DREYFUS HONOURED. I At the Paris Higher Military School, the place where he was publicly degraded and his sword taken from him more than eleven years ago, Major Dreyfus on Saturday received full reparation, France's highest decoration, the Cross of the Legion of Honour, being conferred upon him. The whole ceremony was extremely simple. The troops were mustered in full parade order in the Cour des Jardins. Among those present were General Picquart, Mme. Dreyfus and her sons, and M. Anatole France. General Guillain, representing President Fal- lieres, performed the ceremony, which was ac- companied by full military honours and an in- spection of troops. At two o'clock precisely the general arrived, and immediately the cere- mony commenced. Not more than two minutes were occupied by the inspection, and then General Guillain ordered Major Dreyfus and Major Targe, who was also honoured, to ap- proach. In a voice heard throughout the square, the general spoke the few words conferring the cross, and as the grand salute rang out pinned it on Major Dreyfus's tunic. Immediately the Major was surrounded by his brother-officers, and cries of "Vive Dreyfus!" Vive, l'arméa 1" funded on all sides. He smilingly acknow- redged their greetings and drove away gaily waving his hand.
