In. Many of the newspapers are point
Ing out that the exhibition Is not con-
nected with politics, and they counsel
moderation until the action Of other
nations is determined. Gcrmany's ac-
ton. 1t Is said, will be governed by
that Of Great Britain, the United States
and Austria.

Will further interest herself in the
Dreyfus case by allowing documents
proving the innocence of Dreyfus and
1csterhazys guilt 10 be published. But,

believe that should the French govern
ment officially apply for these papers
the documents would be produced
without any hesitation.
