a revision of the trial would bring up
the question of the responsibility OF

THE BRINK Of A CRISIS.
That Is Where the Dreyfus Case,
Because of Rank Injustice,
Has Brought France.
ABSOLUTE NECESSITY FOR REVISION.
White This Pact IL Recognized by the Ma
Jority of tn. Cabinet President f"ura
and the Minority Oppos. IL. and Therein
Lie. the Danger that Threatens the Re-
public.

New York. Sept l6.-A dispatch %
the World from Paris says: France
j. on the brink OF the gravest crisis
since the birth OF the third republic
The situation is briefly this;
Premier Brisson and all the other
members of the cabinet, with h eN-
ception Of ~Iurlinocn. minister OF war.
ard possibly Loekroy. are convinced
OF tie absolute necessity OF revision IN
the Dreyfus case. in the interest alike
of Justice and Of the state. Gen
Hrugere has sigmhed his Willingness
10 take the portfolio of war and ac-
ccpt the revision.
Decision VIII he Reached saturday.
At saturdays neeting of the cabi-
net a decision will he taken. and IT IS
certain hat revision Will be decreed.
President Faure has been a deter
mined pponent OF revision. and has
caused II 10 be rumored that he VIII
resign if il is granted. No one believes
that he will resign. but everyone sees
tia. the threat 10 do SO is "A desperate
eNpedient To get rid AT one blow OF
PRISONS cabinet. and, il is fondly
hoped. of revision also.
President Faure's Unconstitutional Action.
But Faurc's unconstitutional action
in directly interfering with response
biliiv in the cabinet affords an eN-
ample Of the .a~wlcssness in high
places. which is the first step toward
revolution. lie is accused of aiming
at a dictatorship. and if he succeeds
IN destroying the Brisson cabinet II
will be the act of a dictator.
The Only Way Agitation Can be suppressed
The Dreyfus agitation can now be
suppressed only by the exercise of ar
bitrary power. President Faure has
made himself the champion of the
army and its tainted chiefs. who will
do ANYTHING TO avoid the exposure
that revision would entail. and they
are ready TO place that arbitrary pow
or in his hands. \ military coup
d'etat is. therefore. freely conjectured
