GEN. PlcQUART, AGED 60,
DIES AT AMIENS, FRANCE
Was Commander Of Army Corps and
Prominent Figure in Drey-
fus Case.

AMIENs, France, January 19.-Gen.
Marie-Georges Picouart. commander Of
the I'd French Army Corps, who was
one Of the most prominent figures in
the Dreyfus case. died here today,
aged sixty years.
Gen. Picquart regarded as ono of the
most brilliant officers of the French
army, rose to high rank at very
early age. He was an Alsatian by birth.
His skill as q linguist, coupled with
his ability as soldier, led to his ap-
pointment to the general staff.
Discovers the Forgeries.
1t was while serving there that Pic
quart discovered the forgeries which
had brought about tho condemnation
Of Dreyfus to tho horrors of Devils
Island. Picquart thereupon became
one of the most enthusiastic appel
lants for a revision Of the judgment
on Dreyfus. His zeal in this respect
led to his arrest and Imprisonment on
various charges. which were, however,
dismissed for want of evidence. In
spite Of the courts decision in his
favor he was retired from the service
through the influence of anti-Dreyfus
officials.
During his retirement Picquart, aid
ed by Emile lola and others, contin-
ued his work in behalf of the man who
had been unjustly condemned. He
finally succeeded in having the case
brought before another court-martial
at Rennes. Dreyfus was again con-
victed by this court. but later secured
a full pardon from President Loubet.
Obtain Complete Vindication.
This pardon did not satisfy Picquart
and the other supporters Of Dreyfus.
who labored incessantly to have him
offlcially declared innocent. They
finally secured this verdict from the
French supreme court, and both Drey
fus and Picquart were restored to the
active list OF the French army. Gen.
Of war and commander of the I'd Army
Corps.

Secretary Garrison Maintains
Department Not Committed to
Principle of Paying Militia

Secretary Garrison has issued a state
ment in regard to proposed militia legis-
lation which was considered by militia
organizations and officers here last week,
making it plain that the War Department
is not committed to the principle of pay
ing the militia
He reiterated his statement to militia
officers that if the details Of a bill could
be agreed upon he would take the ques-
ton up with President Wilson and an
nounce conclusion, but emphasized the
fact that he has as yet reached no con-
clusion.
II have observed in all the statements
with respect to the proposed militia pay
bill which I have seen an Implication
which is unwarranted by the facts. I
would like the exact situation to be
known SO that those who discuss it may
do SO advisedly. The fact Is that 1 have
made it perfectly clear to every one con-
cerned that the administration is not
committed to the principle Of such pay.
Defines His Position.
II said that if the details of bill could
be agreed upon which contained all those
advantages to the federal government
which the advocates of the principle ar
gued would demonstrate the desira bility
and advisability of adopting the principle
Of militia pay I would then take the
matter up with the President and an
nounce conclusion thereon.
For the purpose Of having the subject
presented in its best possible shape the
suggested draft of the bill has received
the consideration of the judge advocate
general Of the army. the militia affairs
division, the general staff. including a
special study by the war college the ex-
ecutive committee of the National Guard
Association Of the United States. the ad-
jutants general of the states and the ma
tional militia board. In addition thereto
have sent copies to the respective chair
men of the military affairs committee Of
the Senate and House, asking their con-
sideration and suggestions.
when all this preliminary consideration
is completed and a finished product re-
suits l propose taking up the matter
with the President for the purpose of
reaching proper conclusion under all
the circumstances
