PARIS, 17th July.
It is estimated that unless further funds are received, it will take fifty years to restore Reims Cathedral. It will cost 112 million francs to repair the damage. Two million francs have been expended yearly since the Armistice, but the work has been confined to clearing away the wreckage to make way for new construction. It is expected 'that tire great nave -will be restored, in two years. Work will then be commenced upon the tower.
