ago. In the mechanical departments, where Union
labor is employed and the scale of wages has sub
stantlay uniform basis the voluntary increases have
not been less than Is per cent in any division.
In one sense the extraordinary growth of The
Times in circulation is not extraordinary. Never be-
fore has newspaper in a city of less than half
million people drawn so heavily upon the recognized
talent of the country for daily and Sunday features.
Regular writers for The Times include Ella Wheeler
Wilcox. Dr. H. W. Wiley, WV. Byars, Mrs. Wilson
Woodrow, Beatrice Fairfax, Elizabeth Jordan, Earl
Goodwin, Winifred Black Artists whose work ap-
pears regularly include McCutcheon, Goldberg Nell
Brinkley, Powers, Briggs, Knott, Tad, Fox, Orr.
And all these in addition to the Brisbane Editorials
and To-day" column, and a worldwide news
service that has no superior.
Characteristic of The Times policy of continual
betterment is the recent addition to the Sunday
issue of full newspaper size magazine section
printed in four coors and this big newspaper is sold
for three cents. Artists of the standing of Howard
Chandler ChriSty are painting its covers.
Abreast of the first milestone The Times looks
back with some satisfaction and looks ahead to still
greater possibilities.

The First Milestone

ME WASHINGTON TIMES has come to the
milestone which marks the first anniversary
under the editorship and ownership of Arthur Bris
bane. 1t has been busy twelve months with
record of newspaper achievement probably I'M
paraIeled.
So far as the development of newspaper can
be told in figures it is measured in the records of Cir
culation and advertising increase.
The daily net paid circulation of The Times
has more than doubled in the year. Meantime the
price of the paper, compelled by mounting costs of
production, has been raised from one to two cents.
Advertising gains are no less notable. The au-
thoritative statistical department of the New York
Evening Post has placed The Times as the leader
of all the papers in the United States in advertising
gains in January, February; March and April of this
year. april is the most recent month for which
figures are availabe.) Up to this time in 1918 the
advertising gains have been at the rate of more than
three million lines year.
The Times has become profitable newspaper.
With greatly increased revenue, however, have gone
greatly increased expenditures. 1t is reason for keen
satisfaction that it has been possible to pay to the
men Of all departments that combine 20 make The
Times much higher wages and salaries than year

PRESIDENT WILL
REFUTE CHARGES
CONTINUED from page one1

Meanwhile, there was general
impression everywhere today that
the developments Of the last week
starting with Senator Chamberlain's
speech in New York last Saturday,
followed by the Presidents personal
attack upon his statements, and by
the dramatic speech yesterday, have
cleared the air. The public is certain
TO be the gamer by the result. There
Will be less unnecessary secrecy in
the future. Certain facts, known to
the newspapers. but withheld be-
cause of the acceptance of the CEN
sorship plans, now will be made pub
lic with official sanction.
Much to be Proud OF.
There IS very much to be proud of
inlthe conduct of the war. There are
STORIES of the performance Of the
naEy, thrilling accounts of death
faced in dozen forms with a smiling
face. and Of successes that were well
worth having, that win cause all
American bosorns to swell with pride
when the facts can be revealed.
There win be stories Of army work
that will show that the troops of 1917
Is are of the same calibre as those
who have carried the flag to the
front everywhere. And this will now
be revealed, if the plans under dis
cussion are carried through. Most Of
the facts recited by Senator Cham
berlain yesterday are true. But off.
eials close to the administration
pointed out that at least the majority
Of them resulted from circumstances
over which the administration had no
control.
