NEW DREYFUS CASE
FRENCH SENSATION
AN ALLEGED BETRAYAL
ARMY FEELING HIGH
Uuitctl l'rcss Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received October 27, 11 a.m.) PARIS, October 26. For tho first time since tho Dreyfus case, troops are guarding the Law Courts at Bclfort owing to fears of disturbances at tho trial of Captain Froge, a French officer with a distinguished record, who is accused of betraying secret army plans to a foreign power.
Captain Frogc's lawyer is demanding that tho British Secret Service disclose documents revealing that the principal witness against Frogo was a spy in the service of various Governments, and is therefore unreliable.
Feeling in the army is very high, as Froge hitherto has been blameless, and it is felt that this may be another Dreyfus case.
"The secret hearing is a pretext to cover tho machinations of tho French Intelligence Service," declared Froge's counsel. '' There are obvious forgers on the French General Staff, which fears an open debate because tho dossier is ritldlecUwith improper proceedings and it does not want to lot daylight thereon."
