AGAIN ROMANTIC
Associated Press Tells How
Tidings From Jassy
Reached u. S.

London-The war has restored
some of the old-time romance to
the business of gathering from
places that Americans might regard
as the far ends of the world. When
the American settles down into his
easy chair at night and let's his eve
run casually down the column of his
favorite paper over the date-lines
of the far corners of the world he
does not always realize what an eff
fort it often cost to lay before him
the news OF these far places.
Take some of the Associated
Press DISPATCHES from Jassy. the
capital of Rumania, for an example.
Things were going pretty bad for
little Rumania last March. The
Bolsheviki had turned things topsy-
turvy in Russia and King Ferdi-
nand's country was left alone on the
eastern front to face the hordes of
Germany and Austria Rumania
was quarreling with the Bolsheviki
over the disposition of Russian
troops which had been on the Ru-
manian front. There were serious
possibilities for Rumania in the sit
uation.
There was an Associated Press cor
respondent in Jassy, but the only
way of getting news out was by the
way of Odessa. where the Bolsheviki
held sway. Con" r'"'unication with
Odessa was impossible and no trains
were running as bridges were de-
stroyed
The Rumanian government was
sending Colonel Joseph Boyle for
merly of the Canadian Army from
Jassy to Odessa in an airplane with
a peace treaty and when Colonel
Bowie flew 200 miles over the n1oun-
tains he carried not only the treaty
but dispatches from the Associated
Press correspondent for forwarding
to the United States.
That is how some of the news
started on it's way from Jassy.
through Russia, Finland and Sweden
to London and finally to America.
