Annual Report Reviews Task of the Newspaper Man New York, April 27.—The report of the board of directors of The Asso- clated Press this year is considered of such interest as to warrant publica- It refers among other things to the experiences of some Associated Press representatives in the foreign service, and in making this part pub- lic, the board authorized the inser tion .in parenthesis of the name of the man concerned. The report follows: 0o the Members of The Associated Press: “In earlier reports we have endeav- ored to summarize briefly the mos important news events of the yea We make no such attempt thi: There have been months during which more epoch-making news hag- devel- oped than during some previous en- tire years, and all newspaper men must wonder whether we shall ever return to former standards of new values.

Yet we have in- comparably the most comprehensiv machinery for collecting and distr many inevitable Overtaxed cables, buting news that the world has ever | known. “Of our men abroad, we gratefully our appreciation. Tor- pedoes and mines at sea and shot and shell on land have held no fears for them. Their escapes amid danger have been countless. One (Frank M. America) was knocked down by a Zeppelin bomb in London, but worked all night as usual—merely an inci- dent aof the day's work in an building which itself has been hit such shells; another (Robert T. Small) fell into the icy Sommye, but rode 35 miles to cable the story of the first American in Peronn another (Charles T. Thompson) W on the highest rampart of the Castle of Gor- jzia when a shell buried it and him under earth, but on that afternocon he wrote a story which thriiled the press of Europe as well as of the United States; another (Walter Whiffen) was shot in the knee on a Russian ob- servation post: another (Charles S.

Such incidents are not unusual in the service of your organization. Cardinal Principle, “Accuracy.” “Through the years The Associated Press has, by maintaining its stan- dards of accurate reporting, preserved the best traditions of journalism. The good name of The Associated Press has not been impaired. The public confidence in our dispatches steadily ,has grown until millions of readers now hesitate to give credence to many published reports until assured that they were carried by our assoclation. The sensational Zimmerman note, witix ‘its report of diplomatic intrigue in Mexico, was universally accepted as genuine because The Associated Press said it was. The bombardment of | Paris at long range was ridiculed by { other press associations and by ord- nance experts, but the Paris bureau ot The Associated Press which for two days alone reported this startling de- velopment of the war to American | readers convinced the skeptical quite as thoroughly as did the official con- | firmation of its reports. When the | government’s action in taking over! the Dutch ships in American harbors was reported in Burope, several chan- cellories inquired in ropean capi- tals whether The Associated Press an- | nounced this fact. This reputation for | telling the truth on the part of The | Associated Press is recognized now quite as generally through diplomatic ' and journalistic circles abroad as it | is in the United States, and it is an asset of membership in this organiza- tion that is of utmost value. “During the past vear the war has naturally drawn heavily upon our staff. It has been the policy of the | management not only not to seek ex- emption from government service on behalf of its employes, but ta encour- age such service. Men who a year ago were serving this organization now are by hundreds in the military and naval and other services of the United States. Our operators, in particuiar, have been able to render valuable services for which their tralning has peculiarly fitted them. Within a year we thus have lost more than onc- fourth af our staff, and many more men soon are to leave, “In this period of war, as the ac- tivities and responsibilities of our service have steadily increased, it is o source of great pride to know that those upon whom the burden has fallen have met their obligations with a measure of faithfulness and intelli- gence for which the management is | deeply srateful. By direction of the board of directors and as a partial recognition of the efficiency of the staff, the life of each employe in the United States, while in the service, has been insured for the benefit of his heirs or dependents in the sum of $1,000. Because of the greater risk involved, established companies will not accept insurance upon the lives of | report on these leased wires, Which Tgohen Motor company have also sold | service our men in forelgm servise, but the Sunday Evening at 7.45 To Match Each Costume the Siren of the Nile Wears a Complete Mon. and Tues. 3 P.
