THE BRAGGART

Reading edition

“It was I who opened fire on Rheims Cathedral”

My dear Sir, how is it possible to fight these people? They seem to have no mercy, no decency. It really seems impossible to know how to meet them.

General Castelnau to Mr. Whitney Warren.

The bells sound no more in the cathedral with two towers. Finished is the benediction!... With lead, O Rheims, we have shut your house of idolatry!

M. Rudolf Herzog in Berlin Lokal-Anzeiger. Jan., 1915.
