Interview With ZolO.

Paris, Aug. 22-Emile Zola said to me
| today. summing up the events of the
| past week in the Dreyfus trial.
you ask me where are the overwhelm
ing proofs of Dreyfus' guilt, or where are
any proofs at all? The echo OF these
words answers 'where?' Ever since l ac-
cused General Bilot of having evidence
of Dreyfus' innocence felt sure that the
general could not be trusted.
Mystery and secrecy have done these
ostrich-headed soldiers no good. They
present the court with nothing but gos-
sip, title-tattle, forgerieS, all seasoned
with bad faith Here is a specimen OF
the stupidties which have influenced ali
the movements against Dreyfus; EX-
Minister Of the Colonies Lebon has the
brazen effrontery to stand up in court
and say the suspicious movements Of an
American vessel near Devils Island caus-
ed him to tie Dreyfu' hands and feet al
night and Theoretically seal his den by
day If this man be not an imbecile. OF

the United States would get out of the
ridiculous position as best she could
Thus far, all the witnesses against
Dreyfus have spoken not as witnesses,
but as people trying to explain or to de-
fend their own conduct. The witnesses
admit crime which destroys the worth OF
their evidence. Those who condone for
gerry might well encourage perjury. There
has not appeared even one impartial wit
ness against Dreyfus. Conscienceless and
characteriess. they have droned out their
well-studied parts. In all the annals OF
political crime, there is 10 more deeply

Where pigeons are kept it is too
often the practice to house them in
some low loft under the caves. where
it is inconvenient TO visit them and
where the birds often suffer neglect.
If possible ii is better to have quarters
upon the ground floor and preferably
in separate building. The pigeon
house may well be made an ornament
to the place. With this idea in view the
accompanying illustrtion IS given.
