be appointed heads of departments by the Mayor.

DISCOVERED DREYFUS'S INNOCENCE


Philippe Varilla- the newly appointed diplomatic
agent at Washington Of the republic Of Panama, IS
well known to many persons here and in Washing
ton as well as in the inner political circles of
Paris. He is a Frenchman by birth and edu-
Gated at St Cyr. near Paris. where he was class
mate Of Emile Dreyfus. He took prominent part
in producing evidence in the defence of that officer
at his trial at Rennes. Vsrilla's brother is the

Partisan journals.
The story of the part Vanilla took in the Dreyfus
case is an interesting one. A dozen years ago Va

gineers to explore the country Narilla intended to
visit. Dreyfus's letter was written 70 advise MIN

turned to Paris after Dreyfus had been convicted
and sent to DEVILS Island.
