sald editorially, on December 1, 1914:
“The present position is that the
whole world 18 acquainted with news
which England is not officially per
mitted to know; and the ridiculous
feature of the situation is that a very
large number of individuals in these
islands know it quite well Anmriranl
newspapers bring English war news
into English newspaper offices whh‘hl
English newspapers are not permitted
to print,
“The prinecipal purpose of censor
ship, as we understand it, is to pre
vent the publication of news which
will be of service to the enemy. If
the enemy knows the news, its publi
cation in this country can not be of
pervice to them. Yet our offices are
littered with German newspapers con
taining news we are forbidden to pub
lish,
“We understand and appreciate the
reasons which may make reticence
in such a caeoe desirable for a limit
od period. Hut for how long does the
Government propose to continus the
farce of concealing facts from the
British public alone?”
Under date of November 20 The
London Dally News and lLeader pub
lished the following under the head
line, *“Darkening Counsel:"”
“Rumors of an event of very great
Interest to the British public kave
been circulating for a long time now
in this country. Very full accounts of
the event in questlon have now been
published in the Swedish, the Duteh,
the American and finally the German
papers.
*There is searcely an limportant
public in the world, that 1s to say,
which has not now received a full re-‘
port of the alleged occurrence, except
that one which 18 most directly ut-l
fected by it. :
“The truth or falsehood of the re
pérts 18 a matter on which judgment
may--and, indeed, for the moment
must-—be suspended. It Is Intelligl
ble that the authorities rgay have good
reasons for delaying the publication
of news, favorable or otherwise, until
a time when In their judgment its
publleation will be most effective or
least prejudicial to the public’s Inter
est,
“The sincere study and understand
ing of natlonal psychology may be of
important assistance in a struggle
such as that which we are now wag
ing. But it is surely a psychological
blunder of the first order to conceal
from the British public the news,
whether good or bad, which is the
common property of their nelghbors.”
The International News Service is
not going to suppress the news the
same as the English papers do to
please the censorship. It ls going to
print the news.
Notable “beats” scored by the Inter
national News Service In furnishing
the news of big war events ahead of
all competitors follow. All of these
“beats” did not please the English
censors. It 1s not the purpose of the
International News Bervice to please
the English censorship, but to please
the American people: |
On August 25, 1914, the Interna
~ ticnal News Service sent out the
. definite statement that Antwerp
would fall “within a week.” The
city was taken three days later
by the Germans.
The oapture of Ostend by the
Teutons was reported on October
17 by the International News
Service, 48 hours in advance of all
other papers. The greatest beat
of the war, in ali pro‘ublllty was
scored by the International Now-
Service in being the first to to tell
of the .inking of the British su
perdreadnought Audacious in No
vember, 1914, Eight hours after
the man-of-war went down off
~ Lough Swilly, the northernmost
| g‘oint of Ireland, the International
| ews Bervice knew of the disas
~ ter. It was the first to send it
~ out. The cable came from Paris,
~ reaching that city by wireless.
~ Two travelers an the steamer
~ Olympioc witnessed the loss of the
~ Audacious. One was a skilled Ca
| nadian newspaper writer and the
other was a pho(ogrn'rhor. One
sent the International News Serv
ios a letter with full details of the
sinking, and the other gave to tha {
world, through the International
News Service, the first picture of
the Audacious golng down.
November 29, 1914, the Interna
tional News Service printed ex
clusively the news that Abbas
Becond had been deposed as Khe
dive of Egy?‘t. and that Prince
Hussein Pasha was his successor.
On December 11 the Interna
tional News Service declared
Great Britain would annex Egypt.
This was done officially on Bo
cember 17,
The International News Service
was first with the news that the
Kalser would disavow the sinking
of the Arabic by a German sub
marine. It also gave the first news
of riots in British concentration
camps and of lo’pronn raids over
Parls in March 1915,
The first news that Italy would
go to the aid of Serbia came from
the International News Service,
The New York Times printed the
same news a day later,
Last May the International
News Service had a 24-hour beat
on the resignation of tne Italian
Cabinet,
Chaulnes About to
(By International News Service.)
LONDON, Oct. I].—~Anglo-French
positions on the Somme front were
kept under violent artillery fire by the
Germans during the night, especially
the new positions of the French south
of the Somme River. The Germlnl‘
were attempting to prevent consoli
dation of the newly gained ground of
the Allles, and some strong counter
attacka were launched.
Allfed artillery replied to the Ger
man guns and a llvely artillery duel
developed.
General Foch's troops are on the
outskirts of the important town of
Chaulnes as a result of the new thrust
on Tuesday, and it is Dbelleved that
Chaulnes will soon be in French

