IN BOMBARDED ARRAS.
FRENCH GIRL'S DIARY OF EVENTS.
LIFE IN A CELLAR.
The story of the German bombardment of Arras, as soon from the inside is movingly told in a diary kept by Mlle. Suzanne Le Centily a young lady of 18 years, daughter of a solicitor of that town. Of the family-parents and nice children-eight of the children are now refugees in England,
Mile. Surauno, says the Times, is a practical, clear-headed young woman, and the journal of her experiences begins at the beginning of the war. At that time the family were at Wimereux, but on August 24th they returned to Arras. The early portions of the diary record the first occupation of the town by the Germans. It is with the return of the Germans that the story becomes mest poignant. Thus we read:-
October 6th-The Germans commence to bombard Arras. The shells fly over our roof, We set the fowls and rabbite at liberty, with some food, and instal ourselves, in the cellar. What a bombardment! What noise! 2 o'clock. The stables of M Cabuil and the house of M. Prévost catch fire. We look out to see if we must fly Papa returns from the St. Sacrement. When the bombardment com- menced he was with Dr. Carpentier at the Hôtel de Ville. 5 o'clook. The shells recommence, We hear the pealing of the cannon. 6.30. The house of Franque ville is Burning; the sparks come over us. Another fire near the Hôtel de Ville. More water! The Hôtel de Ville is silent, and is said to be burning
8 o'clock. -- Installation" of mattresses for the night Papa and Simone, André, Renée, an Albert on mattresses in the wing-cellar.; Ivy nad Emma, Robert, Joseph, Bernard in the beer-collar; Mama, M, and myself on two mattresses in the coal-cellar; and Marie in a blanket on the ground. Further bombardment; taking advantage of the calm, the Arrageois como out and chat. During the night Mama goos to get some. provisions from the storeroom.
No
October 7th-About 3 m. we hear the distant sound of cannon... At 7 o'clock the bombardment recommences, but less violent than yesterday. But soon there appear two German aeroplanes, which throw bombs on Arras... 2.50 p.m.-Groute joie! M Ducroo tells us that the noise we have heard is that of the French guns. General Pau has arrived; he has been expected for two days, and he is repulsing the Germans. We come out of the cellar, delighted. Paps makes a tour; the Hôtel de Ville destroyed, suve the tower
all the quartier near to the Hôtel de Ville is destroyed up to Planque's, the pastrycook's

Papa goes as far as Segaud's. Peopl come out, they open the little shops. There is no further danger Then all at once & bomb bursts over Papa, who has only just time to run into Segaud's. He is hurrrying back, when another burst in the Place du Théâtre. Happily he is not hurt, and comes in just as we are making haste down to the cellor.
4.36 p.m.-A great report, a red glow, and hot wo can feel in the cellar;
bomb has fallen in the little yard, breaking the telegraph wires, the kitchen-windowsy, the verandah, and some hottles. Happily there is no fire. But the fire at M. Acrement's is gaining hold, so we hesitate whether to leave. We go to sleep chez M. Wartelle, who has the kindness to lodge us all. 86 we leave, toute la bande, and forget to have our supper. We instal ourselves at M. Wartelle's, along with a number of other. refugees.
