i Where America Is Winning Her Way.
i Tho United States consul at Vienna
fin a report to the State department on
Ike trade of Austria- Hungary for loi>7
-ascribes the general decrease in ex- 1
ports to this country to the fact that j
the name goods are now manufactured
in the United States and can be sold at i
the same or lower prices thon tbe Aus
trian goods. The report la that Ameri
can eilk is. being sold in Lyons, the
Teal silk centre" of Europe, and the
French manufacturers are buying it in (
Jar go quantities, especially that used i
forlining purposes, to take tho place of j
that formerly imported from Austria ;
nnd Germany.
r? The Reason Why.
1 The impression is daily gaining cre
dence that the so-called "secret" which
influences each war'iuinistcr to oppose
the revision of tho Dreyfus case at any
cost, is the appalling fact that a ma
jority of the general staff* was leagued
in the corrupt and traitorous praoticea
of whioh Dreyfus was the 'only soapo
goat. Tho disclosure of the humiliat
ing truth would incite the outraged
Frenchmen to revolution.
