minence of war between Germany and
France excites only ridicule here. The
semiofficial newspapers declare that
there was never any idea of war, and
that, even had Count Won Munster, the
German ambassador in Paris, been re-
called, charge d'affaires would have
been left to carry on the embassy busi-
ness.

KISSES FOR MERCIER.
Audience Expresses Its DisapprOvnl
of His Evidence.

Rennes, Aug. 14.-The red and white
facade of the Lycee was bathed in sun
shine at $40 o'clock Saturday morning
when Capt. Dreyfus crossed the Avenue
de la Care and entered the building for
the second public session of his trial by
court-martial The same stringent po-
lice precautions were taken, but bare
ly 90 persons had gathered to witness
his crossing.
One of the most interesting features
of the session was the testimony of
former President Casimir-Perier re-
garding the diplomatic correspondence
in which Emperor William required of
the French government that the Ger
man embassy in Paris be acquitted of
having sustained relations with Drey-
fus.
Gen. Mercier was on the stand for
four hours. His evidence was a repeti-
tion of the old charges and accusa-
tions against Dreyfus. He repeated
again his war-scare story to the effect
that the Dreyfus affair had brought
Germany and France to the brink of
conflict.
Kisses for Mercier.
At the end of his evidence Gen. Mer-
cier said he believed that the only mo-
tive of Dreyfus' treason was that Drey-
fus had no feeling of patriotism. This
cruel utterance brought forth Kisses
from the audience, whose blood had
been sent up TO fever heat by the wit
ness savage attacks on Dreyfus.
IN
terminated with remarking: "If the
least doubt crossed my mind, gentle
men, L would be the first to declare it to
you, and say before you, TO Capt. Drey-
fus, / am mistaken, but in good faith"
Then Dreyfus electrified his hearers.
He jumped to his feet, as though the
words had galvanized him into new life,
and shouted with a voice which rang
throughout the hall like a trumpet
note: THAT is what you ought to say"
The audience burst into a wild cheer,
whereupon the ushers called for silence.
Gen. Mercier then stammered
81 would come and say: Capt. Drey-
fus, was mistaken in good faith, and l
come with the same good faith to admit
it, and / will do all in human power to
repair the frightful error
The prisoner then shouted "Why
don't you, then. That is your duty"
At this there was another outburst
ofapplause. Gen. Mercier, after pause,
when the excitement had partially
calmed, said: swell, no. My convic-
ton since 1894 has not suffered the
slightest weakening. IL is fortified by
the deepest study of the dossier and also
by the inanity of the means resorted
TO for the purpose of proving the inno-
cence of the condemned man of 1894, in
spite of the evidence accumulated and
