For the nrsr. time since the Dreyfus ease, troops are guarding the law courts at Belfort, owing to fears of disturbances at the trial of Captain Froge, a French officer with a distinguished record, who is accused of betraying secret army plans to a foreign Power. Captain Froge’s lawyer is demanding that the British secret service should disclose documents revealing that the principal witness against Captain Froge was- a spy in tile service of various Uovernmeiits, and for this reason was unreliable. Feeling in the army is very high, as Captain Froge hitherto has been blameless, and it is felt that this may be another Dreyfus case.
“The secret hearing is a pretext to cover the machinations of the French intelligence service'” declared Captain Froge’s counsel. “There are obvious forgers oil the. French general staff, which fears an open debate because the dossier is riddled with improper proceedings, and does not want to let daylight. thereon.”
