of its glas: Our architect, at risk of his life, is work- Ing under the damaged arches to save what can be saved. “The day will. come when the doors will again be opened for religious pervices, for I hold fast to one thing above all, that the cathedral where th¥ first Christian king of IFranc i christened shall remain the church of France. “I protest with al my energy, and I shall never cease protesting, against any project that seeks to malk> Rheims cathedral into some kind of a museum or necropolis. Thoge who have such ideas do not consider what Rheims is for the church, for France, and for the whole world. All such proposals are impossible. “With one suggestion only, that has been made, can I associate mysel? with all my heart. ILet there be every year, a solemn celebration in the cathedral which has suffered so from German rage, in memory of those who have died for the safety of the country and the freedom of the w8rld. The whole Catholic world would join to found such a perpetual mass, and T hope that God will spare me to celebrate it myself for the first time.” h- New Gown For Eiffel Tower.
