tional defense to, a mortal enemy Of
Let the Rerfi,es court-martial decide what
II may, all our generals know that this man
is red-handed traitor.
If seven reputable American ministers of
war mad declared they knew an officer to
| be guilty of treason, the American public
| would accept1theip statement. Your great
hberty-loving newspapers of America kick
ed Aiger out Of office, though commission
declared mimi bianelesS, and the evidence
| against him was far from being as con-
elusive as that against Dreyfus.
! The scoundFel Dreyfus) should have been

was exiledl to New Caledonia for merely
| writing my opinion in favor of human lib
! erty, and only similar punishment was
meted out to man who sold the nations

| brethren sell old pantaloons.
I HAD ne been shot in 1894 we should have

German emperor uniting with Deicasse of
maiodorous Fashoda fame, in intriguing

| kinsman, Judas Iscariot.
Members of Court Mere Puppets.
LOOK at the personnel of the court-martial
upon whose decision depends the destiny of
| the most enlightened nation of the world!
1t is composed of seven obscure officers,
| who, even if honest, are incompetent. Not
one OF them is known outside his regiment.
! Its president, Colonel JouauSt, is a weak
| creature. If necessary, War Minister Gal
lifet will browbeat, bribe and beguile these
! seven little pawns.
| 1t Will be marvellous If these pigmies can
| mold out against the intrigues of the Ger
| man emperor, Americas arch enemy as
! Well as ours, the threats of the murderous
Gallifet and the aliurements of the Jewish
money bags.
The local racial political barometer at
Rennes today indicates that our bandit
government has pledged itself to the Jews
| ana the German emperor to free the trail
| tor.
The Jewish syndicate is represented there
| IN all the might of it's moneybags to pur-
| chase liberty for him who sold the secret
| OF our shrapnel shell and the inner knowI-
| edge OF our military mobilization.
Majority Believes Dreyfus Guilty.
| In spite of the vigorous agitation in favor
I of Dreyfus, carried on by a subsidized press;
IN spite of the influence of the enormous
| amount of money contributed by the Roth
| schilds of the world and collected in the
synagogues of all nations, a vast majority
OF the French people believe this man
guilty, having been condemned.
| The burden of proof is upon those who as
| sert MS innocence. And what have they to
| snow! Merely the biunders of some yahoos
| who Joined with honest men in trying to
give the traitor his deserts.
The fact of having detected fools endeav-
| orlns to prop up the truth with lies does
| not make the truth less true. l still have
hopes that the secret dossier, which is to
De examined tomorrow and Wednesday, will
be permitted to throw sufficient light on
| the question to demonstrate that this man
| trafhcked with our national defense.
When General MERCER opens fire on
| thursday he may shatter the ranks of the
Dreyfusards, even at the risk of mourning
| 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 for a woman's heart.
The replies of Dreyfus today-his 81 don't
know Il cannot remember Il forget
his hangdog nieE-I are not those of an in
! nocent. This Wreteh-this Jew-has broken
careers, blasted regulations, disgraced our
generals, smashed our soldiers and brought
murder in his train,
Have not the Rpthschlds been working
tooth and nail for the rehabilitation of their
fellow Israelite? We do not oppose Jews
as such. We oppose them only when they
become parasites, such as they are in Rus
| Sia- -,
Jews Well Treated in France.
No one can accuse me of being a Jesuit
rather than Jew; but l have hearty con-
tempt for cosmopolites and people without
country. And one of the reasons why l
admire Americans so much is because they
are all so intensely patriotic that the excep-
| tional Aston is looked upon as leper.
Men say to- me there is absence of
motive in the theory of Dreyfus' guilt. In
answer-and no one knaWs this better than
Max Nordau. his .defender-I say degenerate
natures need, no special incentive to their
peculiar crime.
Socialists rally around this man not be-
cause of a larger brotherhood, but because
they think he asserts good opportunity of
killing militarism.
Where would France be today, with the
triple alliance ever on the watch, if it were
not for her army?-
The French hireings of German Jews
want to ruin our army and SO give comfort
to the Interest enemy of republics William
II. They may say the fight is not against
the army. 1 reply that the literature of the
Dreyfusards is the best answer.
Where will all this end?
If Dreyfus is again condemned, in spite of
| a cabinet pledge to liberate him, the mat
| ter must end right there. If he is acquitted
We are not prepared to bend the knee to
| the German emperor or to declare that the
| members of the first court-martial were
| fools or knaves.
Views of Some Others.
Some others who have given written opin-
| ions regarding the celebrated case are M.
| Drumont the editor of Libre Parole who
| is a rabid anti-Dreyfusard; Emile lola, who
| has become famous in the defense of the
condemned captain, ana Maitre LABOR, VINO
| is one of the counsel for the defense in the
present trial.
NJ. Drumont says:
Dreyfus' attitude and system of defense
betray the traitor
! His defense consists in denials; many
| honorable witnesses will prove what he de-
MES.
The witnesses summoned by the president
| of the court-martal will all testify against
| DreyfVs.
When MERCER speaks he will make ac-
! quittal impossible. He will tell what took
place at the German embassy. His deposit
| ton will force Casinir-Perer to explain.
Gen. MERCER will show that the borde-
reau was not the determining document in
| the first court-martiai
Because Dreyfus is a Jew the money
lenders of his race make frantic efforts to
rehabilitate him.
We oppose these people, not because of
race or religion, but because they are
Insurers. They abuse situation; they never
become Frenchmen or Englishmen or Amer
icans-they remain Jews always
Following is what M. lola has to say:
Nothing can now prevent the acquittal of
Capt. Dreyfus.
