Washington. June G.--The decision In
the Dreyfus case excited much interest
in official and diplomatic quarters. par
ticularly at the French Embassy. and
the disposition was to accept the con-
clnsions of he Court as final and for
the best interests of all concerned.
Those holding responsible posts were
unwilling to discuss the a case which
has aroused such keen feeling. but in
n well-infOrmed quarter it was said
that the decision was particularly i'm
portant in taking the trial to the quiet
Brittany town of Rennes. This re-
moves the case from the excitement
and contention of Paris, and allows
the future inquiries to proceed calmly.
