Expressions OF Admiration and Praise 70
the Work Of The Star

| COULD NOT suRPAss IT.
Said Gen. H. v. Boynton, tho veteran Journal
list: 81 do not see how The STAR can ever have
an opportunity to surpass its Grand Army pa
rade edition. That issue, presenting. a. it did,
every feature of that wonderful column. both
! In text and in accurate illustra-
tons, cannot be outmatched. No event
! OF war can afford an opportunity for more
interesting work. and no occasion Of peaceful
years can supply so great subject. Like all
the york which Washington did-and it was all
the work Of Washington and not Of the nation
the efforts of The STAR were planned on the
largest scale and executed as planned"
THE BEST woRK he EVER SAW
Mr.. D. R. Mckee, agent Of theAssociated Press,
said: II know tina. no other encampment was
ever covered as The STAR covered this one In
fact never Jaw in any paper anywhere better
work throughout than TIE STAR has done this
week"
THE NEWS FEATURE THE TRIUMPH
"What struck the practical newspaper side of
my nature" said A, J. Halford Of the United
Press, twas the remarkable fullness and accu-
racy Of the reports Of the daily proceedings
which THE STAR presented. Some Of the hap
penings did not take place until well on Ia
the afternoon, but The STAR captured them
and placed them before the public within the
oriefest possible period. This excellence,
graissworthy in itself, was by no means all Of
TIE STAR. In every one Of Its many pages was
evidence of the best brain work and tireless
energy, but to mo the news feature was the
triumph"
BEYOND ALL COMPETITION AND COMPARISON
". r. Bell Of the Pittsburg Leader and the
Louiville Post was especially pleased with. the
war chapters and the Illustrations "If any one
wants a comprehensive idea Of the war;" said
he. 'let him or her purchase q file Of The
STAR for this week. l have read every
word Of the many special articles as they we're
printed from day to day and am grateful for
the valuable information which was so
pleasantly impaired. There must have been
Q tremendous expenditure of energy In the
collection Of SO much that to me was novel
The combination Of "reminiscences and news
finely illustrated-presented in this weeks STAR
Is above and beyond all competition or COM
parison."
RELIED ON THE STAR.
Smith D. Fry was remarkably frank: II
represent nine daily newspapers" said he. land
not one of them would have received proper
or adequate service had it not been
Tor the activity, energy and accuracy Of
HE STARS corps Of reporters. The work done
was marvellous alike for its quantity and quality
l can pay it no higher compliment than to say
that depended upon it,
AN IDEAL SOUVENIR.
'THE STAR was an ideal Grand Army SOU
venir, said Chas. C. Randolph of the New York
Times. "Not only did it print all the news Of
the sncampment, but it spiced the issues with
dashes Of the most interesting history-much Of
it new.
ITO me those sketches were the most at
tractive of the many features. So far as
know, no newspaper in any city ever did so
much good work on any special subject as The
STAR has done this week"
MAGNIFICENT PRODUCTION
1.-THE Grand Army STAR was a magnificent
production" said Manager P. V. De Graw Of
the United Press. Viewed from any stand
point it was success. 1t contained oil the
news and much special matter that was deeply
interesting. Its illustrations we're most su-
perior Journalism may well and properly be
proud of The STARS achievements.
MODEL PAPER.
Said E. NJ. Hood Of the Associated Press:
he encampment edition Of THE STAR should.
in my opinion, find q place in the library Of
every student Of history. Not only is it inter-
esting to the men who fought the nations bat
ties. but its special articles treating the cam
paigns of the rebellion contain much matter
valuable to the historian which has never before
been SO attractively presented. The STAR was
q model paper.
MARVEL OF THoRoUaHNEss AND ACCURACY.
Newspaper men in harness can appreciate
the work Of others" said John Boyle Of the
United Press. GAS one l regard the work done
on The STAR during the present week as q
marvel Of thoroughness and accuracy"
NEVER BEEN ExcELLRD.
J. s. Van Antwerp Of the Minneapolis Jour
nal and Denver Times said: 1.-THE Grand Army
STARS we're wonderful productions. They have
never been excelled. The record they made
will remain unbroken for long WHILE"
SPLENDID NEWSPAPER.
"TH1 EVENING STAR" said H. B. F. Mac
farland Of the Boston Herald and Philadelphia
Record and president Of the Gridiron Club,
has done itself infinite credit by its Grand
Army encampment edition. We Of Wash
ington know by experience the capabil-
tiles Of TEE STAR to handle any event
in the best possible way, but it must have been
a surprise to visitors from afar. who have so
much to learn Of Washington, to find metro
politan evening newspaper hero at the cap
ital have on every hand heard most
complimentary illusions to The Stars news
reports and pictures. Its special articles were,
know, In many instances preserved and made
portions Of ibrar;es The STAR is to be con-
work, but also on the business results,
which must have been gratifying to it. No ono
could have been otherwise-than pleased with
the issues. The STAR is splendid newspaper"
THE YLooD-rrpE MARX OF HIaH-aRApE WORK,
"Great is The STAR" said Max F. johnson
Of tho Philadelphia NORTH American, land
especial great is the Grand Army SrAa To
name its many excellent features would be SIM
ply to repeat the titles Of every chapter II
reached the food-tide mark OF high-grade news
paper work"
CANNOT BE COMMENDED TOO HIoHLY.
Henry E. Eland Of the Rochester Union and
Advertiser said, "THx STAR cannot be COM
mended too highly for its Grand Army num-
bers. Only q newspaper man can comprehend
the immense amount Of toll necessary to pro-
duce such popers."
BEYOND CRrTrcIsM.
''Severai friends in the west sent to me asking
for some souvenir Of the Grand Army encamp-
ment, said Chas. T. Thompson Of the Chicago
Ne1os Record. land I have forwarded
them files Of TIE STAn for this week
nothing could give them such true idea Of the
great event as The STAR does In every way
the work Of TIE STAB has been beyond
criticisrn."
