The Star is the only newspaper in Seattle which gets the leased wire report of the United Press. It is the only paper in Seattle that can give you news of the European war through the eyes of “Bill” Shepherd, Karl Von Wiegand, Philip Sims, Ed L. Keen, and the rest of the writers who, since the war began, have pi across on the senile Associated Press an unprecedented series of big, corking scoops. In addition, The Star has other correspondents of its own in the field.
