the Greek barbados and the Latin

Dreyfus Case Parallel Seen
In Murder of Maj. Cronkhite
Investigations Demanded Tend to Cast Suspi-
cion of Anti-Jewish Prejudice in Army
Behind Rosenbluth's Prosecution.

NEW YORK. April l7.-Evidences
that the investigation which is
being put under way in the case of
Capt. Robert Rosenbluth will de-
velop into an American repetition
of the famous Dreyfus case showed
plainly today ip three separate di-
rections.
In each case there were indica-
tions that efforts would be made TO
show that anti-Jewish prejudice Is
responsible for the attacks upon
Rosenbl4eh.
The insistence of United States
Senator William NJ. Calder that a
fun investigation shall be made. and
the demand of Or. Katharine B b
Davis, formerly Rosenbluth's chier,
for justice, all combined to throw
strong suspicion upon the character
of the Rosenbluth prosecution.

is it true that there exists in the
army an antipathy to Jews that has
made the former captain a mark in
his present situation
Army officers say that such is not
the case. Many of Rosenbluth's sup
porters insist that IL is. And they
intimate that an investigation. once
under way. will take on nationwide
Importance and extend TO every cor
ncr Of the army organization.
Briefly. Rosenbluth is charged
with having directed Roland Pothier,
sergeant, to murder Mai. Alex
ander Cronkhite while on duty on
the target range at Camp Lewis,
Washington. Pothier is alleged TO
have made a confession. and Rosen-
bluth is at large upon $4,000 bail.
Murder. Not suicide.
1t was in the summer of 1918
when CrOnkhite was killed. The
death was called suicide until the
return of Gen. Cronkhite. father OF
the major, from France. Then the
body was eXhumed and examined.
and the charge Of murder made.

case. When they completed their

DOoRN. April 17.-Broken, de-
jected and fearful. ex-Kaiser will
helm left his exile at Doom for a
short time this evening. accom-
panying the body of his wife, the
late ex-Kaiserin. as far as Maarn,
little border station. in the spe-
cial imperial train that carried a
large mourning party OF relatives
and friends. From Maarn the ex-
Kaiser returned to Doom by motor.
accompanied by the ex-Crown Prince
and many others of their personal
followers.
Hundreds of curious people
crowded about the main entrance of
the Kaiser's high-walled retreat as
evening drew on, to catch a glimpse
of the cortege. They were frus-
trated, however, by the strategy Of
the ex-Kaiser in directing ;hat the
large oaken casket. mounted in sill
yer, be taken out through a disused
and almost unknown door in the
wall. whence II was quickly carried
to the Doom railroad station.
Great Gathering Present.
A gathering of ex-titled and titled
persons which would have been a
mighty representation but a few
years ago, assembled within the
castle walls to pay theiR last re-
spects to the deceased ex-Empress
and console the former monarch.
The Crown Prince came unaccom-
panied, wearing deepest mourning.
Prince and Princess Adelbert. the
Duke of Brunswick and his wife.
the Duchess, who was Princess Vic
toria Louise. daughter of the ex-
Kaiser; Prince Oscar. Prince Helm
rich, of Prussia, who is the ex-
Kaiser's brother. and scores of per-
sonal friends of the Hohenzollerns
accompanied the body to the border.
Ex-Kaiser is shielded.
Unusual precautions were taken
by the Netherlands government to
protect the ex-Kaiser and his family
from the scrutiny of the crowd and
to shield the cortege from the at
tentions of corresponde nts and mo-
tion picture news photographers.
When she ex-Kaiser stood con
versing with members of his family
just prior to boarding the train, he
appeared bent and listless, and sud
denly burst into sobs with tears
coursing down his face.
The Crown Prince is expected to
remain at Doom with his father for
q few days. which may mean a rec
onciliation between them.
