ed where the services of a caterer will
be desirable. OF course the organiza-
ton is generally glad to follow the ad-
vice Of a popular member, and the
caterer usually gets the order. When
ever a new club ia organized the
young man, who can come with the
highest recommendations, is generally
the first on the roll. All these expenses
are paid by the caterer, who is salts

MERCER on DREYFUs.
Says the Prisoner Is Guilty as Accused
and VIII He Convicted.

NSSS = sASOiscT kS uUlAGy 30 <ACCOSOW
and Will BE Convicted.
RENNEs, Aug. 2l.-General Mercier,
who was minister Of war when Captain
Dreyfus was condemned and who in the
present trial is the virtual prosecutor,
was called upon yesterday by the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press, who
invited him to make q statement of the
position Of the anti Dreyfusards. Al
though unable to receive the CORE
spondent in person, General MERCER
sent his eldest son to convey the follow
ing expression of his views:
General Mercier considers it useless
to attempt to convert foreign opinion
in regard to the Dreyfus question. For
eign peoples have been misled by their
press, which is violently Dreyfusard,
for the very good reason that q majority
OF the foreign newspapers have been
bribed by the Jewish syndicate. Cen
eral MERCER considers anything he
might say explaining his position, which
is that of a majority of the French peo-
pie, would be useless. The best reply
to Dreyfusard statements abroad will be
the condemnation of Dreyfus. This
condemnation is only q matter of 10
days or q fortnight, for condemned
Dreyfus certainly will be. Foreigners
will then see that their journals have de-
ceived them, for they will recognize that
the mass of the French nation, who will
receive the news of the conviction of
Dreyfus as joyful tidings, is not COM
posed of officials and that the majority
Of the French applaud the condemna-
ton, because it is just and merited."
The Associated Press correspondent
then called upon Maitre Labor, who
lives within BOD yards of General Mer-
cier, the houses of both being guarded
by gendarmes and detectives. M. La
bori was taking the air in the garden.
He has been suffering severely from in
somnia and yesterday was feverish and
excited. The wound itself has not
made the progress the doctors hoped
for, although there has been no relapse.
In view of his general condition, his
medical advisers oppose his going to
court today as he had desired. Tomor-
row or Wednesday, therefore, will more
probably see his temperance in court.
M. Labor is intensely anxious to re-
turn to court. even if he has to be car
ried there in an ambulance. He is dis
satisfied with M. Demange's conduct of
the case thus far and on his return he
intends to have General Mercier and
the other generals back upon the wit
ness stand. After reading their evil
dence he is confident of his ability to
crush Mercier.
