Unlike Rheims and other centres of mediaeval Christianity, the very home of our religion has escaped destruction. Whether the refusal of the Turks to hold this place was due to military weakness or to respect for the city, the British have gained with facility what has long been fought for.

France has given war crosses to those who withstood the first German raid, but the recipients, although appreciating the honor, are warned not to wear them.
