fair This extraordinary case has
had an unparalleled effect upon con-
temporaneous history and marks
new epoch in Jewish history.
political complications of the highest
Importance rending France into two
sections, and attracting the attention
of the whole civilized world, deserves
full treatment as it's Jewish aspects
were, from first to last, it's leading fea-
ture. The allegations of miscarriage
of justice trace the final responsible
ity to anti-Semitism, and if we wish
to understand the true inwardness of
the Dreyfus case, it is as chapter in
the history of this sinister movement
that we must consider it. The viru-
lence of the passions aroused by this
case was directly the result of the
spread of anti-Semitism in France.
This fact has been acknowledged by
both Jews and non-Jews alike.
To fully understand the origin of the
Dreyfus case, it is necessary first to
give a sketch of the birth of anti
Semitism in Europe at large and in
France in particular, and the remark
able Roadway it had made when the
Dreyfus case began.
Nearly a quarter of a century had
elapsed since this strange revival of
medieval obscurantism first manifest
ed itself in Germany, the centre, we
are so often told, of modern learning
and latter-day enlightenment. 1t was,
however, the very subtlety of German
learning which made anti-Semitism
possible, for at first the movement was
learned movement only, and it repud-
lated all connections with the gross leg
endary which had so often maddened
the brutal instincts in less blessed
ages

not wanting. In the first place, there
was in Germany a large Jewish popu-
lation which tended to increase as the
"Drargnach Weston" of oppressed
Jews assumed larger proportions.
Again, the Jews, being through no
fault of their own, essentially a COM
mercial class, they took their place in
Germany as in every other free coun-
try with the Liberal bourgeoisie, who
by the operation of the constitutional
system, had ousted the mobiles and
landowners from their former monop-
oily of political power Hence not only
had they shared in the resentment and
dislike with which the landed capital
lists regarded the industrial capitalists,
but by the prominence and activity of
few of them in the new plutocracy,
that dislike became tinged with tacit
sions and prejudices.
The political union of Germany and
the great outburst of National con
seriousness following in it's train, were
the magical touches which blew these
embers of superstition and race hate
red into flame. Jewish blood and
Jewish patriotism had contributed
richly to the making of the German
Empire, but this counted for nothing
with the theorists who now began to
discuss the unity and supremacy of
the German national element in the
light of the dawning Jewish question.
The dominating schools of German
philosophy had paved the way for the
new agitation. Hagel had combatted
German spirit. Schopenhauser had
pictured the optimism of Judaism as
a degrading phenomenon by the side
of Hellenic ideals. These ideas APP
piled by men like Trietschke, Adolph
Wagner, Duhrirg and Narr, spread
rapidly in the universities. Anthropoli-
gists and economists were soon found
to reinforce the metaphysicians, and

THE DREYFUS CASE: ITS SIGNIFICANCE
AS

expelling the Jews as Heterogeneous
element in the national life became
question of actual politics.
Thus far France in particular has
not been referred to although the
broad lines in which the rise of mod
ern Judeaphobia has been sketched
apply just as well to France and Aus
tria, for France, which imports most
of it's Jews from Germany has sought
in the same country for it's antidote.
In France, where anti-Semitism has
reached it's lowest level, it has
reached that level precisely in the
same way as the degradation of Ger
man anti-Semitism. In both cases the
object is the same. Republican France,
however, with it's corrupt political life,
has proved the forcing ground for a
ranker growth than has been possible
anywhere else in Europe.
The Arena of Sept 1906, has the fol-
lowing to say concerning the origin
of the Dreyfus case:
1t would be difficult to exaggerate
the deadly danger that menaced
France at the time when the young
Jewish officer was arrested, brutally
insulted and condemned first to death,
and later to life Imprisonment in a
fever infected country far from home
and civilization
For several years prior to this out
rage monarchal military and reaction
airy clerical influences in France had
been working in perfect unison to con-
pletely capture the army, to entrench
themselves in the government and its
various branches, and to destroy the
power and efficacy of the free schools
of France while building up again the
old religious orders, which in the mon
archal and despotic ages had been only
second to the throne in power. Step
by step, silently and persistently, this
reactionary movement was pressed for
ward, and at every step the govern
ment became more timid. But one

MEETS THE OBJECTION.
Plan for Mailing Packages Bearing
Red Cross Stamps.

The American Red Cross Society has
arranged with the Post ONCE Department
to have letters and parcels bearing Red
Cross stamps and addressed to Great
Britain or Germany re-enveloped and sent
properly postpaid to their destination
when such letters and parcels for one
reason or another are sent to the dead
letter Office.
Great Britain will not admit letters ana
parcels to her mails which bear the Red
Cross stamps, and Germany likewise ex-
cludes them unless the stamps are at
tached to the back of the letter or wrap
per- Consequently such letters as do not
bear the name and address of sender are
sent to the dead letter office.
The present arrangement, it is explain
ed. will entirely remedy the trouble
caused by the use of the Red Cross
stamps.
