their swords against the anarchists who

a lamentable feature Of the affair is
that it wilr be regarded as a pro-Dreyfus
demonstration and react greatly to the
detriment of the chances of acquittal.

strations were due to the weakness the
government has displayed toward the
Dreyfus affair. The governments de-

terpreted by the worse element.
AFFAIR DELIBERATE.
1t appears an anarchist demonstration
was decided upon at a meeting held Sat-
urday night. The Journal du Peuple,
edited by Sebastian Faure, published
manifesto denouncing the military party,
the anti-Semites, the monarchists and
the priests, and urged It's supporters to
meet force with force
Should Dreyfus be convicted" said
the manifesto, sit will be a triumph of
bandits. Should he be acquitted, the
military section will be open to rebel
lion"
The paper called on all anarchists to
demonstrate against the priests and Jes-
uits.
Copies of the manifesto were scattered
broadcast, and the result was that the
anarchists flocked into the streets sing
ing the "Carmagnole," and crying "a bas
Rochefort!' "a bas Drumont!" and "A
bas Guerin!'
The Guerin affair is becoming COM
plete farce.
