The Sale of a Newspaper

Prichett president of the Carnegie Foundation. and Ellery Sedgewick. editor of the Atlantic Monthly. Rolo Ogden, who has had editorial charge Post for fifteen years will be continued. In his statement regarding the purchase Mir. Lamont appears have been moved by sentiment though he says that not the chief motive. His brother. the late Hammond Lamont was for many years the managing editor of the Post.
 The Post established IF years It has had a great influence public thought and some influence American literature of the early nno teenth century Among the names of American writers who been associated with it is that of'William Cullen Bryant How different the aims of the founder of the Post from those of the average newspaper of today is set forth the following quotation from the prospectus of the Post: .,.. ,..,,.,,..

 The Post probably reached the height of it's nuence under the able management of the late E. L. Godlkln Since his time it has been clean and respectable, rather than powerful journal. Since the since participation in the war. though its tendency to pacifism has not been entirely pressed it has been a constant supporter of the ad mnistration. It has especially opposed what it has been denounced mtarsm in America, and In that retained the views of President Wilson Z and Secretary Baker before the

Casualties in War

The casualty lists from France usually several names of those killed wounded and missing in the fierce days of the drive at Chateau Therry and later at Sossons in which the Americans took foremost part We do not know how many Americans were em- poXed in the operations the Marne salient but there probably not fewer than 250,000 that the casualties have not been heavy considering the fierceness of the fighting.
 The military and naval authorities of the gov ernment doing their best to redeem the promise of the government that the American people would be informed quickly possible, who dead, wounded and prisoners. It takes time to make up these lists accurately might be at all than to be lacking in accuracy
 Some newspapers have questioned the propriety necessity of printing these long lists of and it has been suggested that it would be sufficient to print those only within the regions covered by the cirCuations of the various newspapers.
 That, think is hardly sufficient. There is hardly community in the whole country in which there not residents who have friends and rea- lives in other communities in distant parts of the country That is especially of Phoenix and all western communities.
 To who has a brother or son or nephew in France there be nothing in all the news carried by the papers nearly vital as these lists and no doubt they scanned with anxiety in their entirety by practically every reader looking the name relative friend who may have gone from Port land, Me, Portland Ore.
