CHURCH SHELLED

Even Up to Signing of
Armistice.
BELLS ARE CARRIED AWAY
After Suffering In 1521 Its First At
tack Sacred Edifice Got Germans'
Parthian Shot Full of His
toric Interest,
By M. L'ABBC A. POULIN.
(In tho Now York Ho.uhl.)
Mezleres. Ardennes, frnucc. It Is n
fact known to everyone that the Her
mans, after having desperately bogged
for tlie armistice, .shelled the town of
Mezleres, even up to the exact mo
ment of the beginning of , the armistice,
cowardly and without any military
reason whatever. They alined espe
cially at tho monuments, which were
well known to them, as they had oc
cupied the city for four years.
Among tlie latter the churcli is es
pecially to he mentioned. It is a fine
Gothic flamboyant structure with -five
naves, tho largest and perhaps tho
most beautiful of the country. This
church hns hud, among other princely
visitors, the honor of celebrating the
marriage ceremony of Charles IX and
Sllsnbeth of Austria (lr.TO). We make
bold to assert that It was "the last
of the churches shelled," A fact less
known, although not less interesting,
that It was also "tho first of tlie
churches to bo shelled."
Begun in 141)1), It was years old
when in 1521 tlie Imperials besieged
Mezleres, defended by Bayard, the
knight without fear or reproach. His
torians iVlatu that shells were em
ployed for the first time during this
siege. Tlie enemy shelled the town
for exactly n month, from August
mitil September 127, and one part was
entirely destroyed. The irionumeiits
ns well as the church wore struck by
the projectiles, as Is proved by the
archives of the epoch, kept In the de
pository of the department of Mo
zleres. Several large holes had to be
mended in tlie roof of the church
steeple ns "the glass frame of the
round of the steeple which had been
broken during the siege."
Many Times Bombarded.
One' can notice that the bombard
ments of this epoch, even compared to
those that the history of after times
was to note, were not as certain
people might believe "games of chil
dren." Tlie church of Mezleres was,
however, to undergo more terrible
ones on three different occasions.
Completed with dilllculty in 1(120,
that Is tt say, n hundred and twenty
seven years after tho laying of tho
foundation stone, It was soon to havo
lived the golden age of Its life. To
say nothing or the tire which broke
out in its steeple (1082), neither of the
nets of vandalism of the revolutionists,
let us speak only of the bombardments
which it suffered.
The Prussians shelled It in 1815. An
Inscription on tlie wall reminds tho
render that It was nearly ruined. It
lost Its beautiful stained-glass win
dows of the sixteenth century und tho
exterior pinnacles were seriously dam

In time of history it was the duty

Now York Sun reporter, amounted to

250 Ships Seized During War.
"Tlie president (Lord I'hllllmore)
has stit every day since he was ap

quite another year's work before the
court," said tho marshal. "Including
vessels seized in port upon tlie out
break of war, which numbered over
100, about 250 ships have gone Into
my custody In the United Kingdom.
"Hundreds of thousands of tons of
goods of all descriptions copper,
aluminum, metals, wool, cotton, lard,
oils and fats, coffee, cocoa, dried fruits,
wheat, barley, hides, leather, tobacco,
nitrates, zinc concentrates, diamonds,
penrls, human hair, false teeth and
many other things all nre among the

Alluding to the quantities of bonds
nnd .securities captured, he said the
Interception of these securities proved
a powerful lever In British hands,
causing serious Interruption of Gorman
trade and damage to German credit.

marshal, "happened In the earliest
days of the war, when upon a large
