have decided to prosecute M. Zola, al
though they are not blind to the fact
That the prosecution is desired in order
to prolong the agitation. 1t is to be
hoped the chamber will have confidence
in the energy and wisdom Of the gov
ernment."
Count De Nun said the government
owed 1t to the army that it be assured
Of It's confidence, as it was impossible
to allow the accumulation Of insults
and attacks.
General Billot said this was the fourth
time he had been called upon to defend
n matter upon which Judgment had al
ready been passed. The army, he ad-
ded, treated the attacks with contempt,
but 1t was painful to see 1t attacked
from abroad. The army was COM
posedly pursuing its mission, and in the
day of need would know how to do its
luty.
M. Jaures, the Socialist leader, con-
demned the court martial proceedings
behind closed doors, which, he asserted,
"left the mind of the nation cropping
in obscurity." He also asked the house
4: not to repudiate the subordination Of
the military to the civil power.
To this General Billot replied: "The
army obeys its chief, and as the faith
ful guardian of republican institutions
pursues it's sacred mission"
M. Cavaignac, Republican, asked the
government to communicate to the
house the secret document which had
determined the condemnation of Drey-
fus, which caused murmuring.

sss ARTIFICIAL FOOD.
Princeton Professor Says the Ques-
tion VIII Soon BE Solved,

Princeton. N. j.. JAN 14.-Professor
George MacCloskie, professor of biology
at Princeton university. an extensive
writer on scientific subjects, when ques-
toned as to his opinion regarding Pro-
fessor Schenck's discoveries concerning
the possibility Of sex selection. said that
he had been expecting something of the
kind for some time. He said:
Modern science has been confronted
with two very serious problems-name-
ly, the increase of population and the
decrease in the supply Of food. The
latter problem will have to be met, and
will. indeed, in the near future be so
met by the production Of food by arti-
fetal means. There is no way, then,
to decrease the population except by
the generation of larger number of
human males than of females. That is
what Professor Schenck's scheme, if
successful, will in all probability bring
about. This thing has already been
accomplished in the plant world, and in
some forms of animal life."

asked to be allowed to question the
government on the subject of Emil
Eola's open letter to President Faure.

The minister of finance, M. Cochery,
replied that the absence of General
Billot compelled him to postpone dis
cussion Of the matter. This caused an
Oproar, and Count De Nun declared
that he had advised General Billot and
the premier, M. Meline, of his intention
TO raise the debate, for" he said, "the
