Léonce Détroyat, managing political director and Jehan Valter, editorial secretary. News of the day: The Commune utters its last cry at the Hôtel de Ville; The Red Spectre; The Criminals of Lèse-liberté; The Day of May 23rd: Félix Pyat and Paschal Grousset in Belgium; The Barbarians; The Day of May 24th: the Tuileries on fire, Émile de Girardin's house surrounded, the Federates take refuge at Les Halles; Our correspondences: Alsatian subscription in favor of Gambetta; Last hour: Fort Montrouge in the army's power; the Police Prefecture set on fire; Supplements: Analytical reports of the sessions of May 25th and 26th of the National Assembly, vacant seats in the National Assembly; the insurrection in Kabylia (continued and end). Small marginal tears not affecting the text, otherwise in good condition. Adding to existing titles, more than 70 newspapers were created during the 70 days of the Commune. But press freedom was restricted from April 18th, and on May 18th the Committee of Public Safety banned newspapers favorable to the Thiers government. The most influential newspapers then were 'Le Cri du Peuple' by Jules Vallès, 'Le Mot d'ordre' by Henri Rochefort, 'L'Affranchi' by Paschal Grousset, 'Le Père Duchesne' by Versmersch, 'La Sociale' with Madame André Léo, 'Le vengeur' by Félix Pyat, 'La Commune'. It was especially in May that the struggle against the pro-Versailles press gained vigor: thus, between May 5th and 18th, 21 newspapers were suppressed. It is quite evident that the pro-Communard Parisian press could not be distributed in the provinces due to the vigilance of the Thiers government.
