ASSOCIATED PRESS. MAKES GREAT GAINS IN ITS MEMBERSHIP

The increase in membership of the Associated Press in 1917 represents more than the combined increase in the preceding nine years. At present there are 636 evening newspapers, 391 morning newspapers and 51 Sun day morning newspapers, or total of 1,088, receiving the service of the Associated Press. These newspapers, the smallest of which receives a 5OO- ! word daily telegraph service, to the largest, which receives upwards of 5O,000 words daily, show a net in- crease in membership in the Asso- ciated Press in the year 1917 of 40, of which 96 are evening, 34 morning, and nine Sunday newspapers. In 1917 there was a great expan- sion in the Morse leased wire service of the Associated Press, more than 2,000 additional miles of wire being added, making the leased wire sys- tenn of the organization over 53,00O miles in length. and more than twice the mileage of all other press asscia- tions combined.
 1k0c6lNlHS tue T0pOEI O1 lA6SC ISeio- | ed wires, which would stretch more than twice around the world, are 308 evening newspapers 269 morning newspapers and 48 Sunday morning 1 newspapers.
 While there was a rapid extension 1 of the leased-wire service, the in crease in the number of papers re- i ceiving the Associated Press pony ser vices, or services smaller than the Morse leased wire, was still greater, showing a growth of ST over that of the preceding year.
 With the extension of the Morse service, it was necessary to employ additional Morse operators. The number of Morse operators employed by the Associated Press at present, to CODY the report which costs more than s3,500 900 to collect and distri- bute, is 66O, representing an increase of, 59 over the number employed for the preceding yeat
 This body of operators, who have to be the most expert of their kind in the telegraph business, and who copy the report in every stGte in the Union with a single exception, is greater than the combined operating force of all the other press associations of the world.
 Nearly one hundred Associated Press operators have gone into mili- tary and naval service during the past year, and 200 others are voluntarily teaching National Army recruits.
 News department men have also joined the colors to such an extent that there are almost 200 stars in the Associated Press service flag. The or ganization has claimed no exemp- tions and has encouraged rather thar discouraged governmental service or the part of it's staff.
 During 1917 the sick benefit fund took care of all operators who were i'll and the directors at Christmas an
 nounced that the organization would insure the lives of all employees in the
 amount of s1,000 for the benefit ct
 their heirs or dependents. The Bridgeport Times has the As,
 sociated Press service.

BOSTON SEES RAY
 OF HOPE IN, COAL FAMINE SITUATION

Boston, Feb. 2.-Prospects that large shipments of coal, delayed for nearly week by ice and weather conditions, would reach this city and other parts of New England today, gave a more hopeful appearance to the fuel situa- ton. The supply, seriously depleted during the last few days when only small amounts arrived, left much to be desired, but fuel administration of dcials expressed the belief that early next week the situation would be so much relieved that most of the clos ing restrictions could be retracted and business be resumed in normal man. ner

STRIKES IN GERMANY

N OST OF THE from Germany and Austria bears WI London London would not forward the facts unless fairly well convinced that the phenomena described taking place.
 The idea entertained in circles that there is dis satisfaction among the Austrian and German working classes and that the coming out of Germany camouae upon full and sound consideration of the cir cumstances.
 The Russian revolution is standing to the poti- cal institutions the Central powers and will ultimately troy hem not by force of but by the progress of like principles the minds of the German and Austrian working classes.

GERMANS DEFEAT REPATRIATION OF
 POLISH SOLDIERS

Petrograd, Feb. 2.-About 40,000 Pol ish troops in the Russian army who have maintained their units intact in the face of the Bolshevik reorganiza- tion measures and who had expressed a desire 10 return from Russia to Po- land, have been stopped by a German objection to the plan. Germany has absolutely refused to permit their re- patriation.
 Members of the Bolshevik peace delegation in Brest-Litovsk have been refused permission by Dr. Won Kuehl- mann, head of the German delegation to visit Warsaw. Dr. Won Kuehl- mann, however, allowed a member of the Uqrainian rada who had partici- pated in the peace negotiations to go to the Polish capital.
