The Yelled Lady.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 31-The Jewish
Sentiment in it's regular weekly edi-
ton Tomorrow afternoon will print a
story bearing with almost startling di-
rectness on the Dreyfus trial. Several
statements, apparently new to the now
celebrated case, are given, together
with names of those who are said to be
in possession of information which
will throw much new light on the trial
For the first time, it is believed, the
mode of carrying documents from the
French war office to the German gov
eminent is given. 1t shows that dolls
were used as the means of conveyance
and that the papers went first to Eng
land and then to Germany. The
identity of the "veiled LADY, is also
made known. The story which the SEN
timent will print comes from a man
who was employed several years ago
by the German government as docu-
ment translator. and maker of relief
maps and, who after quitting Ger
many, served in the United States
army during the war with Spain. He
shows his discharge paper, which de-
notes that he was a staff officer The
lnformer says he was born in Denver,
Colorado. The story, after some in
tfoductory remarks, reads:

uments at the great staff headquarters

garding gun No. 90 The original
document never left the French war of

written through the direct agency or
connivance of a chief of department.

secret service bureau in person or by

tons and details of gun No 20 of the
Robins shell and of the French war
vessels, Jauregibery, Charles Martel
and LaZar Carnot, together with the
plans of mobilization, were purchased

heart. He furnished much of the in
formation These documents We're never
received at the embassy-always at a
church, public function or a private
dinner party. The French spies were
always on the alert and only through
such means could their watchfulness
be circumvented.
The baroness is the party referred
to in the Dreyfus trial as the 'veiled
lady. She received from Prince Pless
a regular pension. Every siES months
remittances are made anonymously to
