EFFECT or THE WAR ON THE
NEWSPAPER BUSINESS.

Quite number of people have said
to US. 4 suppose the var is booming
the business Of the newspapers So
general does this impression seem 70
be that little information on the sub
jet may be interesting
The basis for the impression re-
ferred to Is the idea that war makes
big news which everybody wants to
read and consequently newspaper
sales are increased II should be un-
derstood, however. that the sale OF
newspapers constitutes only a very
small part OF the business Of the news
paper publishers. The fact is that IN
many instances the amount received
from this source does not cover the
cost of the paper itself and the ex-
Dense Of distributing It. But even e
there should be small profit in the
sale Of papers. It IN more than cOun-
tertaIanced BY the extra cost which
the publishers are compelled to meet
as result Of the war.
In the first place. the price Of paper
has been considerably advanced and
IN addition to that. the cost Of news
that comes over the wires has been
increased The news gathering agen-
cies. OF which the United Press asso.
citation that furnishes daily dispatches
10 the Express is one. have been fore
Ell to send many extra men 10 the field
or war. For example. Mr.. w o. shep-
herd, who has been writing from
France. was formerly stationed In
Mexico, and Alice Robe, whose inter
esting article Oh conditions in Vienna
we printed yesterday. was doing
work for the United Press in the
United States. These and many other
special correspondents have been sent
to Europe in the effort to get all the
news possible concerning the gigantic
conflict All OF this entails heavy ex-
pense and every newspaper receiving
news by telegraph must pay its proper
tional part of the increased cost Of
the service. We are paying more for
telegraph news service today than
we have ever paid.
But the most important point re-
mains to be noted. A newspapers
business consists in the main OF adj
yertising and anything which affects
the mercantile business in general has
corresponding effect upon the busi-
ness Of the newspaper. 1t is readily
seen, therefore. that anything which
causes general business depression
is far from being a boon to newspa-
pers.
