ACCURACY IN NEWSPAPERS

Professor Hugo Munsterbery is a
professor of psychology at Harvard.
His head is filled with ideas, and he
knows many things. But some things
he doesn't know. For instance, he
has been taking a fling recently at
newspaper reporters who, he says,
habitually distort what men say and
do, and the professor regards this as
a pad thing for public morals. Evil
IDENTIFY the professors experience has
been with the metropolitan news
paper On these newspapers a vast
quantity of news must be gathered
in an extraordinarily short time
Accuracy is aimed at and attained to
a remarkable degree. But the met
ropolitan press is but very small
part of the country's press. Profess
sor Miinsterberg is provincial, like
many ether jewellers in Eastern
cities. In the small towns the peo-
pie are close to their newspaper.
Frequently the editor knows every
body in the county. Accuracy be-
comes a deadly necessity. No re-
porter or editor who is worthy the
name dares say he does not care
whether what he writes is true or
not. His profession and his pride
in it demand that he give to it the
best he has in him. Accuracy, atten-
ton to detail, truth are only some
of The things he must give to
his paper. Professor Munsterberg
may be a great psychologist, but he
will never be great man until he
learns that outside of Harvard, Bos-

DETAILS OF TORPEDOING

Melbourne, Australia, Nov. Is
An absolute censorship upon the
subject having just been lifted, the
Australian public is now for the first
the t0rpedoing of the transport
Southland (which was formerly the
Red Star Lines Vaderland) in the
Aegean Sea by a German submarine
while bound from Egypt to Lemnos
early in September. The Southland
had on board about LOO men most
ly Victorians. A small number of
New Zealand troops were also be-
ing carried by her. Colonel Linton
and staff of Victoria were on the YES
sci and his death was among the
80 odd due to the submarine attack.
He died of shock and exposure. Al
though the Southland was badly
damaged she kept afioat and was
worked to Mudros partly by the aid
of soldiers who had volunteered to
assist the stokers.
Following is copy of special
order of the day issued by General
Headquarters regarding the torpe-
doing of the Southland:
"The Commander-in-C Chief publish

rine attack on H. M. S. Southland
without any comment, except his
compliments to the volunteer stok-
ers. The facts. he feels, are best

Battalion. Australian Imperial
orces, were just about to parade.
They fell in just as for ordinary drill,
and awaited for orders to be passed
from the boat decks for the required
numbers to be sent up, without any
isgn of anxiety to get an early place.
A large number of the troops had to
stand for nearly two hours on the
enclosed promenade deck of what
during the first 30 or 40 minutes was
believed to be a sinking ship. The
first boats on the davits were low
cred quihkly and successfully, but a
considerable delay took before the
boats on board could be got to the
davits and lowered, with the assis-
lance of the troops. Two boat-loads
with Colonel Linton and six of the
Infantry Brigade Staff, were cap
,sized, in spite of all precautions.
Private Smith of c. Company

by diving from the deck to prevent
a patent raft from drifting away"

THE KINGDOM OF GREECE

Greece has figured large in the
thousand years-in science, in liter
allure, in art, in religion, in philo-
sophy, in oratory, in poetry, in trade
and in war. No other small country
has siven so many great names to
the realm of Thought and action.
At one time the Greek merchants
ranked the highest of any on the,
globe. The grain trade of Russia
was controlled by them.
Prior to the outbreak of the two
recent Balkan wars in which Greece
took part, the second one ending in
August, 913, the area OF the Helle-
mic kingdom was about 25,01O
square miles, with an estimated
population of 100000.
The territory acquired, as result
of the wars, added 1880 square
! miles to its area, and 900 to
its population. Its present area is
close to 44,7O0 square miles--slight-
{ ly Larger than the state of Virginia
with population of approximate
ly 100000.
In the recently acquired territory
are nine cities with a population of
more than u 600 each, Saloniki
/ leading, according to the census of
1907. with $4,000 Inhabitants,
whi,I. total has been considerably
increased, our consul general at
Athens reports. by refugees from
Bulgaria and Turkey following the
wars.
In old Greece there are fifteen
cities with more than 10000 popu
lation each Athens and its sister
city and port Piraeus, from the pc
litical and commercial metropolis o

estimated population of 275,000.

The Meters Record.

A representative of the gas depart
ment called on householder and in
timated that he was afraid something
was wrong with the meter From the
official point of view, of course, meters
can only show one fault, and the symp-
tom which had cast suspicion on this
meter was that it had registered less
during the quarter than in the corre-
spending part of the previous year
But the lady of the house has con-
vincing explanation of the decline.
You see," she said, my daughter
was engaged last winter. She got
married in June"
The official, who was evidently a
parent himself, was quite satisfied,
and the meter left the court without
a stain upon it's high character.

Barnum's Frankness.

On one occasion .Barnum had an
elephant engaged in plowing on the
sloping hill where it could plainly be
seen by the passengers on the New
Haven and Hartford railroad. an agri-
cultural innovation that he knew
would get notice of some sort in every
newspaper in the country.
1t was even said that he received
letters from farmers far and wide
asking how much hay one elephant
ate, and if it were more probable to
plow with an elephant than with
horses or oxen
His replies were invariably frank,
and were of this purport:
If you have a large museum in
New York, and great railway COM
pany sends trains full of passengers
within eyeshot of the performance, it
will pay, and pay well; but if you
have no such institution, then horses
or oxen will rrove more economical" !"
