respected French publlcists. He is tne
editor OF the Temps. the leading paper
who was removed from the Legion OF
Honor for his fearless advocacy OF the
Dreyfus case. He writes:

tiop nrainst the government on account
of the humiliation 1t subjected him TO ten
months AFRO. when, at It's instance, during
The Panama business he was brought Pc

probably. also, Beaurapaire viii derive
from the EsAsp de aPris better pay than
he received from the court OF cassation.
Another reason given by irlenas an nAs
ious to excuse him Is that he is sunerlhe
from incipicnt intellectual arrangement.
aThere is u plot atoot. not military
plot. but simply to discredit the court or
cassation. They wish to prevent ,uds-
ment Of acquittal, which would be con-
domination Of the war office. ~.

"I'rancis De Presence"
Lucien Millevoye is the most energetic
of the extreme anti-Dreyfus agitators. he
writes to the World;
'Beaurapalre, thorough patriot, re-
signed because he was indignant at seeing
certain magistrates of the court of cas-
satiou making themselves instruments of
an international and anti-national cam
paign His declarations have already
produced result by holding in suspense
the decision of the criminal chamber.
The resignation has profoundly moved
public opinion. The Partially of the
court Is evident. and Judgment rem
dered under such conditions will not BIO
ratified by public conscience.
III the criminal chamber RENTS the
case to new court martial, France will
wait that solution. but IL 1T should dare
to annul without remitting the agitation
will assume grave proportions among the
people and in the army.
France is q military democracy pas
sionately attached To its principles of
liberty, but firmly resolved to defend her
Importance and her honor.
Every citizen is today soldier and
the immense majority of them preserve
respect for the flag.
If foreigner imagines he will be ablo
TO make profit out of this agitation. he
deserves himself. The French soul is
awake"
