MOST UNIQUE AND TASTY
NEWSPAPER IN THE WORLD

The official organ of the A. E. F.
was known as the Stars and Stripes.
Whoever has been fortunate enough
to get copies as they came once a
week from Paris knows that there
was never such newspaper on the
face of the earth.
The Stars and Stripes in one year
attained subscription list of $780,
600 and the readers had no stated
address. They had to be found
wherever they might be. They were
the men of the A. E. F. in France.
Four enlisted men were the auth
ors of this remarkable work, and
they worked up the ideas of Captain
Guy T. Viskniskki. All five were
newspaper men before the war.
They and their future assistants
hailed from the STATS of such papers
as the Hartford Times, the New York
Sun, the Springfield Republican, the
San Francisco Call, the New York
Times, the Portland Oregonian,
Leslie's, the Boston Herald and such.
They set out to express the pep and
cheer of the army, and in that line
they are real lend men," With news
and jokes they made the A e F..
conscious Of its own Individuality
they gave it a soul.
The first issue of Stars and Stripes
was to run 10000 copies, but went
short of that; was put out on Dor
rowed capital and borrowed paper.
At the end of one year, says the

thereby the perfect union which he so
ardently desired against all things un- |

Stars and Stripes of February Z,
printed On one of the most per-
fectly equipped plants in existence, it
ran over the half-million mark and
the onl treason it did not run over
the million mark is because enough
white paper for such q riot of cir
culation is simply not to be had"
Think of a paper of such a cir
culation that did not need advertis-
Ing. They accepted advertising be-
cause they knew it made the paper
look more like home to the boys,
but they never did accept all the ad-
vertising that was offered by eager
business houses.
1t was decided to print the truth,
and nothing but the truth, about
army affairs and happenings. Here
is its own confession:
THE Stars and Stripes had and
has but one purpose-to give the
army voice and thereby to stimu-
late the morale of the American
Expeditionary Forces
And as Yanks are all sceptics
who can smell bunk mile off, 1t was
decided that the truth must and
should serve. What we should have
done had the A. E. F.. failed just
how we should have extricated our
selves from our policy if the Ameri-
can troops had gone in for strategic
retreating, we don't know.
But, thanks to the combat d.
visions, the problem never arose.
From that electric day in May, when
the breathless squads from the 7th
machine gun battalion jumped into
the fighting in the streets of Chateau
Thierry, the task of the Stars and
Stripes became easy"
Some day, perhaps within a year,
the troops will come home and the
most unique newspaper in the world
will go out OF existence, paper with
over half million circulation, whose
editor is a buck private,
drawing $50 month, plus overseas
pay.

previous evening at great patriotic
rally in the New York Hippodrome q
message was read from him, written
especially for the occasion. In 1t was
this striking sentence:
I'VE have room for but one flag, the
American flag, and this excludes the
red flag. which symbolizes all wars
against liberty and civilization just AZ
much as 1t excludes any foreign flag
OF a nation to which we are hostile,
''' and we have room for but one
soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the
