most Of the influential classes being IN

Dreyfus was confined in a hut. or rather

He was manacled to the wall By chain,
which Just permitted him to move to his
bed and solitary chair.
No one else lived on the island, for II

cially. He was the brother-in-law Of
French Cabinet Minister.
During the war Mata Hari, who was re-
garded as thoroughly French IN sympa-
thies, performed vital espionage service for
the Germans. When the English had per
fected their wonderful tanks and were
about to launch them against the Germans
in their offensive Of 1915, the latter got
wind Of what was coming.
Mata Hari exercised her weII-tried
charms successfully upon an English OIL
Ger who was in the tank service and had
been sent to Paris ahead OF their arrival.
She learned from him when these new
weapons would arrive at a French channel
port. She went to that port and picked up
certain valuable details about the nature
Of the tanks, and Germany was thus
enabled to be at least partially on guard
against them.
Mata Hari carried on most Of her com
munications with Germany by way Of the
German espionage service at San sebas-
tian in Spain. This Is a favorite cosmo-
politan resort within a few miles Of the
French frontier, and there seemed no good
reason why a foreigner sympathetic to
France should not go to this resort and
return.
Colonel Dreyfus, who had known some
OF the family Of the young banker ruined
by Mata Hari, considered certain facts he
had learned about her and suggested, it is
understood, to the French Government
that it would be wise to investigate her.
An investigation Of Mata Harris activi-
ties by the French counter-espionage ser
vice followed and many evidences of her
guilt were unearthed. She was arrested
in the Fall Of 1917 and tried by court
martial.
Two weeks later the announcement was
made that she had been condemned to
death for espionage.
The dancer made a desperate fight for.
her life. She summoned every influential
friend she had known in prosperity to help
her. One of the best lawyers in Paris,
Edouard Clunet, defended her. She OBJ
.ained an appeal, but the sentence was
confirmed by the Review Court and later
ratified by the Supreme Court.
Every appeal having been exhausted, the
sentence Of the court-martial had to be

should Be done to poor Alfred Dreyfus.
Even at the outbreak Of the war the old
prejudiess against him we're stnl rampant.
but after his wonderful services during
the great struggle not a voice was raised
against him in any quarteF-there was no

on the left bank of the Seine, in The city
Of Paris. Alfred Dreyfus, looking like a
man already dead, marched between a, 8ls
Of soldiers and came to a halt before Gen.
eral Darras. He wore a captain OF artsi-
lery's uniform and carried a sword in his
hand. The verdict Of the courtmartisl
eonvicting him as a spy was read to him.
An adjutant seized his sword and broke It
across his knee. Then he cut all the in
sigma and buttons from the captains uni

'Vive la France" cried Dreyfus. "You
have degraded an innocent man. I sweaf
! am innocent"
Then he was, marched away to mis- long
purgatory on Devils Island.
It is believed that the conspiracy to con-
vice Dreyfus originated in the striving Of
some corrupt officers to conceal their own
misdeeds. In 1894 a French scrubwoman
at the German Embassy in Paris, found in
the waste paper basket Of Colonel Schwaz-
koppen, the German military attache a
scrap Of paper called a 'bordereau," which
read in part:
i send you some interesting infOrma-
ton, namely a note concerning the hydrau-
lie brake Of the 12O cannon and the way
the gun is managed. A note upon the
'troupes de couverture'; some modiica-

he was too reserved and studiOus.
