The Paris Commune. Wednesday, May 17. The districts of Auteuil and Passy have become uninhabitable due to the continuous fall of large-caliber shells hitting them, fired from Montretout and Mont-Valérien. The Versaillais army has positioned itself at the southwestern gates of Paris and the artillery fire is getting closer and closer. The offensive by the Versailles army is awaited, but nevertheless, social measures continue to be taken. Regarding the receipt of pensions, the Commune has decreed the equality of legitimate and natural children, and of wives and common-law partners. Today, the Central Committee of the Women's Union has invited all working women to meet this evening in order to appoint delegates from each corporation to form the trade chambers of working women.
