Menace to Liberty.

PARIS. November 29.-The Figaro to-
day publishes an interview with the Pre-
mier, NJ. Dupuy, in the course of which
he is quoted as saying:
For twenty-eight years we have lived
under n contradiction. The army and the
democracy subsist side by side. The
maintenance of the traditions Of the army
is a menace to liberty. yet they assure
the safety Of the country and its most
sacred duties. In spite Of everything, l
am confident that the vitality of the c0un-
try will triumph over the present storm.

request that he would clarity" his
speech made yesterday in the Chamber Of
Deputies in answer 10 the interpretations
as to the Picquart court-martial and the
Dreyfus affair, NJ. Dupuy, the Premier,
said:
"The speech was clear enough. The
powers Of the Court of Cessation are un-
limited, and all necessary documents will
be communicated to the court. The best
way of restoring peace Is to leave mat

The Senate then adjourned.
