A REMARKABLE WAR STORY
Frederick Palmer Now Witnessing
FuIflIment Of Prophecy Described
In 1.-THE Last Shot"

Frederick Palmer, the author Of the
remarkable story, THE Last Shot," Is
a typical cosmopolitan. He not only
knows war and the men who make
war. but he knows the world and has
been practically all over 1t.
Mr.. Palmer is native OF Pennsyi-
vania. born at Pleasantville In that
state in 1878. He was residing In Eng
land at the time the Grecian-Turk-
ish war of 1895 began and went to the
front as q correspondent. At the close
Of this war he went to the Klondike
an a correspondent. He was In the
Orient in 1898 when the war between
the United States and Spain began.
and was with Admiral Dewey at the
battle of Manila. reporting It for the
London Times and o number Of Amer
lean newspapers. He remained with
the American army In the PhilippipeA
throuehout the campaign aganst
ARuinaldo. When the international ex-
pedition for the rescue Of the foreign
residents in Picking was organised at
the time Of the Boxer uprising In
China he joined It in the capacity OF .
correspondent for his papers.
From 1900 to 1903 Mr.. Palmer saw
service in the Central and South
American and the. Macedonian insur-
rections. With the breaking out OF
war between Japan and Russia he
Joined the first Japanese army in the
field as the representative Of the Lon
don Times and Golfers Weekly. and
was almost the. only correspondent
who saw active service with the Jap
anese army. He was In Constants
NOBLE during the Turkish revolution
OF 1909. and was with the Bulgarian
army throughout the Balkan war OF
1928.
In addition to this active career as q
war correspondent, Mr.. Palmer has
circled the globe with Admiral Dewey
and again with the American battle
shin feet in 1908. He is familiar
with every capital of Europe, and has
a personal acquaintance with a very
large number of prominent European
government officials and military and
naval commanders.
Mr.. Palmer is now at the front re
porting the present war for the papers
he represents, and is witnessing the
fulflllment of the prophecy contained
in his notable story, "The Last Shot.
We have arranged to print Mr.. Pal
mer's remarkable story, THE Las'
Shot" serially in these columns.
Next week will appear the first
installment in the Reflector OF this
interesting and remarkable wal
story. Watch for it, and begin read
