4 GROWING VICTORY IN FRANCE.

"There are" said Montague, some defeats
that are more triumphant than victories" The
words of the French philosopher may well come
home to all thoughtful Frenchmen now, III con-
terminating the sequences Of the Rennes court
martial That trial was technically defeat
for CAPTAIN Drcyfus and his friends. As we
shall see. on the main issue il was more tri-
unphant than mere victory on the technical
iesuc before that court. The military ring for
tbot unpleasant term seems justly applicable
secured q nominal victory. But in view Of the
odinm II brought upon itself. il might well have
said with Pyrrhus, another such victory and
We are undone": while now. in the presence OF
what has occurred, Il may well reckon itself

We have from the beginning held that the
supreme issue Of the Dreyfus anair. at least so
far as France herself is concerned, Is not the
fate NJ any one man. innocent or guilty though
no may he: nor vet is II the manner In which
the military courts administer justice or injus
flee No. but Il Is the question whether the
army shall be the servant or the master OF the
State: whether in time Of peace the civil or
the military authority shall be the stronger;
whether IN brief France shall be a republic or
a military ogarchy That is the issue which
outranks In Importance even that Of the con
duct OF the courts because there Is no question
about the courts, excepting as they come under
military control or influence. The two courts

one Of the most potential factors in The re
