GC GAOPER WHEN Piéoo BACKS AUTHOR OF YELLOW PERIL OGARE AG UNE BET BET “Better Telegraphic Service” Finds Its Expression in International News Reports, Linked With Ger- man Propaganda by U. S. Investigation William Randolph Hearst, alias the International News Service, made its debut to the Casper vublic this week thru the medium of the Casper Daily Press, the editor of which assures his readers that he has arranged “for a better telegraphic ser- vice than has ever been received by any newspaper of the city.” Hearst’s, then, in the judgment of the Press, offers the best to be had in the news line, notwithstand- late disclosures by the Depuart- ment of Justice at Washington, »wing that Hearst correspondents n the direct ¢ of the German Washington, that they were sent overseas to bask in the fa- vor of Prussian military o: is while they wrote German propaganda buted by the International Nev ce, and that t were prime factors in molding pro-German senti- ment in this country. ing embassy at Hearst’s is the “better servi in the opinion of the Press editor, not- w ng the fact that on We week the at the top nesday morning of last Press carried a stream of the front page, heralding the an nouncement that ‘HEARST DI- RECTED ‘YELLOW PERIL’ SCARE, INSTRUCTED EDITORS TO PRE- PARE CARTOONS WITH JAPAN IN VILLAIN ROLE.” In addition to evidence revea that the International News been linked indirectly, if not directly with German propaganda in this country, development which has brot it into disrepute thruout the length and breadth of the land, and influenced city official: of a points to consider s to prohibit the circulation of Hearst papers in their communities, atten- | tion might be called to the fact that for a considerable period of time In- ternational News correspondents were refused the use of wire tran mission facilities in Allied countri were dismissed from the Ameri army on the Mexican border for sim- ns, BERGER UNDER SEVERE FIRE (By Associated Press.) CHICAGO, Dec. 17.—R. A. Milroy and Earl Dole, both agents of the Department of Justice, are witnesses in the trial of Victor L. ‘erger and four other Socialists charged with violating the espionage aet Dole testified that he attended a big Socialist meeting in Mil- waukee in July, 1917, when Berger was present and also Irwin St. | John Tucker, another defendant. th The witness said that resolutions were passed demanding that | ‘¢ war be stopped without delay. On motion of Berger, Dole de-| ‘lared the audience arose and gave three cheers for the People’s Council of America for Democracy and terms of peace and its ef- forts to end the war. i ilar digression from the truth, and, in the opinion of the great majority of newspaper men, have leaned to sensational journalism that is hardly less than “yellow” in its extremity. On more than one occasion news piracy has been proven against the International News Service by both ociated Press and the United the only two news gathering mediums of the country which boast of first hand facilities for covecting and disseminating the news of the world All of which, according to the as- sertions of our contemporary, reduced to “contempt,” should now em- phasize the opinion that the notorious any Hearst service “better than ever received” by a nex Casper. And flaunts in the per, which never has felt the taint of a compromisinz influence aside from those which found a breeding » within her own limits, and is speec ily progressing to a point where all will be elimi ed. It is passing strange that in his of- ficial announce ent heralding the acquisition of so excellent a service, the editor of the Press chose to ig- nore the name of Hearst and the In- ional News Service, leaving it readers to form their own con- clusions. Neither does the credit line of the International News ap- pear over the dispatches, altho the Press has always made it a point to use the Associated Press credit line. Suffice it to say that The Daily Tribune readers will continue to note the familiar credit captions of The Associated Press and The United Press over its telegraph news, which besp: s for it reliability based upon decades of efficient service. At the same time attention is called to the fact that The Daily Tribune is the only newspaper in Central Wyoming seiving the day service of the As- sociated Press and the only one in Wyoming receiving the United Press. > a The bulk of the world’s supply of ‘paper is made from spruce and other soft woods, the supplies of which are hteadily diminishing.
