Congratulations.

Since the close of the peace con-
ference the newspaper correspond
ents have been busy explaining to
their newspapers how correctly
they foreshadowed the result, and
the newspapers have been busy ex-
planning to their readers how
thoroughly they have been kept
informed of everything. So far as
our observation goes, after the
event each and every newspaper
and press association was the first
to correctly foreshadow and an
nounce the same.
But how is it that no newspaper
has as yet told its readers that their
reporter was 1.-The first to acquaint
President Roosevelt with the joyful
tidings?" We have always under
stood that this was part Of the re-
gular procedure. Why was it over
looked?
