LONDON. Oft 17. — The morning
/ newspapers publish in eonspicnous
places the official order denying to
. the International News Service fnr
? ther use of the official press bureau
' am! th<- use of cables and all other
facilities for transmission of news bo
ease of its . irbling of messages and
breach of faith." The order appears
> under such headings as "No British
News for Heat t News Made in Am
! erica" and American Agencies Garb
ling of Me sages." The Daily Ex
•• press says by way of comment:
"The Daily Express repeatedly has
•called attention to anti British lies
printed in American newspapers eon
trolled by William It. Ilearst •—- the
New York American, the (,’hicago Ex
aminer and similar journals. This
‘news' is supplied by the International
News Ser\ ice, which is entirely a
Hears! organization. These papers
will not have a line of Hearst’s news
today This action follows repeated,
"breaches of faith by the ilearst or
ganization. One c.i the latest instances
was a me age in (he Chicago Exam
iner. headed ‘London in Flames," and
purporting to tics'rilte a Zeppelin raid.
It was never sent front London.”
In an extended editorial, the Times
says:
"Tlie dis! iplinavy measure taken
against the International News Ser
t ice is a ■' iti. i.u lory sign that the
government appreciates the import
ance of dealing drastically with lying
nev : agencies. The tone of Mr.
Heart's mu-papers is strongly anti
BriC -h, but the action of the govern
ment 1 a m i boon inspired by any
resentment it their opinion. It is In
eon ■' i"•• of (i liberate falsification
of intelli'"nee, which the Interna
tint 1 N’c S i vice lues been repeat
ed!, foaml : uilty.
"Whiz ;• i'dce that our government
I.....
has inflicted proper punishment upon
an unscrupulous news agency, we
trust that the measures taken will
not be regarded by the people of this
country as involving a slur upon the
character and conscientiousness of
the United States press as a whole.
The reputation of the great majority
of American journals for fairness and
honesty stands above reproach, and
it has again and again been vindi
cated during the war. We imagine,
indeed, that the American press and
public will he grateful to the British
authorities for having punished wrong
doers, and especially for having made
public the grounds for the action
taken. The dissemination of accurate
news is at all times a matter of high
importance. W’e trust our authorities
will extend their laudable energy in
other directions also, and visit with
similar punishment any other news
agencies or journals which may be
convicted of publishing garbled intel
ligence from this country.”
The Chronicle says: "The govern
ment has taken a well Justified step
in depriving the International News
Service of all telegraphic and mail
facilities. The reason is not that Mr.
ilearst’s papers are pro-German, hut
that they have repeatedly published
as coming from this country news
which did not in fact come from it."
Inasmuch as the New York Ameri
can, the San Francisco Examiner and
the Los Angeles Examiner are mem
bers of the Associated Press, the
statement that the Hearst papers will
not have a line of English news does
not apply as to these three papers.

The Range With a Reputation
Great Majestic
There Is as much difference 1 n Ranges as there is in horses. All
Ranges have flues, ovens, ash pan s, etc. You can’t judge a Range
from a printed description any more than you can judge a horse that
way. You have to see them to un derstand why one is cheap at the
price, and another is dear at any price. See the MAJESTIC display
at our store.
