while furious that anyone should dare to touch the honor of the army; but in the long run Dreyfus was freed, not because he had been proven innocent but because it was shown that inno- cent or guilty prejudice had prevented him from receiving a fair trial-several of the officers against him being so convinced of his guilt that when short of the required evidence they manu- factured it.
 To win the war we do not have to placate the Bolsheviki. No; but we do want as far as we can to give the Bol- sheviki no further opportunities of prejudicing against us the ITO millions over whom they have more or less in fluence. You confuse the BolSheviki surely with the Russian people. They are not even the Russian radicals. The most extremely radical of the Russian | radicals are not only against them but | furiouSly against them-Such people as Kropotkin, the anarchist leader. whose portrait you published the other day with his statement that the Bolsheviki were not socialists, or Tchaikovsky the leader at one time of the Terror ists, who lately declared that if the Bolsheviki continued to suppress free l dom he would attempt to reorganiZe oe L. used to employ against the old govern ment of the Czar. or "Grandmother Breshkovskaya, at open war with them, all three of them indignantly insisting that the Russian people return to its duty against the common enemy of all | free peoples.

 at the very bottom of their hearts tha it is as much their war as anybody else's, that it is the war of the common
 citizen and not merely of the capitalist
 and that if they let up for a while il
 the class struggle so will the othe
 fellows.
 The.labor men evidently believe tha If such evidence as that of the people
