ENORMOUS EXPENSE ENTAlLED IN THE
GETTING OF WAR NEWS.

In sharp contrast TO the moving picture men.
both as TO purpose and methods are the regular
war correspondents and illustrators. In the first
place. the film companies have their representa-
tives in the field purely a money making prop
osition. Such is not the with the newspapers.
Since the outbreak Of the war the New York
papers have been under tremendous expense fo-
cable tolls and for the expenses ln the field o.
their numerous foreign representatives.. Few per
sons realize how very large an increase this cause
boo each newspapers expenses. At the same time
advertising has been affected by the fear of hard
times. Thus, there is a decreased revenue and au
increased expense. The only immediate result is
that larger number OF papers sold, but ass
all one-cent newspapers lose money on their
circulation increase does good unless IL s Of

The attitude Of the officials toward the cor
respondents is hardly surprising. In times Of

The third class OF men who helping 20

probably be of less Importance than in most

been an important factor in covering hostillties

London weeklies. Since the perfection Of pho

How long the war will last is matter OF
much anxious speculation. but one thing Is as
sured it will be reported in this country with
an astonishing completeness by writer. photos-

Pope Gregory laid down the fifteen laws of

not be cut up with curtains partitions. 1t must
be carefully closed on every side Since the six

Pope Gregory permitted only one small open

means that he gets reasonable salary, unless he

which ease 1t may really be big.
BY grouping the correspondents with the diff
ferent army divisions of the contendiug countries
an effort is being made to obtain news from all
quarters but so far the plan has met with com
paratiyely little success. The French and Belgian
authorities allow the writer's a certain amount of
freedom, but the strctest censorship is exercised
over the messages sent, and the military OIL

decisions have TO be accepted Some freedom is
allowed in sending dispatches concerning German
losses, but any revcrses sustained by the allied
forces are toned down suppressed entirely
while an attempt TO express any critical opinion of
the military operations would result in instant
banishment from the scene Of activities.

CHARACTER OF ELECTIONS N THE EARLY
DAYS OF THE CHURCH.

These and all the other restrictions Of which
there are legion surrounding the selection of this
great ecclesiastical officer have accumulated IN
the Church's constitution the result Of ages OF
experience. In the very early days of the Church
the Roman clergy and the people and the neigh
boring bishops took part in the election. 1t be
came a matter of reclamation. and lent itself to
all sorts Of abuses. vena and political. resulting
/. Quarrels more or less sanguinary, and schisms.
Sohisms led to the necessity of civil support, so
that. first the Ostrogothic Court of Ravenna and.
later, the descendants of Charlemagne claimed the
right of confirmation in the selection Of Pope
Still later the several factions of barous in
Rome landed This right or privilege about and
then the Holy Roman Emperor took 1t over.
Finally, in 1863. reforms were promulgated which
restricted the right of voting for the Pope to the
Cardinals. making the consent of the rest Of the
clergy and of the people mere formality. IL

was done away with.
But IT found that a small body Of electors
was likely TO indulge in petty politics and mad

CEREMONIES FOLLOWING THE ELECTION

cast the Cardina-Deacon teller announces the

ne does, all the canopies the Cardinals seats
are taken down with the exception Of that over his
seat.
The Cardnal-Dean then asks the Pope whs
name he will take. Having announced his choice
two Cardinal Deacons lead him behind the high

He then seats himself before the altar and re
