SHELDO! | In the first batch of copy submitted to Mr. Sheldon to-night by the telegraph editor was the Associated Press account of the army estimates submitted to the British Parliament by the Government. In a short time it came back with an edl- torial comment to the effect that such | ne was a terrible commentary upon our Christian civilization. It is Mr. Shel- | to follow important news editorial matter. Besides this comment on the news from London there will be a cartoon on the editorial page de- picting the horrors of war. At 11 p. m. it seemed probable that the war news would be the feature of the tel- egraph page, the rumors of early peace being considered by Mr. Sheldon as the best possible news that can be obtained. ws OF INTEREST TO THE COAST.
