of the french spy apy esterhazy and that esterhazy had sold french secrets to the germans and the italians both before and after af t e r dreyfus was air arrested rested and imprisoned the explanation put forward by the army and the government for ester cazys published letters denouncing france and for his selling secrets is that he did it in the regular course of his business the better to get hold of the secrets of other governments the explanation of the resemblance of the handwriting of the bordereau to ester cazys handwriting is that thi dreyfus knowing business imitated his handwriting the better to conceal himself the army and the government have alleged from the first that there is other evidence against dreyfus which can in no circumstances be disclosed for grave reasons of state they allege that these reasons are so grave that any act to suppress the dreyfus agitation would be justifiable on the other hand the friends of dreyfus allege that these so called grave reasons of state are merely the cover for a clique of disreputable army officers and their dupes who have been conspiring not against france directly but first against the hebrews in the army and latterly to defend themselves from exposure and disgrace when dreyfus was publicly degraded he cried out in three years the truth will be known kno this seems to indicate that he knew the real cause of the attack upon him and that there was some definite specific reason why this cause should not come out for at least three years it is now three years and two thirds of another since that statement was made and the truth seems to be slowly rising to the surface but would such a state 0 of f things be possible I 1 in any other nati nation 0 n than fr prance nce |
