The speaker of the evening, Talcott Will
liams, the head of the Pulitzer school of Jour-
naists, was happily introduced by President
Alley. He received an enthusiastic greeting,
held the close attention of his audience
throughout his address and was heartily ap-
ptanded at its close. His subject was "The
Press and the Public" and we wish we could
print 1t in full, but give only the closing
paragraphs:

In the Manchurian campaign every

who got permission on the anniversary
of his wedding to telegraph to his wife.

fervor, 81 send you 100000 kisses,
and the dispatch went out with this
solemn annexation at the bottom,
with the sanction of the imperial
military authorities"
Again. in South Africa, the young
British soldiers used to wind up their
letters to their sweethearts at home
with a row of round marks like 20
doubtless meant to signify kisses
These innocent marks upset the mill

concealed a reasonable message In
code? Finally a more ordinarily nu'
man and intelligent censor hit upon
the expedient Of making q great many
more round marks after the others
That scotched the reasonable cipher
