NOTES ON PARTISAN PRESS
LIE PETIT JOURNAL HAS LARGEST
CIRCULATION.
No Associated Press in France-Editors
Always Color the News to Suit Their
own Views.

LONDON, May 2S.-Paris has more
daily newspapers than any other city
in the world and the most Of them are
of the yellow variety. In no other city
and no other country is the press so UNI
trustworthy and so corrupt. There is no
association in France corresponding to
The Associated Press of the United
States for the purpose of gathering
news. 1t would be very difficult for
such an institution to prosper or even
exist, because each editor insists upon
distorting the facts to suit his own
views, and hence he must depend upon
his own representa- ives.

is lie Petit Journal, edited by NJ Mar
inoni, small four-page paper publish
ed for the masses without political afii-
liation, made up of short kilograms and

The Paris newspapers have regular
subscription circulations, served by
carriers, but most of the copies are dis
posed of at booths placed at convenient
points upon the bouleVards and ave-
nues, large enough to accommodate one
person, who is usually a woman. There
are some newsboys, but they are COM
paratively few in number.
