There are no people On earth more pa-
triotic than Americans, hence they win
understand our Indignation against this
unspeakable wretch who sold the secrets
OF our national defense 70 mortal e1e-
my Of France.
LET the Rennes court-martial decide

this man Is redshanded traitor. II

the evidence against him was far form

been shot when the first court-martial
condemned him.
az was exiled 20 New Caledonia for
merely writing my opinions in favor OF
human liberty. and only the same punish
ment was melted out to a man who sold
the nations heart blood as complacently
as his Jewish brethren sell old panta-
looms. Had he been shot In 1884 we
should have been spared the humiliation
Of seeing the German emperor uniting
with Delcasse. Of malodorous Fashoda

Look at the personnel Of the court

destiny Of the most enlightened nation
Of the worldI II is composed Of even OBJ
scure oficers who. sven II honest. are in

beat, bribe and beguile these seven little
pawns. It VIII be marvellous II these pig
mics can hold out against the intrigues
Of the German emperor. Americas arch
enemy as well as ours, the threats Of
the murderous Gallifet and the allure
ments Of the Jewish money-bags. The
local racial political barometer at Rennes
today indicates that our bandit govern
ment has pledged itself TO the Jews and
the German emperor TO free the traitor.
The Jewish indicate is represented there
In all the power Of its moneybags, 10

cret OF our schrapnel shell and the inner
knowledge OF our military mobilization.
''King Panamist 1.-Loubet-Premier
waldeck-Rousseau, whose monument Is
the robberies connected with the Eiffel
tower; Delcasse, aptly named Due de Fa-
shoda, for the indecent haste with which
e.
rand, the renegade. and Gallifst, the as

''In spite OF the vigorous agitation In
favor OF Dreyfus, carried on by Q subsI-
died press; In spite Of the influence OF
the enormous amount Of money contrib
uted by the Rothschilds OF the world and
collected In the synagogues Of all nations,
a vat majority OF the French people be-
lieve this man guilty, having been con-
demned The burden Of proof Is upon
those who assert his innocence. And
what have they to shown Merely the
blunders of some young yahoos who join

traitor his deserts. The fact Of having
detected fools trying to prop up the truth
with lies does not make the truth less

''when General Mercier opens ere on
Thursday he may shatter the ranks OF
the Dreyfusards. even at the risk OF In
curing the enmity of William the Little.
Unless the morale OF the army be lowered
by the attacks OF the Dreyfusards.
France need not stand In deadly fear OF
Germany. Maudlin sentiment Is playing
a part in favor Of Dreyfus. His wife
and children and even the chains IN
Devils Island have nothing to do with
the fact OF his guilt or innocence The
game Is for nations life. not . woman's

1.-THE replies Of Dreyfus todsy-his I
don't know 7 cannot remember for
get-his hangdog mien-are not those Of
an innocent This wretch-this Jew-has
broken careers. blasted regulations, dis
graced our generals. smashed our sol-
dIers and brought murder in his train.
Eyes, there are others guilty. But
these are not our generals. They are the
Clemenceaus. the Jaureses. the Rheln-
achs, the Zoles. who belong to the banks
of the Jordan or beyond the Rhine. and
help trample France IN the dust In order
to save q traitor. Racial. political and
religious considerations have been per-
mltted to enter this question But who
introduced them? Have not the Roths-
chllds been working tooth and nail for
the rehabilitation Of their fellow Israel
lite? We do not oppose Jews a. UGH. We
oppose them only when they become
parasites, such as they are In Russia
The shape OF a mans nose Is of no con-
sequence to US, but when any man or

a cure. There are such in America
Jews are treated better In France than
they are by their friend. william OF
Germany. Here their rabbis are paid by
the state and themselves may enter the
army. Not so In generous Germany. The
posing emperor does not burn with zeal
for either Justice or the Jew. He seeks
to humiliate and weaken France
mo one can accuse me Of being q
Jesuit rather than q Jew But I have
hearty contempt for cosmOpolites and
people without a country. And one OF the
reasons why / admire Americans 50
much is because they are ali 50 intense
