DREYFUS. ONCE DEGRADED. IS NOW A MAJOR IN
A CRACK REGIMENT IN THE ARMY OF FRANCE
1996
Fifteen yearn ago today Papt. Alfred
Dreyfus was convicted by court-mar
tlal for the second time on the charge
of selling French military secrets to
foreign powers It was one of the
most sensational trials of the age. dur
ing w hich it w as alleged vliat the peace
of Europe was threatened through the
"Dreyfus affair." The verdict brought
vigorous protests from the entire civ
ilized world, which was convinced of
the captain's Innocence. Arrested five
years before, he had been convicted
by his superior ofhcers at a court-mat -
tlal, degraded before army comrades,
transported to Devil's island to ex
piate the alleged crime, and had
been, through the efforts of influential
friends, brought back to France for a
retrial The eyes of the world were
turned upon the court at Hennes.
where the Semetic army officer, the
first Hebrew ever to have entered the
stafT of the French army, was buttling
for his honor. Four hundred Journal
ists. from the four corners of the
earth, rubbed elbows with society
women, some of whom had paid as
much as 9400 for a seat. Sensation
followed sensation during the trial;
hut none was more startling than
that testimony given by General Mer
cier. the former minister of war. He
averred that, during the Dreyfus af1,
fair, the German ambassador at Par's
had delivered an imperative demand
that certain paperR. alleged to have
been Rtolen from the German embassy,
be returned to Germany. "From eight
O'clock.” said the general, while the
atidience hung breathless on his reve
lation of a crisis In the destiny of
France, “until after midnight the pres
| blent of the republic, the prime min
ister i.nd I waited to know whether
war or peace would be the outcome of
the negotiations We were within a
hair’s breadth of war." Suicide and
degradation of Dreyfus' accusers fol*
I lowed his acquittal.
1914 •
Today Dreyfus is not only a free
man. but he has been restored to the
French army with great public cere
mony. A captain when degraded. h«
is now a major in a crack artillery
regiment that usually is detailed to all
state functions. Suffering the great
est of humiliations for a soldier fer
12 years, ho today is fully cleared of
'treason and has been honored with
the distinction of a commander of the
Legion of Honor. His champions dur
ing his time of trouble have likewise
been honored. Zola, the great French
author, who suffered imprisonment for
his fiery defense of Dreyfus, is now
dead, but the republic honored his
memory by placing his body in the
Pantheon, the burial place of the
great soldiers of France Picnuart. a
brother officer, then with the runk of
colonel, who was cashiered from the
army for defending Dreyfus, was re
stored with all honors and promoted
i to the rank of brigadier general. Drey*
1 fus’ enemies have been coufounded
' Colonel Henry, formerly connected
with the war office, is dead by his own
hand, after having confessed to forg
ing Dreyfus' name to a document that
. helped to send him to Devil's island
Major Ksterhazy had publicly con
teased through the lxmdon Chronicle
that he wrote the bordereau, the fa
mouH document which, more than any
thing else, brought about the convic
tion for treason against Dreyfus Ks
terhazy is now an exile from France,
though not subject to official punish
ment through a recent amueaty law
I which pardons all offenders against
the stute up to the year 1911. Today
the war with Germany has come
about, hut not through the machina
tions of the Dreyfus affair. Dreyfus'
son is fighting tor France on the firing
lino and was recently promoted for
gallantry in battle to the rank of Her

ILL STREET DEAD
War Killed Business in That Fa
mous Thoroughfare.
—
Brokerage Flrma Are Idle and Moat
of Them Have Been Compelled
to Discharge Many
Employes.
(International News Service.)
New York.—The European war lias
i played havoc in Wall etreet. That
“crooked thoroughfare, with a river ut
one end and a cemetery at the other"
1b only a wraith of ItH former Belf.
While It would be an exaggeration to
say that graBH Ih growing in Wall
street, there has been a great differ
ence in the place wince the Htock ex
change cloned.
People still pass frequently along
Hroad and W'all streets, a few men
stand idly In the open space at Hroad
Etreet and Exchange place, and the
cabbies still drowse on the stand be
fore the stock exchange, out all is not
as it once was.
There Is a lack of excitement, of
bustle and business about the street
that never was known there In the
j days of prosperity before the war
cauie. Not even In he days of 1!»07
was there Huch stagnation there. No
body seems to be In a hurry. There
is no shouting and gesticulation from
windows, giving quotations and orders
to waiting brokers In the street. One
receives the distinct Impression that
the sidewalk pedestrians are walking
to kill time.
Hecause of the war In Europe, which
paralyzed the markets of the world,
hundreds of rnen end women in Wall
street, book-makers, clerks and ste
nographers, nre out of employment,
watching their small savings dwindle.
The brokers declare that they are
no better oft than the employes they
have discharged "How could we help
ourselves?" demanded one broker.
I "We did not wish to turn off men and
women we had trusted. In some cases,
for years. Hut what recourse have
we? My firm Is a smnll one. yet with
the help reduced to a minimum and
my partners and I doing m*st of the
■ book-keeping, the office expenses are
1IWJ, m unj, T» nil iiu it**w riUKincH* or
any sort that means our net loss Is
1100 a day, or $3,000 a month Resides
that, I have the interest, to pay on
my seat on the stock exchange I
bought mine when business was good
and paid $74,000 for It. All this counts
up I am living on my savings None
the brokers In the street are any
better off than I am. and many of
them are In much worse plight.”
Different Arms have pursued differ
ent policies In dealing with the unique
situation presented by the shutting off
of the speculaMve trade Some, which
feel sufficiently prosperous, have re
talned all their help Hut In the rna
Jorlty of cases th« re ha* been at lear.
a partial reduction of the staffs. The
newer employes were given a week's
or two weeks’ salary and «fl*mls*rd
with the promise they would be glv* n
first chance st their old positions
when business was resumed
Again, some Arms expect their em
ployes to report at the offices every
morting as If business were going on,
while a few of the Arms are paying
their employes full salary hut telling
them to stay away from the wffices
and get the oeneAt of a real vacation
The same state of affairs prevails
•ow more or less In the shipping trade.
With Httle or no steamship traffic and
importation at a standstill, there Is
■■thing shipping employes can do.
