Here is an interesting sidelight on
the history of submarine war as out
lined in a. public statement by Sir
Henry Newbolt; The evolution OF the
submarine weapon has been much
simpler and more regular than that
of the vessel which was to use 1t; but
it has been equally wonderful, and the
history of it is equally Instructive.
Briefly. the French. in this depart
ment, as in the other, have shown the
most imaginative enthusiasm, the
Americans the greatest determination
t. achieve results even with crude or
dangerous means, while the English
have to their credit both the earliest
attempts in actual war and the final
achievement of the automobile tor
pedo. OF the Germans, as before, we
must record that they have contrib
uted nothing of any scientific value.

THE NEW NEWSPAPER.

Necessity, due to the paper shortage
and government order, has created for
the newspaper reading public of the
United States a new state of affairs:
smaller newspapers, less reading mat
ter and fewer so-called features for
the entertainment of readers.
The newspapers must show a de-
crease in a six months period of S
per cent white paper consumption.
This does not mean less news-far
from that. 1t means the same amount
of real current news in less space. 1t
means shorter "storfes," snappier writ
ing, more direct and blunt style. and
a general brevity in the treatment of
news.
WELL" the public will say. ''why
ahead with your condensation of
news!"
But the public must help. Right
here in Topeka the readers of the
newspapers published in this city must
cooperate with the editorial stats in
handling news.
In the first place the newspaper
readers of Topeka never have learned
what 1t means to the newspapers to
handle their "non-essential' items. A
meeting of a church society. session
of a club, a notice of an organization
| conference-items OF this kind come
pouring into the editors desk and over
the telephone daily.
| Items of this kind must. to a great
extent. be eliminated. Churches,
| lodges. societies, clubs-all have their
secretaries and their means of COM
| munication and notification. The
general public-the majority of the
| newspaper readers-should not have
their reading of wide interest stinted
by the space it requires to accommo-
date items Of only localized concern.
In the past these news-notices have
been printed with pleasure by the edi-
tors. They felt it their duty and their
privilege to be of service to these or
| CARNATIONS. But war emergencies
have brought great changes in all
walks of life, and the newspapers have
been affected.
The State Journal promises its read
ers Just as much news as ever before
Nothing of any consequence will be
eliminated thru the reduction of space
and pages, On the other hand, the
news will be more valuable In that il
will give the reader a wider variety OF
material in a condensed form and in &
manner more easily and quickly read
| The State Journal receives two full
leased wire telegraph services-tht
only newspaper in Kansas with suct
an extensive array of outside news
This paper could not afford to deprive
its readers of the information of ma
tional and international Importance
To maintain the standard of news o
this character, there must be radica
reduction in inconsequential materia
within the city. Topeka is larg'
enough to Withstand reduction il
provincial news items.
This paper will continue to carr!
the better classof features used in tn,
past. Features of this kind are du
the public. There must be a certain
amount of entertainment, of levity, o

, ment. Readers will not miss thes

, toward the successful termination o
the war-a sacrifice that everyon
undergoes with pleasure and de
termination.
