OPINIONS

by the International society a few years
ago. The manner and extent OF tne
achievement. however. have not parallel

making age. n selecting Mr.. Charles Dudley
Warner for editor of this work the publish
ers gave the best possible guaranty that
IL would be worthy Of its name. and this
assurance was strengthened by securing
as his assistants and advisers the most
eminent professors Of literature IN the uni
versities OF America. In two years these
editors, assisted by many other eminent
scholars and specialists and backed by
abundant capital. have produced work
in thirty volumes of about 700 pages each
l. IS not extravagant to call this IL
brary,' for it IS one, and its completeness
is something surprising considering the
vast field which II attempts 10 cover. The
work is not merely a cyclopaedia Of the
literature Of all ages. giving more or less
elaborate reviews OF thousands OF books
but II is a dictionary OF authors, giving
biographical sketches and fine portraits Of
many hundreds OF great authors. while
thousands more arc given sufficient space
for a biographical sketch Of appropriate
length. The whole work is arranged alpha
betically. so as 10 he of ready reference

by thousands OF pictures in all the art OF

Plot Begins TO Thicken.

Lieutenant Colonel George Picquart was
appointed the head of the intelligence bu-
reau in 1896 He was loyal Frenchman,
an honest man, and stanch friend OF the
army. He believed that Dreyfus was
guilty. and when, therefore, proof to the
contrary fell into his hands he was nat
orally horror stricken. This evidence was
in the shape OF little postal card ad-
dressed to Commandant Esterhazy at his
text of the card read:
Above all. await a more detailed
explanation than the one you gave me

The handwriting was that Of Colonel Won

Without mere than a vague suspicion OF
the truth Picquart obtained spacinnng ~

the niles OF the department. When he came
10 the famous bJrdereau he quickly saw
tlaI the Two were precisely the game
hsterhazy had written the document that
led 10 the conviction Of Dreyfus.
Pcquart acquainted Generals Bolsdeflre
ana Gouse with his discovery and was told
to go further. But on November 49, 1886
months after the discovery, he was re-
moved from his post and sent to Tunis.
u was evident that his super!ors had no
desire to find out the truth of the Drew
fus case.

army, and man who knew the truth
would DO safer there than in Paris.
But providence seemed determined IN
bring matters to the light of day. In
