One of them declared the number OF

The Germans explained that their

in advance to provide that all their

guns. should advance in a compact
mass as if it were a single battery.
The orders were to fire without stop

German Great Headquarters, via
Berlin, Tuesday, Aug. s, and London.
Aug. 9, 1920 p. m.-Since yesterday the
famous old French city of Peronne
has been under French artillery fire,
resulting in a great conflagration
which threatens to wipe it out. AL
ready the fine collection of paintings
of italian and Flemish masters has
been destroyed by shells which landed
squarely in the city hall, where the
most valuable art objects from the
museum had been housed for protec-
ton. In addition to the paintings,
which were torn to shreds, the shells
destroyed unreplaceable collections of
medieval Germanic silver and semi
precious stone work, Celtic coins
dating from the time of the Roman
invasion and medallions.
Houses in some streets have been
reduced to ashes. 1t is considered
doubtful whether Peronne's celebrated
wood houses in the late Gothic style
and the CATHEDRAL of ST. John can be
saved from the flames.
