SERVICE OF NEWSPAPERS HAILED
By JAMES w. BROWN

Publisher, Editor and Publisher
 NEW YORK, Jan. 12-The Amer ican press functioned in the public interest in 1928 as it has done for more than a century a5 the nerve center of the republic and the market place of the nation.
 Perhaps the outstanding public service of the year was the cour- age of the presidential campaign. Without fear or favor the Ameri- can press unfolded the stories of the parties and the candidates day by day from the moment the cam paign was begun at cost without parallel in political reporting. The elections were reported more elab- orafeiv. speedily, tt3sa.a acSsrately than ever before.
 Calculations of American news papers in 1928 approximated those of 1927, All morning newspapers having approximately 14000,0 ,00C paid circulation per day, 1,50O eve ming newspapers approximately 24,- O00,000 and 300 Sunday newspapers approximately 26,0O0,OOO circulation per Sunday.
 Advertising in daily newspapers in volume closely paralleled ths course of general business. Its total was slightly lower than the volume for 1927 and 1926. but dur ing the last quarter showed a pro nounced upward trend.
 A considerable part of the de. cline in total volume was due tc a slackening in the real estate market and to a lessening in tht demand for labor in industrial cen ters as compared with the peal activity of 1926. The outlook fol 1929 appears to be continuation of the upward trend which begar in September.
 The outstanding development o 1928 was an increase in the mum Der of newspaper groups or chains which now exceed 50 and contro more than 25o newspapers, circu lation Of chain newspapers is about 40 per cent of the tota

daily circulation of the country, having increased almost 10 per cent during the past five years.
 As 1928 drew to close several corporations were in process of organization to establish new op- eration groups by purchase of ex- isting newspapers or establishment of new papers, and it is believed 1929 will see a greater expansion of the chain idea than any year of the present decade.

Seven Drowned
When Passenger
Plane Crashes
Six Survive When Airship
Hits Water of English
Channel; Americans Re-
ported Among Passengers.

FOLKSTONE, Eng, June II
U.P)-A huge passenger plane, the
City Of OttoWa' carrying six WO-
men and seven men from Croydon
Airdrome for Drurich, halted while
over the English channel today and
plunged into the sea three miles
off DungeneSS.
Seven of the passengers, includ-
ing four women, were knocked un-
conscious by the impact and
wedged SO tight in the Wreckage
of the planes cabin that they
we're drowned before aid reached
them. One was identified as A.
Meister. of New York.
The four others-two women, the
pilot and mechanic-Were saved
by the quick action Of an Ameri-
can business man, H. w. Gaitham,
who kicked a hole in the side Of
the cabin, and threw three Of
them out. When rescuers climbed
into the water-filled cabin. it was
only to find the bodies of the
others wedged under fallen lug
gage.
The City of OttoWa left Croy-
don on its regular scheduled flight
at 1O:3O am. The big plane got
away nicely and kept in commu-
nication with the control power
at regular intervals.
The pilot signalled at 11:30 a.
m. that something had gone wrong
and a moment later said he was
trying to land beside ship.
Going down! Help me!' then
flashed from the radio.
AT that moment the spectators
on nearby Vesseds saw the big
plane hurl itself at the water and
strike with great force.
