The Paris Commune. Thursday, April 20, 1871. In the outskirts of Paris, the fighting is now continuous. In the last few days, the soldiers of Versailles had succeeded in taking Colombes, Bécon, and Asnières, then the counter-offensive of the Commune under the command of Dombrowsky succeeded in regaining the lost positions, except, however, for the castle of Bécon which is very important because it dominates this very area from above. Many Parisian prisoners were taken by the army of Versailles. In Neuilly, the situation is very difficult: the innocent population is sheltered in the cellars, for days and days, because of the continuous cannonade of the two armies.
