\u201cYesterday was a day of ceaseless fighting, in which little actual progress could be made.The enemy offered a most determined resistance and brought up fresh troops, but although he delayed us for a day, my conviction is unaltered that the Germans have no intention of standing this side of the Vesle.\u201cPrisoners report severe losses.Two stretcher bearers say their company went into action with reduced numbers, and that this morning the commanding lieutenant told them that only thirty men were left, while during this morning\u2019s fighting all the .emaining thirty were killed.Almost all their casualties, the prisoners say, were from rifle and machine gun fire.\u201cThe enemy is still retreating, but it is very plain that we have slow work before us.\u201d Death

friends.It was only two years ago that the late Captain Passow was perforce made to give up his career as a commander of a sea-going vessel.He was very anxious to eon inue his cs.cer but his health broke down and he was not able to pass the medical examinations.Consequently he retired from service after serving forty-seven years on the seas, and took up his residence at Lennoxville, where he was well known and highly inspected.The deceased, who was 67 years of age when overtaken by death, had a very historic career, be in a very serious condition at the (for, in addition to crossing the At-St.Vincent de Paul Hospital this morning.The condition of the unfortunate man is worse today, according to the medical report, although-hopes are still entertained for his recovery.WAT NEW DRAFT

awakened at five o\u2019clock on the morning of the day of his execution by a patrol of noncommissioned officer and six men.He was told to dress and was then taken to a room where the decision ! of the Soviet Council was communicated to him.He was informed the execution would be carried out in two hours.The former emperor, it is added, received the announcement of the sentence of death with great calmness.He returned to his bedroom and collapsed in a chair.After a few minutes he asked for a priest with whom he was allowed to remain unattended.Subsequently he wrote several I letters.When the escort arrived to take him to the place of execution Nicholas attempted to rise from his chair, but was not able.The priest and a soldier were obliged to help him to get to his feet.The condemned man descended the stairs with difficulty, and once he fell down.As he was unable to stand without support when the place of execution was reached he was propped against a post.He raised his hands and
