Dreyfus Reads Numerous Letters of Sympathy
The Cabinet Takes no Action in his
Case. Worlds Hostility Toward
France Unabated


Berlin, Sept. 12.-The German Com
missioner for the Paris Exposition, ac
companied by three assistants, has gone
to Paris to complete arrangements for
the German exhibitors. This is gener-
ally interpreted as indicating that Ger
many has no intention, as a nation, of
refraining from participating therein.
Many of the newspapers are pointing out
that the exhibition is not connected with
politics, and they council moderation
until the action of other nations is de-
termined. Germanys action, it is said,
will be governed largely by that of
Great Britain, the United States and
Austria.
The Neuste Nachrichten says it is ex-
tremely probable that Germany will
further interest herself in the Dreyfus
case by allowing documents proving his
Innocence and Esterhazy's guilt to be
published. But, the paper adds, there
are reasons to believe that should the
French Government officially apply for
these papers the documents would be
produced without any hesitation.-
