bishop issued a pastoral announcing that
no open air procession in honor of the
virgin must take place al the festival of
the assumption. He has ordered the
, clergy. in the interest OF peace TO con-
fine the procession TO the cathedral and
I other churches. The general conclusion
deduced from the Episcopal pastoral has
been that the Dreyfusards who are either

He and they reminded me of a devil
advocate, but devils advocate in good
earnest. Roget was dead set against
the unfortunate Dreyfus. who must have
been tortured while the general went on
with statements. deductions, innuendo
and suggestions that were all jam to all
the officers present.
If Roget was not speaking in good
faith, his statement was UNANIMOUSLY
wicked. But he made a point. Major
Hartmann, who testified before the court

the bordereau, said it had been tested in

In 1894. This Roget denied, and the presi-
dent of the court-martial, who is an ar
tillery officer. seemed to endorse him. s
According to Roget, the gun had been ,
tested in 1894 only. and spoken of in only !
one journal. the Yacht. the editor Of
