Vindicated at Last.—About twelve years ago the world was stirred by the sensational trial of Captain Dreyfus, of the French army, on a charge of selling army secrets to the German Government. He was condemned, dismissed from the army, and sentenced to imprisonment for life on Devil's Island, in the Caribbean Sea. After suffering for about two years the awful ordeal, his friends succeeded in getting him a new trial, and showing that he was not guilty. Dreyfus is a Jew, and when it was found that such an offense had been committed, high officials conspired to screen the man who did it and lay the blame on the Jew. The second trial exonerated Captain Dreyfus, but he was not restored to his rank in the army, because of the prejudice in that branch of the government. But the matter has been agitated in political and racial circles until, at last, the vindication has been made complete, and the persecuted officer has been restored to the rank he would have acquired had he been continually in the service. His rank would now be that of major.
