THE REICHSTAG BURNS AGAIN.—The great dome of the old Reichstag building in Berlin has Withstood all attempts at its destruction. The cupola framework remained intact when the Nazis set fire to the Reichstag in 1933, and British bombs and Russian shells failed to demolish it during the war. This photograph was taken on October 16 after engineers had unsuccessfully tried to demolish the dome with 15 steel-cutting torches. A further attempt is to be made.
