He also wrote under the pseudonyms Fritz von der Kyrburg and Fritz Wernthal. He became famous in 1903 with the military critical novel "From a Small Garrison Town". The novel, in which Lieutenant Bilse targets the customs of the garrison and the Prussian-German military, became a scandalous success. Bilse's military background is of direct importance to the genesis of the book. Bilse usually did not develop a good relationship with his superiors or his comrades: "The thoughtful young man becomes a critic of the army. Instead of becoming a member of the officers' corps, he takes on the role of a distant observer. In his company commander he finds a fatherly friend with whom he can discuss ideas about reforming the army. But he openly denies his commander the respect and incurs a number of disciplinary punishments." During a temporary dismissal in 1902, the novel From a Small Garrison was also written. In November 1903 a court martial took place in Metz. Bilse was found guilty of insulting his superiors and other senior officers, dishonorable discharge from the army and sentenced to six months in prison. His novel should be "withdrawn from circulation, the printing blocks destroyed". The ban does not seem to have lasted, however, as the 150th thousand of the book appeared in Braunschweig as early as 1904. The disclosure of appalling grievances in the army was discussed in the Reichstag , and even the emperor reacted with a secret decree "to all commanding generals with the instruction to pay attention to conditions like Bilse described them in their associations and to deal with them with even greater zeal. To guard morale and discipline in their troops". Bilse had suddenly become famous: from then on he was considered the enfant terrible of the German army. The novel was highly traded abroad, initially in France. As early as 1904, an English translation appeared with a protocol of the trial in the appendix as well as an introduction and a foreword in which the German-American writer Theodore Dreiser praised Bilse as a great realist.
