Mir. Myers said that the confir- nation of the report did not come over the wires until nearly six hours later, due to the fact that the Span lards had temporarily cut off means of communication. MT. Myers dwelt at length on the organizations de- sire for accuracy and the extremes to which 1t will go in order 10 make each story 1t sends out ring true.
 Mir, Myers delivery was excellent and. his voice is Of such B caliber that every word was sharp and clear cut. Wed like to hear him again some time.
 Shortly before o'clock yeste rday afternoon we tuned In on WEAN, Providence. and listened while read-

Chi oago stations did right by our Nell and treated US to--a treat.
 Ono Of the big features on pro- grams and, 10 us, the most interest," Ing, was the talk delivered from NTlC by W. J. G. Myers Of New Haven, who is Connecticut cores pondent Of the Associated Press. This organization, in response 10 the pnbllc'S desire for knowledge re- garding the workings Of the huge system, has conducted series of talks from several stations, last nights being the second Mir. Myers has giv- cn from WTIC, but, we hope, not the last.
 The subject was announced The Arrival of the Army 'Eound-the- World Pliers in the Jump from Labrador 10 Grccnland." but really that part Of the talk was the least important. We don't mean that it wasn't interesting, for il was, but Mr. Myers had such q fund of inforna- ton on other subjects, including the manner in which the great machine, inc existence of which mos news paper readers arc conscious Of only through the small logotype R) which is found in the date line of stories for which that organization is ro- sponsiblo, performs its valuable service 10 the country.
