BOYS OF THE A. P. TAKING BIG CHANGES “Business Report” of News| Gathering Agency Reads Like War Romance ALL IN THE DAY’S WORK New York, April 30.—The report of | the board of directors of the Associat- ed Press this year is considered of} such untisual interest as to warrant| publication. It refers things to the experiences of some As-| sociated Press men in the foreign ser-| vice, and in making this part public the board authorized the insertion in parenthesis of the name of the ian concerned. The report follows: Scene from “A Ki newspapers and 61 newspapers, or a total of 1,088, rece’ jing the s ifrom the sma 1500 word dail ithe largest, Associated | of To the members of Press: In earlier reports we have endeav- ored to summ briefly the me important ne events of the y We make no such attempt this year.

It has been the policy of the management not only not to seek ex- emption from government service on behalf of its employes but to encour- age such service. Men who a year ago were serving this organization are now by hundreds in the military and naval or other service of the United States. Our operators in par- ticular have been able to render valu- avue service for which their training has peculiarly fitted them. Within a year we have thus lost more than one- fourth of our staff, and many more men are soon to leave us. * In this period of war, as the activi- ties and responsibilities of our service have steadily increased, it is a source of great pride to know that those up- on ‘whom the burden has fallen have met their obligations with a meas- ure of faithfulness and intelligence for which the management is deeply grateful. By direction of the board of directors and as a partial recognition of the eficiency of the staff, the life of each employee in the United States while in the service, has been insured for the benefit of his heirs or deend- ents in the sum of $1,00v. Because of the greater risk involved, established companies will not accept insurance upon the lives of our men in foreign service, but the board has itself as- aumed liability on their behalf. ‘While the growth in membership was unusually large during the last year, the members should not mistake » policy as to growth, Unlike the itely owned and profit making agencies, we do not traffic in The committeeman did. The patient bought a bond with the only money he had in the world and he was prom- ised assistance and a job. The story of the janitor at the state capitol already has been told. He was too old to fight and he had no one to fight for him. So he converted his fortune of $1,000 into government securities. In one industrial department, every man except one bought bonds. This man burst into tears. Investigation showed he had four children and that he was in poverty. The other employ- es met in private and pooled a sub- scription for him and the factory was placed on the honor list. An old elevator man who has two sons at the front bought a bond. He had subscribed to the first and the second loan. Chauffeurs of one company were inadvertently overlooked by the cam- paigners. They protested in a body and in five minutes every man was on the subscription list. History was made in the press rooms of the Pioneer Press and The Dispatch. Honor certificates were about to be printed when the loan committee came to the building. Every man in the press rooms cubscribed on the spot and demanded his credentials. Thier 100 per cent certificate was printed and the ink still wet when it was posted to the window.

Nebraska carried off the honors sell- ing more than $8,000,000 worth of stamps with a per capital of $6.64. In the amounts of stamps cold by the same number of state since the be ginning of the campaign North Dakota ranger forty-fifth with the sum totat of $484,494.07 and a per capita of 75 cents. Nebraska still leading with more than $14,(0,000 and a per capita of 911.06. While north Dakota's campaign for thrift and war savings stamps. has not been of the spectacular kind it has been intensive and thorough and it is expected that it will from now on grow very rapidly until the close of the year 1918. The war savings campaign in ‘North Dakota is conducted in two stages, the first to get pledges, the second to fol- low them up. George H. Hollister, di+ rector of war savings for North Da- kota, says, “Promises to buy war sav- ings stamps sell stamps ony as far as the promises are kept. We must heip people keep them. Drives are not enough, the county chairman who looks simply to sell the stamps is miss- inz his chance, he must get people in- to the habit of buying. In order to get them to buy he must help them to keep their pledges to save. Every school district, ward, office building, factory and school room should have someone in it to follow up pledges. find it a bother to do well. Somedody has to nag us into keeping our good resolutions. “That is what organization is for—~ without it the war savings campaign will not be a savings campaign and the quota set for North Dakota wih not. be raised. I would suggest tha: all chairmen devote the month of May to organizing a follow-up campaign. The power of the pledge is great, the power of the follow-up is greater. Getting in our quota is the greatest. “WAR SAVINGS COMMITTEE, “George H.
