FOOTNOTES

NOTES OF ETEXT TRANSCRIBER

It is my pleasant duty to thank the brave friends who have defended me during the past year, in the Parisian press:--at the end of October 1914, Amédée Dunois in _l'Humanité_, and Henri Guilbeaux, in the _Bataille syndicaliste_; in the same paper, _Fernand Deprès_; Georges Pioch in the _Hommes du Jour_; J. M. Renaitour, in the _Bonnet Rouge_; Rouanet, in _l'Humanité_; Jacques Mesnil, in the _Mercure de France_, and Gaston Thiesson, in the _Guerre Sociale_. To these faithful comrades in the struggle I express my affectionate gratitude.
