GERMANY INDIGNANT.
Pronounces tho Dreyfus Verdict n Viola
tion of tho Laws of Justice -Separ-
ates France From the World.

Berlin, Sept 10-The Dreyfus verdict
causes a feeling almost of stupefacton in
Berlin. 1t had been hoped that the state
ment of the Reichsanzeiger, as emanating
directly from Emperor William would
have rendered impossible the reaction of
what is described as "one of the greatest
judicial and political crimes of any age
1t is universally agreed that the second
verdict is a grave political blunder vio-
lation of the laws of civilization and an
act of moral cowardice which the world
will find it difficult to pardon.
The German press unanimously describes
tho verdict as cowardly and impolitic,
not TO say criminal.
The Cologne Gazette says:-"1t Is a
cowardly verdict, in the barbarous spirit
of the middle ages. BY this crime the
Judges have imposed a line of demarka
ton between France and the rest of the
world which although 1t will not prevent
diplomatic intercourse or stay the com
mon exchange of products will according
to all the notions of right. justice, honor
tolerance and ethics which the civilized
world bears with it in the twentieth cen
tury form a barrier only to be removed by
time and laborious effort"
The other leading journals comment
upon the verdict in similar strains.
