pardon to Dreyfus In a report pre-
ceding the decree the Marquis de CALI
fet, minister of war, points out that
Dreyfus has already undergone five
years deportation with five years soil
tary confinement, the prisoner would
have to undergo 10 years detention. The
minister also calls attention to the fact
that the health of the prisoner is seri-
ously compromised and that he would
not be able without great danger to un-
dergo prolonged detention. The report
of the war minister concludes thus:
The government will not have met
the wishes Of the country which de-
sires pacifcation if it does not hasten
TO efface all traces of the painful con
fiict. 1t belongs to you, NJ. lie Presi-
dent, by an act Of lofty humanity, to
