immense progress that socialism had made in all lands since
the year 1893. Towns as important as Lille, Roubaix, Calais,
Montluçon, Narbonne, re-elected socialist majorities to
administer their affairs; and even where there was only a
socialist minority, a socialist mayor was elected, as in the
case of Dr. Flaissières at Marseilles, and Cousteau at
Bordeaux. But in the small towns and the villages our
victories have been especially remarkable. The Parti Ouvrier
alone can reckon more than eighteen hundred m municipal
councillors elected upon its collectivist programme; and at
the Lille Congress, which was held a few days before the
International Congress in London, thirty-eight socialist
municipal councils and twenty-one socialist minorities of
municipal councils were represented by their mayors or by
delegates chosen by the party."

The Dreyfus Affair.
"The Court-martial was duly held, and Captain Dreyfus had the
aid of counsel, Maître Demange; but the first act of the Court
was, at the instance of the Government representative, to
declare the 'huis cols,' so that none but those concerned were
present. After the evidence had been taken the Court,
according to custom, adjourned to consider their verdict in
private. Ultimately they found Captain Dreyfus guilty, and he
was sentenced to be publicly expelled from the army and
imprisoned for life. Not till after his conviction was he
allowed to communicate with his wife and family. The sentence
has been carried out with the utmost rigour. Captain Dreyfus
was transported to the Isle du Diable [off the coast of French
Guiana], where he lives in solitary confinement. … The
Court-martial having been held within closed doors, the public
at large knew nothing … beyond the fact that Captain Dreyfus
had been convicted of betraying military secrets to a foreign
Power, and they had no suspicion that there had been any
irregularity at the Court-martial or that the verdict was a
mistaken one. … For two years the Dreyfus question may be said
to have slumbered. In the course of this time Colonel
Sandherr, who died in January, 1897, had been compelled to
retire from ill-health, and Commandant Picquart became head of
the Intelligence Department. … In May, 1896, there were
brought to the Intelligence Department of the War Office some
more sweepings from Colonel von Schwarzkoppen's waste-paper
basket by the same Alsatian porter who had brought the
bordereau. These were put by Commandant Henry into a packet,
and given by him (according to the usual custom) to Commandant
Picquart. Commandant Picquart swears that amongst these were
about 60 small pieces of paper. These (also according to
custom) he gave to Commandant Lauth to piece together. When
pieced together they were found to constitute the document
which is known by the name of 'Petit bleu, à carte télégramme'
for transmission through the Post-office, but which had never
been posted. It was addressed to Commandant Esterhazy, and ran
as follows:
"On September 15 of the same year, 1896, took place the first
explosion. This solely concerned the Dreyfus trial. On that
day the 'Éclair,' an anti-Semite newspaper, published an
article headed 'Le Traitre,' in which they stated that at the
Court-martial the 'pièce d'accusation' on which Captain
Dreyfus was tried was the bordereau; but that after the Court
had retired to the 'chamber of deliberation,' there was
communicated to them from the War Office, in the absence of
the prisoner and his counsel, a document purporting to be
addressed by the German military attaché to his colleague at
the Italian Embassy in Paris, and ending with a postscript,
'Cet animal de Dreyfus devient trop exigcant'; further, that
this document was the only one in which appeared the name
Dreyfus. This at once had removed all doubts from the minds of
the Court-martial, who thereupon had unanimously brought the
prisoner in guilty; and the 'Eclair' called upon the
Government to produce this document and thus satisfy the
public conscience. This document has, for sufficient reasons
hereinafter appearing, come to be known as 'le document
libérateur,' and by this name we will distinguish it.
{227}
As to the article in the 'Eclair,' it must have proceeded
either from a member of the Court-martial or from some one in
the War Office; but whether its contents were true is a matter
which to this day has not been fully cleared up. This much,
however, is known. We have the authority of Maître Demange
(Captain Dreyfus's advocate) that no such document was brought
before the Court-martial during the proceedings at which he
was present. On the other hand, it has now been admitted that
at the date of Captain Dreyfus's trial there was, and that
there had been for some months previously, in the archives of
the War Office a similar document, not in the Dreyfus'
dossier' proper, but in a secret dossier, only that the words
therein are not 'Cet animal de Dreyfus,' but 'Ce (sic)
canaille de D—' (initial only) 'devient trop exigeant.' … The
Government have never yet either admitted or denied that
General Mercier went down to the Court-martial and made to
them a secret communication. …
"We will now go back to Colonel Picquart. During the year 1897
he had become aware that in the Intelligence Department
suspicions were expressed that the 'petit-bleu' was not a
genuine document and insinuations made that Colonel Picquart
had forged it. … The ground on which this imputation was
rested came out clearly in the evidence which was given
subsequently in the Zola trial, to which reference may now be
made. The sweepings of Colonel von Schwarzkoppen's basket had
been brought by a spy to the Intelligence Department, and were
given first into the hands of Commandant Henry, who put them into
a packet or 'cornet' and passed them on to Colonel Picquart to
examine. Colonel Picquart swore that on examination he had
found amongst the papers a large number of fragments, fifty or
sixty. These he gave to Commandant Lauth to piece together and
photograph. When pieced together they were found to constitute
the 'petit-bleu' addressed to Commandant Esterhazy, who at
that time was a perfect stranger to Colonel Picquart. At the
Zola trial Colonel Henry had sworn that the pieces were not in
the 'cornet' when he gave it, to Colonel Picquart, and the
insinuation was that Colonel Picquart had forged the document,
torn it in pieces, and put the pieces into the 'cornet.' …
Commandant Esterhazy was acquitted by the Court-martial, and
on the very next day Colonel Picquart was himself summoned to
submit to a military inquiry. The Court-martial sat with
closed doors, so that neither the charges nor the proceedings
nor the findings would be known to the public, but the
findings have found their way into the newspapers. [Picquart,
cleared himself on the main charges.] … But as to the charge
(which had never been disputed) that in 1897 Colonel Picquart
had communicated General Gonse's letters to M. Leblois, this
the Court found to be proved; and for this military offence
Colonel Picquart was removed from the army upon a pension of a
little more than 2,000f., or £80, per annum. Other
chastisements have followed. …
