PARIS, oct. lS-History has Just re-
peated itself at Peronno for the fifth

town by Emperor Williams forces 1t Is a

OF the Disc, with no more apparent pre-
tension than that of attending 60 Its own

wonder that 1t has cut such n figure in
history that It has succumbed to nearly
every attack.
There can scarcely be any other rea-
son than that its situation makes II
sort of stumbling block In the way of
forces bound for Amiens from the north.
King Charles the Simple first gave
Peronne right to immortality by dying
of hunger while a prisoner there in 929.

captures by taking It in 1865 and added to

The Duke of wellington captured 1t in

From this committee the governor de-

The following morning. declaring that
the acquisitions were not being filled
with the necessary promptitude, the gov
ernor inflicted further punishment on
the town in the form OF a permission
to the troops of two hours pillage Of
houses whose inhabitants were out. They
were told to commence with the sub
prefecture to punish the subprefect for
having gone away with all the ready
money. Everything movable was taken
even to the bedding, carted to the sta
tion and taken away by train the same
| evening.
After the furniture had been removed
the soldiers descended to the cellars and
then started an orgie that ended in the
burning OF q dozen of the more import
ant buildings in the center OF the town.
The citizens committee protested

convinced the governor that 1t was not

During nine days bombardment, eighty
two OF its 100 houses we're demolished
and 900 were rendered uninhabitable. In
this case the German commander con-
scented not to levy a war fine on the
town and dispensed the inhabitants from
all acquisitions, which was all the same
to them. since there was nothing left
in the place worth having.
This time, as has been the case with
most of the military operations, no one
but the general staff and the inhabit-
ants of the region knew that the town
had been taken until its reoccupation by
French troops was announced.
The circumstances OF the entry of the
Germans are characteristic Of the pres
ent campaign. After an unequal strug-
gle between a small detachment OF Al
pine chasseurs and infantry on the French
side and strong contingent Of cavalry,
the Germans entered the town August
q. lust as the subprefect left at the other
side in an automobile, carrying off the
receipts of the postoffice and the tax
department. amounting to a million and
half francs gold and several millions In
bonds payable to bearer.
The mayor and his substitute were both
absent. Finding no one at the Hotel de
Vile, Colonel Gotberg. the German gov
ernor, sent for Monsieur Line. city
councillor and informed him that it
would be necessary for him to get to-
gether a commission Of dozen import
ant citizens who should answer with

of the citizens toward the German troops,
and that the commission must present
