London, Sept. IAN Antwerp dis
patch to the Reuters Telegram Com
pany says: 1T is reported here that
General Pau has won q brilliant vic
tory over 10000 Germans near Pc
i. rome, in the department of Somme."
The report Of victory by General
Pau, at Peronne, II true, is of the ut
most significance. Peronne is twenty
miles west, and slightly north, OF St
Quentin, where the Germans defeated
the English last week. 1t is 118 miles
north by northeast of Paris, thirty
miles east by northeast Of Amiens
and nearly fifty miles south Of Lille.
A defeat Of $4,000 Germans means
that reconnaissance In strength has
been checked and, probably. the en-
tire German front north of Paris set
back few miles, or at least its mo
mentum checked.
1t probably also means that General
Pau has succeeded General Joffre as
commander.in-chief of French forces,
a move that has been expected since
his visit to Paris Sunday.
1t may also mean that the army
from Alsace, which General Pan has
t. commanded, has completed its move
ment into northern France to strength
en- the Anglo-French front there.