INTERNATIONAL’S BIG
BEATS CAUSE OF BANS
The British Government Tuesday
night issued a statement that It had
denied the use of the malls and cables
to the International News Service.
Following is the story of the facts:
NEW YORK, Oect. 10~The
English censors have been threat
ening for many months to deny
the International News Service
the privilege of the malls and ca
bles because the International
News Service dia not print the
kind of news that tae English de
sired to have printed in this coun*
try.
The International News Bervice
has defled the censors and de
clared its determination to prin*
the facts as nearly as it could
find them without regard to Eng
puh preferences and prejudices.
+ The English censors tonlght is
sueda a statement saying that the
International News Service has
been denied the mails and the
cables because it has distorted
the news, The facts of the mat
ter are that the International
News Service has been denied the
malils and cables because it has
not been willing to distort the
news.
The International News Service
has printed many Importent news
facts exclusively, news facts
which even the Engliah papers did
not get until they saw them in
the American papers subscribing
to the Inetrnational News Ser
vice, and then were compelled
to copy them from the Interna
tional News Service papers.
Among those news beats and
accnrate news statements of the
International News Service was
the sinking of the Audaclous, &
~ most important fact which the
English papers were not able to
‘ frlm until after it appeared in the
nternational News BService pa
- pers.
| There was much criticism by
the English press because the
American papers printed news
genuine news, undeniable news of
vital lmfyormnc. to Bngland that
the English papers were not able
to get and not able to publish.
The International News Service
t# an American institution, pub
lished for the service of the
American people. It gets and
prin the facts that the Ameri
can people want to read and not
the biased and distorted state
ments that the English people
want printed.
It is the intention of the Inter
national News Bervice to continue
printing the news, all the news,
and nnthlnf but the news.
It 1s the intention of the mana
gerl of the International News
ervice to continue printing opin
fons and interviews criticising the
English censorship and assalling
the English Government when
ever the acts of those Fnglish in
stitutions confilet with the inter
est of the American public.
The purpose of the Internation
al News Service is to be an
American institution for the
American people and without re
gard to the threat or cajolement
of forelgn nations to print the
truth and the full truth for the
information of the American pub-
He.
The actlon of the British cen
gor i the greatest compliment
that could be pald to the Inter
national News Service,
The British censorship has
been a news-suppressing institu
tion and a news-falsifying insti
tution from the beginning of the
WAr, :
The Rritish Government wants
American newspapers to print on
ly such news as will please and
assist the PBritish Government.
The British Government wants
American newspapers to print
only distorted news or lylng
news.
The, International News Serv
fce will not distort the news or
falsify the news to please the
British Government or anybody
else.
The International News Serv
fce loses nothing by being de
barred from the use of officlal
Britlsh newa channels, because it
‘ is practically impossible to get.
~ the truth through those channels.
| The International News Service
will continue to obtain the true
| news of European events, and its
~ subseribers will continue to print
~ the true news of European events
in spita of any and m‘ efforts
of the British Government or the
British censorship to keep them
from obtaining and from dissem
inating the true news.
Exclusive publication in
America of the news of the
sinking of the British dread
nought Audacious was one of the
first great beats scored in the
war by the International News
Service.
The British Government for
bade the British newspapers to
print even reports or rumors of
the ship's loss, and later denied
that the vessel had been de
stroved at all.
Soon afterward the Interna
tional News Service obtained
and published actual photographs
of the destroyed vessel. An ef
fort was made by the British cen
sors to prevent American news
papers containing news or pic
tures of the Audacious ostnfro
phe from mohln& the British
public, but this effort was not
altogether successful, and Eng
land, through the newspapers
gerved by the Tnernational
News Bervice, ultimately learned
the full details of the disaster and

the story was generally ac
cepted, 8
A succession of news beats by
the International News BService
in England followed. The In
ternational announced the deci
sion of the British Government
to create a protectorate over
Egypt a week in advance of the
formal announcement.
When the British newspapers
were still telling the British pub~
lic that Antwerp was impregna
ble, the Inetrnational announced
that the city must fall within
three days. Three days later the
Germans took the city.
The International exclusively
announced to the world, through
the medium of its clients In
America, the flight of the French
Government to Bordeaux at a
time when the British censors
were withholding the news from
the British publie.
The International News Berv
fce very early in the war sent a
special correspondent into Ger
many to learn the true state of
conditions there. Upon his re
turn to London he showed that
the stories of German starva
tion, of officers being chained to
their guns, which had been fill
ing the British and British-fed
American press were false, and
that Geramny was in a condition
to carry on the war indefinitely.
This report returned to Eng
land via the United Etates and
caused a considerable sensation
at the time. To this correspond
ent Sir Edward Gery, the British
Foreign Secretary, declared he
kiew the correspondent’'s report
to be trustworthy, but he doubt
ed the wisdom of permitting such
a report to reach the British
publie.
The many news beats by the
International News finally arous
ed a storm of protest from the
British newspapers. London and
provincial newspapers vigorous- ‘
ly assailed the censorship on the
score of withholding facte from
the British public which were
inclined to oreate a false opti
mism in England and which were
reaching Bngland anyway lin
American newspapers. 8
Many London dailles, and such
fnfluetinal provincial organs as
The Manchester Guardian, par
ticipated in the attack.
Later the censorlhlr was
somewhat more lenient in their
treatment of the British newspa
pers, but obstinately refused to
permit the publication of the
news of the destruction of the
Audacious, which was the first
cause of the protest.
However, The London Sketch, a
dally pictorial, finally printed a
page of Audacious pictures, un
der the caption, “An Audacious
Page” The fact of this caption
having been passed by the cen
sor was accepted throughout
England as absolute and final
proof that the International
News' originzl report was cor
rect.

