Is a serious. honorable-minded' worthy
colleague OF the conscientious Brfssonr
and will be chosen TO investigate the
Dreyfus affair as war minister, because
he Is not biased and is weighted with a
rense of the responsibility involved IN
the matter. Being q Protestant and OF
borrsoss breeding, he does not share the
,rltra-Cathoic, anti-Jewish feeling OF
caste st the war Office. Having been u
pytsoner OF war In Germany in 1870 ana
being an Alsatian, he is warmly pa
,rfoxic and would sympathize with the
military judges Of Dreyfus should ne

free hand. Judge, then, the disappoinl-
ment when news was received mat the
council had adjourned.

unblemished character and In the hablt

work directly the wal minister gives ms
opinion.
Semitic and Dreyfus being a jew, the
government will have TO act with a willy
Green. rather than walk forward. The
late Lieutenant Colonel Henrys confes-
sion brought public opinion around TO
revision, but the hostility 10 Dreyfus
is not abated. The people feel that a
mist OF iniquity is involved in the az
fair and they will attempt TO pene-
trate IL.
They are beginning to understand
that the general staff is no better than
when II rendered the military disasters
Of 1870 inevitable. The resignation or
General Boisdeffre of the general stan
is a standing puzzle. and II arouses
suspicious that only a public trial can

an accomplice OF EsterhaZy? Were
they both able To hold rods in pickle

conducted and Dreyfus relegsted TO the

No more gruesome event has eVel

science, and though II happened within
light of Paris, il is shrouded In mys'
terry. Colonel Henry's is the second sui
