who kicks goal from the field or

The brilliant student remains In OBJ
security. The husky hero Of the grid
iron sees his picture in the papers, and
reads with avidity column after col

the football field. But the student
still has an advantage over the ath-
lete. In his maturer years he is much
more likely to see his portrait among

ter+st II Hnv. the Matter
lesred Up

Paris, Sept S-The report put In
circulation by newspaper agency
that a revision Of the Dreyfus case
had been decided upon appears to be
premature. 1t Is now pointed out that
a revision must be sanctioned BY a
cabinet council under the presidency
of NJ. Faure. No such council has
been had as yet but N. Cavaignac,
the minister OF war, conferred at great
length yesterday with NJ. Sarrien,
the minister Of justice, and N.
Rrisson, president OF the council
and minister OF the interior The
presumption Is that, these conferences
had to do with the proposal Of revi-
sion; but the results have not been
made public. II was announced yes
terday afternoon by the Patria that
several officers Of the general stan
have decided to resign shortly and di.
vulre all they know OF the entire
Dreyfus case. One officer declares that
war will inevitably follow soon, as q
result Of the investigation which will
be made regarding the Vaccinations
Of another government
The most pessimistic feelings exist
1t Is the common belief that Great
Britain and Russia are on the eve OF
war and that the consequences OF the
Dreyfus scandal will involve France
in war with Germany. The govern
ment is doing its best to stem the ris-
ing tide Of agitation by studied quiz
essence which scandalizes the Journal
des Debats and other papers; but II
may succeed in getting over the crisis
NJ Faure ignores the reproaches OF
the press and remains ut Havre.
Several officers Of the highest dis.
tinction, IL is alleged, threaten to re.
sign their commissions and 70 publish
