literature and as newspaper writer's.
But while trained men have been
stationed at every strategic point
throughout the war zon they have not
been able to break through the rigid
censorship established by the belliger-
ents. Practically the only information
that has been given to the world has
come through the Associated Press.
The success of the Associated Press
was made possible by the foresight Of
Mr.. Melville e. Stone, general manager
of the organization. Recognizing that
perhaps st. Petersburg would be the
most important point for news during
the war, Mr.. Stone early In the pres
emit year visited Russia and while
there had a personal audience with
the GEAR. At that time he succeeded
in assuring the czar that the Associat-
ed Press would be impartial in Its re-
ports in the event Of war and in re-
turn received the cars assurance that
the st. Petersburg bureau would be

through that country in 1901 he was
stopped at st. Petersburg and escorted
to the frontier.
Frederic Villiers, England's most ia
o war artist and correspondent,
Is with the Russian forces. He gained
his first experience in 1876 in Servia.
His next war, the Russo-T Turkish, not
only established his reputation as a cor
respondent, but particularly fitted him
for his present assignment, for he was
with the Russians at Pleyna and Ship
ka pass. Later he was at the lombard
ment of Alexandria and at Tel-el-Kebir.
Since then he has not missed a cam
paign of any consequence.

uninitiated these cable dispatches,
known in newspaper offices as 'skin"
cable, would be unreadable, but the
cable news expert reads them with
ease and fills in the omitted words.
The regulations of the Japanese gov
eminent in regard to messages are n
source of great annoyance to CORE
spondents and seriously interfere with
their work. In Japan all dispatches
for points beyond Tokyo must be filed
with the censor, properly translated
into Japanese. This necessitates that
each correspondent be attended by a
Japanese translator.

made the medium of transmitting off,
cial news Of the progress Of the war
from the Russian capital to America.
Contrary to the popular idea. the war
between Russia and japan is not vel
coined by the newspapers. More cop
les are sold, but the cost Of making
the newspaper Is vastly increased. A
newspaper to keep pace with its con-
te~mporaries and give all the news to
its readers must maintain a corps Of
high priced correspondents in the field,
40 well as keep in touch with the head
quarters of the ~contending armies. In
some cases syndicates are formed, but
most Of the big newspapers Of this
country have anywhere from three to
a dozen skilled writer's on their pay
rolls In eastern Asia.
The cost of cablegrams Is a still
heavier item of expense. For instance,
from Chefu to New York the cable
rate for press dispatches is AZ cents a
word, and the same rate is charged
from Tientsin and Shanghai. From
Port Arthur via the Pacific cable the
rate is $1.02 a word, and from Tokyo
Il costs "a cents a word to transmit a
press message. From Vladivostok and
Chemulpo no press rates are made,
and messages must be paid for In ad-
vance at the full rate. which is about
three times higher. The following incl
dent illustrates the expense Of cabling
war news:

IT IS A WINNER
When you desire to make a front
And on the goods are shy,
Yet feel that you must do the stunt
And catch the public eye,
Though you are busted worse than nat,
Shorn Of the needful stuff,
There's nothing like a tall silk hat
On which to hang a blum.
To talk Of turf or trade
And sift the rumors of the street.
Although your coat Is frayed,
Your hat will let you in the gam
Where nimbls dollars chink;
Some n may ask you please to name
The poison you will drink.
In closing up a mining deal,
In getting on the slate,
In making passionate appeal
For some rich candidate,
The hat will always help you out
The while you work your Jaw
And make the gentleman and lout
Believe your word is law.
In any circle that you move
And any way you turn
Your tall hat looms on high to prove
That you have cash to burn.
So II your wealth Is at an end
Take courage and stand pat.
For thirteen dollars touch some friend
And buy a new silk hat.

that, in spite Of an increasa of $685.,

part to ''greatly increased expense OF

:. AND M. Y. r. r. STATEMENT.

Elsewhere appears the twenty third
annual report of the Yazoo & Mississ-
ippi Valley Railroad Company to
President Stuyvesaut Fish. The state
ment is interesting and commends
itself to the thought of the people of
this section for reasons that have their
origin in conditions of local pride.
First, the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley
Rsil1o DAD is almost like Memphis in
stitution, because its general offices are
located here and its highest commiss-
toned directing officials, outside of
New York and Chicago, make their
homes in this city. Secondly,it is
the main artery through which the
commercial and industrial interests of
reach the marvelously productive delta
country and through the same artery
of commerce are the teeming products
of that territory poured into this city.
If for no other reason the increasing
unss fulness of the YazoO and Mississ-
ippI Valley railroad as part of the
Illinois Central system would appeal
to Memphians and the people OF the
great Mississippi valley The report
In question shows most satisfactory
cond ton of the property and points
uner ingly to wise and constructive
managerial policy
The gross receipts from traffic were
81, 1868, 344 and the expense of oper-
ation and taxes SIS, O95, 618 The ex-
cess of income was ST., 1927 and the
fixed charges 81, 197 658. the surplus
being $57S, 6l5. The income for the
past year from passenger traffic alone
amounted to ST., 78l ,047. an increase of
$240, 391. This fact not only indicates
gre atsr and wider circulation on the
part of the people of the territory
servedsby the road, but IT shows that
commercial and social intercourse be-
tween Memphis and that great terri
tory is augmenting with time and in
creased transportation facilities.
Pr sid4nt Stuyvesant Fish points to
this large increase of passenger traffic
receipts as a convincing evidence OF
the Irosperity in this territory In
fluenced by the operation of the va
zoo and Mississippi Valley railroad.
