that he would not be recognized, but

project Of police and the chief of the
secret police, NJ. Viguier, who met him
at the railway station and accom-

The crowd made no demonstration.

ton Of the secret dossier, which will be
presented by Gen. Chamoin.
The consideration of the dossier, it is
expected, will occupy two days. so that
