LcnOir, Frenclman, Condemned to Die
Yesterday to be Confronted with
Caillaux. Cases nre Connected.
Paris, Sept. 9.-Announcencnt was
made at S:d5 o'clock this morning of
the postp0ncmcnt of the execution Of
Pierre I.enoir, who was tried with
Senator Humber and others on
charge Of communicating military in
telligcnce to the enemy, and who was
to have faced the firing squad at dawn
today.
The neighborhood Of Vinconnes
woods, where the execution was to
have taken place, was put under
strong guard Of soldiers at $3.50 o'clock
this morning. A short time after
wards, Major Gromicr, commander OF
the troops at TT. Vincennes, and NJ.
Raux, prefcct Of police, arrived and
firing squad took up It's position.
AT 10 o'clock two automobiles left
the fort and drove rapidly in the di-
rection Of the execution grounds and
men and women going to work, see
ing the soldiers, remarked: at is all
over for Lenoir." but at AS o'clock it
was learned that the execution was de-
layed for a short time.
The military justice, a party Of law
yers and chaplain went to Lenoirs
cell at G:30 o'clock finding the con-
demned man very calm

Asked if he had any communication

what have always vainly askcd-to
be confronted with Joseph Caillaux.
GOsc Caillauz, former premier of
France, now is under arrest under
similar charges to those upon which
Lcnoir was convictedD.
Lenor then argued that the action

that his request to be confronted with
NJ. CaillauX be communicated to the
under-secretary Of military Justice.
This was done and the order to post

hours later.
When he heard that he was not to

D'ANNUNZIO HOLDS

Italian POct-AylatOr StiN in Control
OF City. The Food SituatiOn Scrious.

Ivy NV = pVu IOcIlOuSs
Rome, Sept. 1.-THE time limit
tXcd by General lladoglio, deputy chief
Oh stan for the Italian troops that left
their posts in the armstice zone
around Fiumc and entered the city
with Captin Gabrielle d'Annunzio to re-
turn TO their commands expired last
htSht. Latest advices from the scene
or Captain dAnnunzio's coup showed
his forces were still in control Of the
city. The food situation there is said
TO be serious.
There have been no advices as to
the blockade Of the place by Italian
naval and military forces but there are
reports that Jugo Slav troops are con-
centrating on the frontier between
Fiumc and the Hinterland. There are
indications that people not essential
to the defense of the place may be
compelled to leave so that the armed
forces may be able to hold out longer.
According to the Messagero, an
agreement has been reached between
Premiers Lloyd George, OF Great Brit
ain, and Clemenceau of France, and
Foreign Minister Tittooni, which will
censure the Italian nationally of the
town. but the assent Of President Will
son to the plan is yet to be gained.
The nterallod forces which left
Fiumc after the arrival of Captain
dAnnunzios troops are reported to be
at Abbazia, about two miles northwest
Of the city, where they are awaiting
instructions.
The adoption Of firm policy by
General Badoglio in dealing with the
Fiume situation was endorsed by
King Victor Emmanuel before the gem
eral left Rome on his mission to re-
store order in the Fiume region. The
king, however, in receiving the general
on the eve Of his departure, while rec
ommending firmness on the generals
part. expressed the wish that there
be no blcotlshed
Rome, Tuesday, Sept. 16.-General
Anfossi, addressing his grenadiers ac-
cording to reports from Fiume, said
they were free to remain in Fiume or
return to Italy. A few followed the
general; the remaindr declared they
you'd not leave the city until the ltal-
ian government accepted it's annexa-
tion
General Iotti made similar attempt
with the storm troops with the same
result.
