LONDON, Aug. War correspond

clipped. Several reporters of London

the commencement of hostilities. but
their experiences were not desirable.

Owing to the enormous loss incurred
during the late Balkan war, newspa-

made to cover it in the usual way.

upon newspaper copy at Berlin.

pers that send their special correspond
