was done in a small way and crudely
at that-but there was time when one
or two men were in control
1T was to end that ownership that
the Associated Press of today came
forth.
Today the policy of unbiased news
in press association news dispatches
is a fixed ol>e-so fixed that so long as
this cooperative endeavor endures no
competitor of the Associated Press
would dare embark upon any policy
antagonistic to this one.
"The policy of press association
transmitting news without bias is thus
the American policy 1t is woven into
the fabric of the conscience of Ameri-
can news making. The cooperative
Associated Press put it there.
mo human activity Of the magni-
tude of the Associated Press should
escape criticism il it could. The AS
sociated Press welcomes criticism.
''The public, representing every walk
of the Social and business world, can
not be said to be trained to view any
thing in an altogether disinterested
way. I know of no calling other than
ours that trains itself TO be partisan
free. Therefore the public is often led
into speaking or thinking of the As
sociated Press news report critically
without always analyzing the text of
our dispatches.
"On November H. the Associated
Press distributed news dispatch re-
porting the deep concern with which
responsible officials Of the state de-
.partment regarded the spectre of
Mexican-fostered bolshevist hegemony
intervening between the United States
and the Pan American canal
al the same time it transmitted a
statements bys Secretary. Nellogg,. in
which he characterized the. situation
in Nicaragua as one 'which has>inNited
further interference from outside
sources The same dispatch recounted
the state departments advices respect
ing shipment of arms and ammunition
from Mexico to Nicaragua.
with the publication Of the dispatch
referred to, the state department. was
publicly attacked as having inspired
propaganda directed against the pres
ent government of Mexico. Various
accounts OF cOnGluenllal CoilleieliSS
between Assistant Secretary Olds and
newspaper men were published in sup
port of the attack. Coincidentally, the
Associated Press was attacked on 4
charge of having lent itself to the ols-
semination of inspired propaganda, ana
the various accounts of Olds' conversa-
tion with the newspaper correspond
ents were submitted in proof OF this
charge.
1T is worthy of attention that the
Associated Press dispatch in question
did not contain the various statements
attributed to Olds. 1t only reported
that government officials charged with
the conduct of foreign relations We're
concerned over their reports that COM
munistic tendencies were being thrust
into American Mexican relations.
"This came to the Associated Press
in the usual course of news gathering
in Washington from sources. which IT
has right to expect are we'll. informed
and correctly represent the views of
file government There was ,nosreason
to question the truth of the inforina-
ton transmitted and investigation has
developed none"

 Atrocities Reported.
 Jeromana and Yalda, mentioned in official communiques as villages where the fighting was fiercest last week, II miles southeast of Damas- GUS in the heart of the gardens. From these places have come the usual tales of atrocities. The French say that the dissidents, capturing two aviators whose plane was forced to descend, tied them to their ma chine, which was set afre, and burned them alive. The communi- ques also refer to the bodies of Spanish being found horribly mu- tilated by the tribesmen.
 On the other hand the Nationalist leaders in Damascus assert the Cir cassian and Armenian mercenaries among the French troops began atrocities which only were retalidat- ed in kind. These Nationalist lead CTS have become even more bitter against the French presence in Syria as result of last weeks savage fighting. Some even go so far openly to wish for a return of Tu.A ish rule. We were partners with Turkey and ruling lords in our coun- try, but the French make us slaves in the name of mandate" they say.