The State Democratic Executive
Committee, meeting at the Kimball
House Wednesday to decide three
contests in the recent primary, zeat
ed J. B. G. Logan over Oscar Brown
in the disputed race for the Senate
from the Thirty-third Distriet. The
contest was brought by Brown on the
charge that the Australian ballot sys
tem, ordered by the County Executive
Committee, of which Mr. Logan was
chairman, was not used in two dis
tricta. %
The subcommittee appointed for
the Coffee County contest expected to
meet at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
That handling the Beck-Peeples
contest decided to meet Saturday of
next week.
It took the committee an hour to
shake off the three primary contests
after it was already agreed to re
fer the whole business to a subcom
mittee with full authority to dispose
of the matters.
The contest between C. H, Stewart
and John Paulk, candidates for Rep
resentative from Coffee, was the first
on the lst
Representative Stewart, who is
bringing the contest on the grounds
that sufficient illegal votes were cast
to wipe out the 17 majority his op
ponent claims and give him the nom
ination, showed some fear that the
State body would handle the case.
When the resolution referring it was
{put to a vote there was not a dis
senting voice, and Representaitve
| Btewart appeared as well pleased
with the result as anybody in the
| room.
! Jennings Quincey, of Ocilla, repre
senting Mr. Paulk, made the point
that the contest did not come underl

the rules of the executive committee,
which prescribe that the contest must
be filed in three days after the pri
mary. This was not .done, he sald.
The records in the hands of the congr
mittee did not show the rule had been
complied with, he sald in moving to
dismiss the contest.
= Cooper Objects.
John R. Cooper, of Macon, repre
genting Mr. Stewart, interposed the
objection to dismissal. He asserted
the contest had been properly filed
before the convention and forwarded
to the executive committee when ac
tion was not taken in Macon.
It appeared the other two contests
would become involved in the discus
sion which followed, although the
meeting was acting on the resolution
by T. E. Massengale, of Warren, to
give a subcommittee the authority to
pass on it.
Judge J. J. Flynt, of Grifiin, State
chairman, waited rather patiently for
the committee to get to the question
before the body, but it seemed to be
drifting further away. An apportu
nity presented itself just at this point
and he abbreviated the proceedings
by announcing that he would soon
strip the discussion down to the bare
facts and put the question. The dis
cussion subsided. The mction was
| carried.
i The resolution had been previously
amended, upon motion of Albert
Howell, of Fulton, providing for ai
separte commite for each distriet.
Mr. Howell made the Kolnt that a
single commitiee might not get
through struggling with the problems
involved in each contest in time for
the November election. J. W. Arnold,
of Monroe, had fortified himself
against such a predicament by an
amendment to the original resolution
providing . that the names of both
candidates in each contest should be
put on the ticket in the genera] elec
tion. The committee thought better
of dividing the work, and the Arnold
amendment became unnecessary.
The committees were:

| Beck- Peeples Contest.
~ The contest between E. H. Beck
and L. F. Peeples for the senatorial
nomination from the Forty-third Dis
trict came in for some little discus
‘sion before the resolution referring it
was passed. There were only 66 votes
difference between the two candi
dates, Mr. Peeples claiming a suffi
cient number of these should ba
thrown out for violation of the rules,
and he be made the numinee. The
Thirty-third District contest between |
Oscar Brown and J. B. G. Locns) was ¢
given only passing reference uring
the general discussion. The petition
of each of the contestants was read
by H. L. Gardner, of Edenton, secre~
tary.
Mr. Massengale offered a resolution
calling attention to alleged violations
of the executive committee rules, in
that more latitude was allowed candl
dates for office than prescribed, and
setting forth that in the future can
dldates so violating the rules shall be
ruled out by the State Executive
Committee, Mr. Jennings Quincey
made the point that the resolution
was rather vague and indefinite, and
