There have been no advices as to
(he 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

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 Lloyj George, of Great Brit
ain, and Clemenceau of France, ,and
Foreign Minister Tittooni, which will
censure the Italian nationalty of the

CONDEMNED SPY

Lenoir, Frenchman, Condemnied to Dio
Yesterday to be Confronted with
Callaux. Cases are Connected.
Paris, Sept. 19.-Announcen-eit was
made at 8:.15 o'clock this morning of
the postponement or the execition of
Iierre Lenoir, who was tried with
Senator Hiumber and others on a
charge of commnlient ing military in
telligence to the enemy, and who was
to have faced the firing squad at dawn
today.
The neighborhood of Vincennes
woods, wIhere the execution was to
have taken place, was put under a
strong guard of soldiers at 5:30 o'clock
this morning. A short time after
wards, Major Cromlier, commander 'of
the troops at Ft. Vincennes, and M.
Raux, prefect of police, arrived and a
firing squad took up its position.
At 6:10 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: "it is all
over for Lenoir." but at 6:45 o'clock it
was learned that the execution was de
layed for a short time.
'The military justice, a party of law
yers and a chaplain went to Lenoir's
cell at 6:30 o'clock finding the con
demned man very calm.
"My father taught me not to fear
death," lie said. "and I shall die cour
agously. I love France and never
betrayed my country."
Asked if lie had any communication
to make to the party, Lenoir replied:
"At the moment of death I repeat.
what I have always vainly asked-to
be confronted with Joseph Caillaux.
(Jose falilauz, former premier of
France, now is under arrest under
similar charges to those upon which
Lenoir was convicted).
Lenoir then argued that the action
of the court had shown that his case
and that. of M. Caillaux were connect
ed, Lenoir's lawyer then demanded
that his request to be confronted with
M. Caillaux be communicated to the
under-secretary of military justice.
This was done and the order to post
pone the execution was received two
hours later.
When he heard that lie was not to
be' executed this morning, Lenoir
said: "Before God and man, I swear
I ain no traitor."
