matters in order TO show that a press

The minister Of war M. DeFreycinet,
| repudiated NJ. Groussets allegation. He
| said that if there had been some lndis-
cretions, it was unjust and imprudent to
attack the whole army, unjust because
the army was excellent, devoted to its
duty and incapable of the acts charged

The minister Of war concluded with Wig
orously protesting against the accusation
