NEWS PIRATES FEASTED
ON THE UNITED PRESS
GERMAN RAIDER STORY
Exclusive Gables frOm South America
Gave First News of Great Com.
merce Destruction.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-News pi-
rates feasted last week on the exclu-
sive United Press cables from South
America, which gave the first news
of the German commerce raider.
1t was not merely a one day orgy
for the pirates; it was literally four
day feast. The United Press not only
gave the world the first news. but It
gave the first details and continued
to lead all other agencies In covering
the story by such a wide margin that
there was no competition except
from the pirates.
Hearst's International News Serv-
ice lifted" and "rewrote" United
Press cables in such detail that iden-
tification was obvious. But to clneh
the proof the United Press on We'd
nesday carried the name of the
steamer Yarrowdale as "Yanon dale ="
1t promptly appeared as "Yanondale'
in the International News Service,
Hearst's New York Evening Journal
simply lifted United Press cable stories
without taking the trouble to rewrite
| In one instance the journal serenelv
1 lifted a purposey placed typograph-
ical error from the New York Even

Press service. The mails have
brought to the United Press general
! offices in New York from United
Press clients numerous copies OF
Hearst papers and international
News clients containing alleged cables
! containing proof that they were simp'
/ ly lifted from the United Press.
The New York Globe a member o

lifted bodily a United Press cable
story, without credit, and carried \
through practically all editions after
being scooped by the United Pres

The Boston Globe. another Assn

United Press cables. These are onl'
a few instances. Investigation by tn,
