PROPAGANDA OF EUROPE SENT IN QUISEOPNEWS’ United Press Label Gurantees Dispatch as Free 1 From Official ‘Coloring.’ BY ED L. KEEN General European Manager United Press. LONDON, Aug. I.—American newspaper readers are today being supplied with two kinds of news from Europe. One kind filters through channels whose headwaters are located in the foreign offices—the State departments —of various European countries. The other kind is sent direct by experienced American newspaper men, trained to observe carefully and to report objectively, without reliance upon interested sources and uninfluenced by considerations of expediency. The label “By United Press” over dispatches from Europe in an American newspaper is a guarantee of the latter. There are two kinds of news agencies, or press associations, operating in Europe. One kind is either itself governstibsidized or controlled, or is affiliated in other countries with agencies that are governmentally subsidized or controlled. The other kind is not only free from any sort of government control' or influence, but is entirely disassociated from agencies that have such affiliation. The United Press belongs to the second category. European news agencies of the first mentioned class are combined into an interdependent group of some thirty members. Maintained by Governments |* Not all of the members of this organization, which is known as the liliied news agencies, are under the 'direction or control of their governments. Some of them are frankly “official agencies,” maintained and operated oy their governments. Others .are semi-official, subsidized directly or indirectly. Others, while receiving no subsidy, operate in close harmony with their governments. Still others are quite free from governmental association in their own countries, but they are affiliated with the official and semiofficial agencies of other countries. The nucleus and dominating element of this news combine is the official and semi-official agencies, whose principal function is to handle the news of their respective countries in a way most agreeable and most useful to their governments. Naturally, they utilize to the fullest the opportunities of favorable nationalistic propaganda. 1 * All the allied news agencies, whether official, semi-official, or locally independent, are knit, together in a net work of interlacing contracts and exclusive news exchange arrangements, the purpose of which is so far as possible to create and maintain a news monopoly. Powerful Competition

That they have not been successful in this endeavor is due to the powerful competition of such independent agencies as the Exchange Telegraph and the Central News, of Great Britain; the Telegraph Union, of Germany; the Nippon Dempo Tsushin Sha of Japan; the Agence Radio, of France; the United Press, of America, and the British United Press, of Great Britain and Canada. The agencies, and the International News Service of the United States, have been invited to send representatives of the forthcoming press conference to be held under League of Nations auspices at Geneva.

The leading members of the allied agency combine are Reuters, of Great Britain; Wolff, of Germany; Havas, of France; Stefani, of Italy, and the Associated Press, of America. A. P. Gets Into Combine Nearly all the other countries of Europe are represented in the membership, as well as Japan. It was only recently that the Associated Press became fully identified with the organization. For a number of years, the A. P. has had contractual relations with the leading members of the combine, but until the recent meeting of the allied agencies, at Warsaw, it had not been officially' represented at their counsels. At the Warsaw meeting, in the latter part of May, Kent Cooper, general manager of the Associated Press, appeared and at his request his organization was admitted into full membership by acclamation.

300 Miles an Hour! Three hundred miles an hour is the official flight record that Lieutenant Alvord J. Williams of the U. S. Navy, pictured below, is seeking. A specially built plane, designed by himself, has just been built for his attempt. It will be driven by a 24-cylinder motor. Williams probably will represent the navy in the Schneider Cup Races in Italy this year.

Pn NEA Service [TTI EW YORK, Aug. I.—Speed, IN speed, and more speed! I——l That’s the heart’s desire of Lieut. Alvord J. Williams, Jr., United States Navy flier, who hopes to set an official aviation speed record of 300 miles an hour or more soon. “It must have been born in him,” observed his father, Alderman Alvord J. Williams, Sr., political leader of the Bronx. “A1 always did like speed. Asa baby, he could creep faster than the

r

babies of any of our neighbors. All his childhood he was forever racing on roller skates, bicycles, on horseback, or afoot. “He entered swimming races, too, and usqally won them. “A1 decided to become a lawyer when he grew up. He has been admitted to the New York bar. But I guess he never will practice now. The ‘law’s delay’ would come pretty hard to him, now that he is so accustomed to fast traveling.” It’s in a racing plane of his own design, just completed for the Navy, that Williams hopes to attain an official 300-mile-an-hour mark. The plane is described as a “motor with wings attached.” The specially built motor is driven

