Gen. Mercier has discovered the cause
of the almost universal sympathy ex-
pressed for Dreyfus outside of France.

IL there Is anything In which an anarchist
takes unalloyed delight 1t is In wrecking
a church. 1t is about time the Man
on Horseback was putting in an appear

In his yellow journal interview Croker
is quoted as saying: 1T Is almost IN
credible that a president OF the United
States Is willing to desolate and destroy
thousands Of homes" THE situation Is
so shocking. SO indecent from the ordi-
nary American standpoint" On the wit
