GERMANY'S PROBABLE ACTION.

Berlin. Sept. 12.-The German Commissioner
for the Paris Exposition, accompanied by three
assistants has gone 10 Paris to complete ar
rangements for the German exhibitors. This is
generally interpreted as indicating that Ger
many has no intention. a nation, Of refranng
from participation therein. Many Of the news
papers are pointing out that the exhibition is
not connected with politics. and they counsel
moderation until the action Of other nations is
determined. Germany's action, it is said, VIII
be governed largely by that Of Great Britain
the United States and Austria.
The "Neueste Nachrichten" says IT Is eX-
trenlely improbable that Germany will further
interest herself in the Dreyfus case by allow
ing documents proving his innocence and Ester
hays guilt to be published. The paper adds
however that there are reasons 10 believe that
should the French Government officially apply
for these papers the documents would be pro-
duced without any hesitation.
