"That was to be expected, with such a large army of untrained men In the field. There should never have been any lack of supplies after the first great movement aud I do not know that there was. "The greatest trouble seems to have arisen from the neglect of sanitary regulations. The executive officers of each regiment are responsible for that. "The blame for the sickness rests first on the colonel and then up to the highest general In the camp. Each executive olflcer should have seen to It that men obeyed the camp rules. Here we had thousands of the heart iest men In America. Many had never been sick and scouted tho thought that sickness would overtake them. They were careless.

I Intend to make this disclos ure In the Interest of truth, regardless of Its result to Dreyfus personally. "I can no longer allow myself to he made a scapegoat. The responsibility must be fairly distributed. "Everything I did was In blind, un questioning obedience to my superior officer. I am a professional soldier. I know no law but the law of absolute obedience to my superiors. If I were ordered to take a gun and shoot my own brother I would do so without the slightest hesitation. "I have now only my own honor to consider. My military chiefs have abandoned me. I owe them no further I allegiance. I "You ask me tf I was a spy, a secret I agent employed by the French mlll j tary staff to watch the attaches of the | foreign powers. I answer that I acted 1 loyally under orders. My justification I shall be made plain at the proper time, which is very near at hand, j "You want to know whether my dis j closures will clear Dreyfus. 1 answer | that out of the thousand documents ; making up the Dreyfus 'dossier' (pa ] pers in the case) I know that six hun dred are forged. I am prepared to show by whom and under what cir cumstances these forgeries were com mitted. "Whether Dreyfus is the Innocent his champions suppose remains to be seen. That can he safely left to the public to judge when they are In pos session of all the facts." Blanco ltnaily to riglit.
