formed him that he failed to see how his
appointment as premier would bring
about solution of the crisis. Henri Bris-

NJ. Waldeck-Rousseau waited upon Cas-

induce him to accept the portfolio of war
on the ground that his presence at the
culties of the situation. Thereupon NJ.
Cassimir Perrier consulted with the pres

would be able to exercise more authority
than any one else over the generals in

withdrawn from politics, but nevertheless,
would undertake to consider the matter.
NJ. Waldeck Rousseau was notified of this
reply, which gives him full liberty to
constitute a cabinet of republican union.
The question is now whether he will
go as far as to include a socialist in the
ministry. He himself is indisposed TO do
SO. and no doubt his view will prevail.
1t is said that Clement Fallieres, presi-
dent of the senate informed NJ. Loubet
this afternoon that the senate seemed
opposed to the conclusion of Alexander
Millerand, the radical socialist in the
cabinet.

was minister for war when Captain Drey-

first time since the court of cessation

Your acclamations," said General Mer-
cier, ARE addressed only in a small part
to the soldier who did his duty in 1894

in 1899. They are chiefly addressed to our
dear army, of which. at this critical mo-
ment, you do me the honor of regarding
as the standard-bearer.''
He then proceeded to declare his abso-
lutte conviction of the guilt of Captain
Dreyfus and his belief that the Rennes
court-martial would fearlessly assert the
truth and do it's duty.
