TRY IT OX DOG.
LONDON, March 2. (By mail)—A
shadow fell across the placid path
of English journalism today. There
is a movement afoot to induce all
London newspapers to pool their
properties and issue a single sheet,
thus releasing the staffs of all but
one for active duty at the front.
They are trying it on the dog
first. When the staffs of the two
local papers in the little village ot
Peterborough appeared before the
military tribunal for their regular
cemi-annual exemption they were
informed that the Mayor had decid
ed the two papers should merge into
one, and that half of them could go
and get measured for khaki.
The proprietors naturally sat up
on their hind legs and howled. But
the ears of a tribunal are deaf, and
the publishers have less than a
month to think it over. Mean- 1
while, the movement is spreading to '
London.
