It Is a fact known to everyone that the Ger- ; mans, after having desperately begged toy. the armistice, shelled the town of Mesleres, eyen up to the exact moment of the beginning of the 'armistice, cowardly and without any military reason whatever. They aimed especially at the monuments, which were well known to them, as they had occupied the dty tor four years. . Among the latter the church la especially to be mentioned. It Is a fine Gothic flamboyant structure with five naves, the largest and perhaps the moat beautiful of the country. This church has bad, among other princely visitors, the honor of celebrating the marriage ceremony of Charles DC sad Elisabeth of Austria (1970); Wo make bold to assert that It was the last of the churches shelled. A fact leis known, although not leu Interest ng, la that It waa also the first of the churches to bo shelled. Begun In 1469, It wu 22 years old when In 1921 the imperials besieged Mesleres, defended by Bayard, the knight without fear or reproach. Historians relate that shells were employed for the first time during this siege. The enemy shelled the town for exactly a month, from August 81 until September 27, and one part wu entirely destroyed. The monuments as well as the church were struck by the projectiles, as Is proved by the archives of the qpoch, .kept In the depository of the department of Mesleres. Several large holes had to bo mended In the roof of . the church the glass frame of the steeple round of the steeple which had been broken during the siege. Many Timas Bombarded.
