1914 and 1915. This was the reorganiza-

plotters and intriguers. the overthrow Of
the professional posers and favorites OF

A farcical court-martial sentenced the
unhappy Jew to "Ile du Diable" for life:
This unspeakable place. a lonely island
of the coast of French Guinea. was a
penal colony for negroes. There Drey-
fus was "railroaded," after being public
ly disgraced. and there he remained five
years. At the famous Rennes trial the
procurator general pictured the pris-

words:

which had 'railroaded' Dreyfus and was
frustrated at every step in his inquiries,
he became convinced that the Jewish
captain was the victim of vile plot and
thenceforth devoted his life to vindicat-

knew not one detail Of the merits Of his
case shouted for his blood His friends
rallied around the standard of a political
party known as the Dreyfusards. Anti
semitism and anti-Dreyfusardism mill

But his friends were no less active.
Clemenceau, who afterwards became

in the interests of Dreyfus. Emile Zola

the paramount political. religious and
social topic in France. Dreyfus was still
on DEVILS island. Picquart and Zola

his behalf. Esterhazy. Henry and du
