HOME NEWS WILL BE
SENT TO MEN IN FRANCE
Captured German Wireless
Plant Will Flash Items
to the Soldiers

NEW YORK, July 1S.-Arrangements
to distribute neighborhood news to all
of the American fighting forces abroad
have been perfected by the foreign press
cable service bureau OF the committee
on public information which is directed
by Walter s. Rogers.
This new feature. designed to give to
American soldiers such news as they
might expect to receive in letters from
their relatives and friends if the mails
could be depended upon, will be edited
by Herman Suter, who has had broad
experience as a newspaper publisher.
The service will be sent to France
and wherever American soldiers are
stationed every day by, one of the big
German wireless plants which has been
operated by the government since the
European war started and used extern
sively for American propaganda, in
GLIDING the world broadcasting of Pres
ident wilson's speeches during the flf-
teen months this Country has been at
war with Germany and its. allies. .z.
The wireless reports will be deliver
ed free of all tolls to military publica-
lions in France and where no newspa-
pers can be distributed bulletins will be
supplied to headquarters of the differ
ent units for posting on conveniently
will be copied also by the wireless
plants of American warships wherever
stationed. .-...
Press associations and newspapers
generally have agreed to cooperate with
the committee in making the service
success. The part played by the As
ISOLATED Press for instance will be
largely in the hands of the bureaus
scattered strategically throughout the
United States. .:s.-.- -s.s
Some one in each bureau called upon
by the committee will send brief teIe-
graphic dispatch to the committee in
New York either daily or two or three
times a week, according to the need,
giving merely the high spots of the
news local TO the territory covered by
such bureau
Each item will be just about what
would appear in the headlines of the
local papers 10 describe important D.al
events, such as nominations by politi-
cal parties, deaths of prominent citi-
zens of the different states, fires, we'd
dings of statewide interest and other
news of less than international or iia-
t1onal interest and therefore, certain
not to be cabled for publication in Eng
lish, French or Italian newspapers.
In this way it is hoped to give to the
soldiers from every state at least two
or three items of news from their home
state or city each week. The budget
necessarily will he limited, but sthe com.
Inittee believes that the efforts of all
those who periodically contribute to
the News service will be rewarded by
the knowledge that they have reduced
inconsistencies among the men who are
Offering their lives in the defense of
the country. -s ~ e..
