Description Given in Bulletin Just
Issued by the National Geo.

Peronne. the f1rst important objective
of the French and English forces when
the allies big push was inaugurated,
is described in a war geography bull
letin of the National Geographic Soci-
ETY. as follows:
The important railway center of
Peronne, rich with historic associations
of ancient and medieval France, was a
town of less than 5000 people at the
outbreak of the war, and it>had little
industrial or commercial significance,
but for nearly 800 years 1t bore an hon
ored nom de guerre, La Pucelle (the
impregnable). this distinction having
been accorded it in 1886, when the
courageous woman, Marie Foure, also
known as Cathrine de Polk. success
fully defended it against the imperial
forces of Charles V, commanded by the
Count of Nassau. The title impreg-
nable' was dropped by the city in 1915.
however, for in that year it was cap
tured by the Duke Of Wellington. Its
name stands high among the cities of
courage in the Franco-German war,
during which it withstood destru ctive
bombardment of twelve days and only
capitulated because the civil population
was being decimated by an epidemic Of
smallpox.

Committees Report.

The report on the Tinkham bill Is as
follows;
The committee on the District of
Columbia to whom was referred the
bill Oh. r. 1850. to provide for the
payment of assessments for benefits
for the opening of streets avenues
roads and alleys in the District of Co
lumbia. and for other purposes having
had the same under consideration, re-
port back to the House unanimously
ana without amendment and recon-
mend that the bill do pass.
The object of the bill Is to change
existing law in reference to the open
ing and extension of streets, avenues,
roads and alleys in the District of Co
iump1a, so as to defer the payment of
assessments for benefits until the high
ways are actually opened for travel.
Provisions of Present Law.
Under the law as it now exists as
sessments for benefits are due and pay
able within sixty days after the verdict
of the jury finding damages for the
land taken and assessing benefits, is
ratified and confirmed by the court.
These assessments then become a lien
upon the property assessed and are
payable in five equal annual INSTALL
ments. Under the proposed bill, while
the assessments will become a lien
upon the land assessed. the assessments
Will not become due and payable until
the highway is actually opened for
travel, and then are payable in three
within a period of two
years from service of the notice
Under existing law streets and alleys
have ben opened and extended and as
sessments levied and a part, and in
some cases the whole, of the assess
ments paid before there was any physi-
cal change in condition. In other
words. the grading and Improvement
of the highway does not follow
promptly upon the condemnation of the
land. AS the assessment for benefits is
predicated upon the theory that a high
way is actually and physically provided
by the condemnation proceedings and
the benefits are assessed upon such the

the assessments for such benefits
should await the actual physical open

Oil At Fire Cause
Police to Inquire

Investigation by the police OF the
fire Of incendiary nature at $50 Still
man street, yesterday morning, has
unearthed the fact that the mat
tresses, clothing and carpets in the
three upper rooms of the house had
been saturated with kerosene before
they became ignfted. and IL bottles
Of the oil were found in the apart
ments.
The house was unoccupied at the
time and a family had intended rent
ing the dwelling, sending part Of their
household goods to the address. Mrs.
A. E. Spencer, owner of the property
who resides in the Bronx, New York,
and who is related to William d.
Evarts, of 434 Berkshire avenue, was
Intercepted by the police today con-
corning the cause of the fire.
She said she had bought the oil and
placed it in the bottles because Of the
fact that no other contafner In her
possession would hold a gallon Of the
liquid, and left the bottles in the
house. She claims that she boarded a
train for New York at 1880 Saturday
night fact which is vouched for by
Mr. Evarts and his wife who accom-
panied her to the station. The fire
broke out after midnight yesterday
morning and caused a damage of
about $500. The building is insured
for $4,000.
