est drama of modern times has supplied
change of scene.
Gen. Mercier, who was among those who
bounded Dreyfus to Devils Isle, has left
France for England.
The French newspapers state that he has
fled from Paris to escape the odum that Is
now cast on him; that his position in the
senate is impossible to maintain, and that,
while owing to the amnesty he cannot be
made to suffer for his action in the Drey
fus case, his career in French public life is
at an end--thus making another in the long
list of the Dreyfus victims.
The flight of MERCER was the direct result
of a remarkable open letter from NJ. Castor
Merry defending his silence He declared
that the generals letters were mere sub
terfuge, and demanded that the full story
of the tragic circumstances under which
the treason was discovered, with all the
dates and the most minute details, should
at once be made public.
There was, he claimed, no fear of war
with Germany now, and the history or the
night at the Elysee when war with Ger
many was dreaded must be related, what
ever the consequences of this avowel might
be. Passonately he concluded:
For the last time, speak, general! Public
esteem still allows you credit for one day.
Tomorrow 1t will be too late
Still Gen. MERCER kept silence. Tomor-
row 1t was too late.
He was openly denounced in the French
senate and chamber and being unwilling
or unable to defend himself left France for
England so secretly that 1t was claimed
that he stole away. 1t was at first claimed
that he was away on a vacation. but 1t Is
now declared his exile Is permanent.

Meanwhile bands of convicts were roam