States went to war with Germany He wasn’t another Walter Johnson, but in baseball as in everything else he liked his “smoke.” He had gone to the Giants after leaving Fordham college, where he was marked as the speedy football player who in an emergency could dash around the end and score a needed touchdown. Quitting baseball in 1917, he entered the air service, and he has been flying ever since. He sent an official record of 243.6 miles per hour at St. Louis in October, 1923. Later he lifted this mark to 266 miles per hour. In 1925, over Long Island, he piloted a plane at 302 miles per hour, but with a diving start. The feat was not officially recognized. An old shirt is Williams’ talisman on his flying exploits. He never fails to wear it when he’s out in search of anew record. Some day, Williams believes, man will lift his air speed to 500 miles an hour—at which pace, a New York-to-Parls flight would be made in less than eight hours.

the INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

STATE OFFICIALS RENEW ATTACK ON TAXJIEFUNO Brown, Zoercher Answer Criticism of Their Stand on Court Decision. Elaboration of their views on the tax refund decision of the Supreme Court is set forth by Chairman John J. Brown and Philip Zoercher of the State tax board, in two letters made public Saturday. The Brown letter is addressed to the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce and the Zoercher letter to Clinton H. Givan, Marion County attorney. The correspondence came as the result of an attack by Givan and others on the criticism of the refund decision which tax board members have made recently. Reversal Is Predicted Zoercher points out that former court decisions all indicate that "harmfulness” must be shown before refund is made and that therefore the court erred on holding that refund should be on the horizontal increase of 1919-21 on the technicality of no proper notice. “I have faith enough in the Supreme Court that when this case is properly presented a reversal of this decision will be forthcoming,” the Zoercher letter states. Brown gives as his reason for writing “the many wild and unwarranted statements that were made at the Chamber of Commerce meeting.” Injustice on Taxpayers He says that the board does not believe that any great injustice has been done by the horizontal increases and that the refunding (which Marion County alone is attempting), will work greater injustice on present taxpayers. “We quite agree that if any taxpayer can establish that during the years In question he was required to pay In excess of the amount required of other taxpayers on an equal amount and value of property, to the extent of such excess or injury such taxpayer is entitled to reimbursement with interest,” he says.

Physical Culture magazine contains a discussion of where the present pleasure-mad trend of a large class of Americans is leading the Nation in reference to apoplexy. Although physical culture information, national health conservation work and general enlightenment on subjects related to health has cut greatly the death rate on diphtheria, typoid fever, scarlet fever and measles, together with Bright’s disease and tuberculosis, since 1911, the death rate from apoplexy, cerebral hemorrhage, has been reduced but little. The article explains causes of apoplexy and follows with information which will prove a safeguard to every one.

Thousands Are Employed to Combat Flames That Take Huge Toll. Bn SKA Service MISSOULA, Mont., July 29.—The annual forest bonfire with its mil-lion-dollar losses is about to begin. Fires are raging in five forests, and with indications that this will be another dry summer and early fall, crews at the forest service warehouses here and at other centers of the Northwest have been shipping supplies to the thousands of men who will be employed to check the costly, terrible, ravenous eating of the fire demon in the national timber reserves. * This town of Missoula Is really the forest fire fighting headquarters for the whole Northwest. Is Fire War Headquarters The central buying organization for the forest service is maintained here, and points as far away as Alaska and Tennessee get their fire fighting equipment from here in an emergency. Twenty thousand rations have been placed in canoes at vital points in the forest, awaiting the day of need when fire crews will come in to fight the flames. Equipment for 4,000 extra fire fighters is on hand in the warehouse. As indication of the scope of the shipments, it is stated that fOO cookstoves have been sent out from the warehouse this year. Expenses Go High Food and supplies amounting to between $350,000 and $400,000 are distributed from the forest service centers each year, the total depending to a great extent upon the fire season. Last year, 1,148 forest fires spread over this district, leaving 386,457 acres of burned, worthless timber, 320,857 acres of this land being national forest reserve. This is more than six times the damage of previous years. From 1916 to 1920, forest fire losses were estimated at $85,715,000. an average of $17,000,000 a year for the whole country. Organized forest fire fighting has cut down the losses somewhat, but they near the $10,000,000 mark annually, in spite of all precautions—and the precautions cost nearly $5,000,000 a year.
