PARIS, July 17. It is estimated that unless further funds are received it will take fifty years to restore Rheims Cathedral. It will cost 112 y 000,U00 francs to repair the damage. Two miUioii 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 the great nav^e will be re. stored in two years, whereupon work will be commenced on the tower.—Aus.S.Z. Cable A»sn.
