structons will not affect the points already
Judged by the Court OF Cessation. nor is he to

A Renncs correspondent who has had access
to Drryfus reports that tho prisoner spends
his entire time examining tho documents in

works over his raprrs until midnight A fell

Dreyfus himself THIS is done under the MILL
tary regulations which allow an officer the
services Of an orderly. 81.

cites much surprise and comment Nobody be-
ieves that it accidentally coincded with the eve
OF the Drevfus trial but what connection it has
with that event is nOt'revealed. Some Dreyfns-
ties suggest that the Government. fearing lest
the military Judges should be inundated by
