IS that these perils will become more threat

as may be In travelling TO and from their

mind, however, that these new electric cars

EVERYTHING THE GENERAL KNOWS.


General MERCER, who was Minister Of War
In France AT the time of the first Dreyfus trial,
and who took an active personal interest in
that detestable traycsty upon justice, said to
VI. Paul Derouledes League OF Patriots on Sun
day that at the forthcoming new trial of Cap
tain Dreyfus at Rennes he will tell everything
he knows about that case That assurance Is
highly gratifying. II affords. II Is true strlk-
ing contrast to the attitude Of General Mercier
a little while ago. On February 8, 1898 Gen
eral MERCER was witness In the lola trial.
and on that occasion he devoted himself to
answering as few questions as possible and to
revealing as little as possible OF whatever
knowledge he may have had concerning the
Dreyfus affair. However, a good many things
have happened since then.
He was asked In the Zoa trial II II was true
that secret document was introduced into the
Dreyfus trial in 1894. His reply was. Il will
not answer" In that refusal the Judge sus-
talned him. II Is to be presumed that at the
coming trial he Will answer that question He

was introduced He viii tell whether or not a
