MISPLACED SYMPAIHY.
The case of Dreyfus, who is serv
ing a life sentence at Cayenne f< r
betraying state secrets to Ger
many has attracted more sympa
thy than it deserves. Says the
Philadelphia Times,
He was an officer in the French
army and he sold information of
military movements to the German
Government. He not only r«
ceived money in considerable
sums for it but’ he had secured a
promise from the Emperor if a
commission in the Germ n line in
case that war broke mt.
It was a distinct and definit
bargain He had offered to discov
er to (be Germans certain military
information, and to desert to their
service for a commission. His of
fer was ac« I, with a qu idea
tion that . e could be more use
ful where he was he should re
main there and received current
pay for his services.
Bt-irg uspected by his French
superiors. he was admitted into a
pretended plan of mobilizing 100,-
000 troops against Walhausen in
case of war.M ithin a Week a secret
agent of France in’Berim reported
that the Kaiser's war department
was in possession of all the pre
tended facts, and had taken steps
to meet it.
Dreyfus was brought co trial,
and said that he may have inad
vertantly mentioned the matter t• >
some of his brother officers in the
intelligence department, and he
gav? the names of several to whom
he had spoken on the subject.
These officers were summoned and

PH?« ar< ’ t!ie "“b 1 pin* to take
» S J JU » Hood’s Sarsaparilla :
this excuse disposed of.
In the prosecution that followed
irrefutable proofs were gathered
and Dreyfus received a well-meri'-
ed punishment, [t does not mat
ter that other names are mix' d up
in the case, and that some agent?
from Berlin and others are charg
ed with having a share in the plot.
Dreyfus’ guilt stands out clear and
distinct.
That he is imprisoned in an op
en barred cage instead of a close
prison is an amelioration of
his punishment, not a factor of
inhuman severely. He is not ex
posed to public view, there is no
public at the Cayenne penal sta
tioned, and in that tropica l cli
mate he fares tbe better by the
reason of his cage than he cou'd
do in a cell of a thick wall prison .
In Europe it has always been
h 'd a 8< ricis offense to reveal
mi ! i iry informa'ion m tiir. s of
, peace. Aa Earl’s nephew i i the
English army who escorted an
American naval officer over some
of the defensive works at Ports
mouth was promptly brought to
trial by a courimartial and sent
out of tbe sei vice in dirgrace.
It was only a mistaken act of
friendly hospitality, but the war
department approved the findings
, of the court and public opinion
was gratified by it. In our own
, country we tell all we know about
, <ur strt r.gth, offensive and defen
sive, with a generous frankness
which can scarcely be called wise,
f For unat ly, the newspapers
. publish so much n ore than is
t true that very little accurate in
formation gets afloat, so that in
. our case no harm is’don *, and in
the matter of the English officer
none was intended. The Dreyfus
mailer is all different. It was
. treason for a mercenary reason
- and ha has only got what he de
. serves.