DAMASCUS, OLDEST CITY, IS DYING
Pearl Of East Converted Into
 Dpab Fortress

Damascus, Syria. July 30 Pl-The gardens of Damascus, by tradition the oldest inhabited city in the world, where the Apostle Paul and the prophets of old once preached
 eternal life and good will among men, now echo to the rattle of ma- chine guns, the roar of cannon and the drone of airplanes pouring death and sowing hatred.
 Somber Senegalese and swarthy Circassian troops are stallied by saw age Arab dissidents across it's ex- Ipanse, and indomitable Druses march through the palm-hanked Iavenues where the princess of Baby Ilonia, the Pharaoh of Egypt, the prophets of Israel and the emper- ors of the west once walked.
 Barbed Wire SuppIants Flowers Once the gardens formed a huge emerald set in the yellow sands of the Syrian desert, but today they are taking on the grey color of a for bidding fortress. Barbed wire lines their paths formerly hidden under fences of flowers The smell of burnt powder and the inevitable odors of bitterly fought battle ground have replaced the aroma of blossoms.
 For some time the gardens of
 Damascus have been the scene of
 steady fighting between the French
 army that is maintaining Frances
 mandate in Syria, and the disaffected
 Druses who seek to storm Damascus

 Apparently recovering from the effects of some powerful drug, Schwartz said his memory has been blank for days. The last thing he remembered before finding himself in St. Albans Wednesday, was seeing several men turn into an alley lead ing to a lumber yard as he patrolled his beat about ? o'clock one morn ing.
 Schwartz said he had been threat .ened by gangsters after a raid on the Hottentot club at 1857 Third street, for which he was responsible. His body showed discolerations, cuts and scratches.

Their work was completed, the official communique says, but the dissidents contend the French were forced to retreat when they found they could not hold the gardens. The dissidents were com- pelled to withdraw from the gardens under heavy artillery fire, but re- grouped on the edge of the desert whence they have been Altering back into their old positions.
 Damascus itself. more or less in state of siege since October. 1925. is steadily being destroyed in the opin- ion of neutral observers.
 City Slowly Dying
 In the eyes of Orientals, Damascus is a rich jewel, the pearl of the east" It has maintained during 4,O00 years a reputation unequaled in antiquity, Fabulously wealthy in trade and commerce, the head of Syria" as the Prophet Isaiah once called it, has for centuries im- memorial equipped camel caravans loaded with precious goods which found their way into the markets of the world. It was an Arabian nights" city of splendors.
 Now with its Midan and Shagour quarters-one third of the city-vir- tually destroyed and it's other two- thirds lifeless, their shops and ba- zaars closed, it is city slowly dying. Caravans no longer leave for outside countries and trade is at stand still.
 When the Prophet Mohammed first gazed upon Damascus and its fair gardens, he exclaimed: "Verily, this is q Paradise" Tradition says he thereupon turned his back upon the city refusing to enter, saying that Allah had promised heaven be- yond life and that he did not want to jeopardize his chances by entering

.ts.ttttts.t:tstt..tt.ttsf,

The St. Matthew's Lutherans ap- pear to have strange hold on the lnter-Church league. Last night they won their ninth consecutive vic- tory, every team in the league being included in that unbroken run of wins, and now they need only four more to clinch the title and an even break in their six remaining con- tests to make sure of tie. Their leadership is by no means a fluke, as they have hitting power, plenty of dash on the bases, a wonderful field ing team, and the best pitcher in the league. The other teams have good material, but no team have every position so perfectly filled as the St. Matts have.

INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE
Corbin-Stanley Rule and New Brit ain Machine Union Works Games Postponed.

The game scheduled last night be- tween P. & F. Corbin and the Stan lay Rule S5 Level teams in the h. dustrial league has been postponed indefinitely. The game was origin ally scheduled for tomorrow after noon but was advanced to last night. Rain yesterday and the wet condi- tion of the field caused the managers to call it off and the date will be set in the future.
 Because both teams are crippled. the game between the New Britain Machine Co. and the Union Works has been postponed until some night next week. That leaves two games to be played tomorrow afternoon. Landers will. battle the Stanley Works on Diamond No. and Faf- mir will play R. & E. Both games will start at ? o'clock so that full nine innings may be played.
 Frank McConn's Butt Makers are out to stop the Universals' winning streak. The Stanley Works has been playing cratic baseball this season and is able to step out and beat the leaders while it loses to some of the poorer tearas in other games. The players woud like nothing better than to be the first team to set Landers back from the league lead and that is their purpose tomorrow afternoon.
