Alfred ]. Clarke was more than q re-
porter at the State, War and Navy
Departments. He was veritable REF
erence book" He had an intimate
knowledge of the workings of all three
of those branches of the Government.
During his many years of service there,
both for the Associated Press and for
The Star, he gained the confidence
OF officials and officers to an extent
that enabled him to gather news and
to learn the inner working of bureaus
and offices. AS the routine of official
news announcements developed and
he was less occupied in detailed re-
portership, he became an encyclopedia
OF presidents, of past performances
and of probable consequences. In this
service he was invaluable. His modesty
was such that he did not aspire to the
role Of the special writer whose name
Is appended to his productions and
thus he remained anonymous during
his many years Of active duty, though
he was intimately known and highly
respected by all of the many officials
with whom, in the course of his serv-
ice, he became acquainted.
Although young in years back in the
late l870s and early 1905, Mr.. Clarke
was already newsgathering veteran.
At that time he broke in" on the
reportorial job in general, and on his
own beat" in particular number of
men who later were to attain eminence
on large newspapers or press associa-
tons. Among these were the late
Rudolph Kaufman, for "a years

ciate editors.
