THE World's representation at the
Peace Conference will include
Herbert Bayard Swope, one of the
editors of The World, who makes his
third trip to Europe since the begin
ning of the war. His newspaper
series and later his book, entitled
"INSIDE THE GERMAN EM
PIRE," won for him the Columbia
University prize for journalistic
work in 1917. The book was trans
lated into French, Spanish and Japa
nese and received wide recognition.
For the last year Mr. Swope has
been in Washington writing on inter
national matters and recently he was
on leave of absence from the paper
to act as an associate member and
assistant to the Chairman of the
United States War Industries Board.
His experience there will be of value
in matters of economic nature. His
grasp of the problems stirring the
world today ana mo personal knowl
edge of the men and nations who are
seeking to solve them enable him to
write with authority not to be readily
found elsewhere.
Mr. Swope brings to his work
abroad an equipment gained in many
years of newspaper work that enables
him to interpret the march of events
and their significance convincingly
wm distinctively.

CHARLES M LINCOLN
CHARLES M. LINCOLN, Managing Editor of The New York World, has gone to Paris to complete the
arrangements for the World Peace Conference staff and to see that every facility for effective service is
accorded The World.
Mr. Lincoln has been Managing-Editor of The World for the past six years, previous to which he was one of
the editors of the Herald. He made all The World's arrangements for the reporting of the war, and it was largely
due to his planning and placing of men in the field and the great centers of news that The World's war news
service was the best in Amerida. Early this year Mr. Lincoln made a trip to the battlefields and was accorded
every privilege by the British and French Governments.
Mr. Lincoln is a thoroughgoing newspaper man. When the controversy arose as to which route the Govern
ment should select for the building of the ocean-to-ocean canal, Mr. Lincoln spent five months in Nicaragua with
a party of engineers. He made the trip over the proposed route from east to west, and then back from west to
east, saw that the natural obstacles were too great, and that the engineering difficulties would involve too much
expense, and reported against the feasibility of that route.
Mr. Lincoln is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, of London. He has been interested in Polar
expeditions, and when Major Andre,- who- was lost in the North, planned to drift across the Pole in a balloon,
Mr. Lincoln had an arrangement with him for the news of the flight. .

since. He has unusually intimate con
nections with the French leaders and
profits frequently thereby. His courage
under fire and assistance to our soldiers
on the battlefield have been frequently
commented upon. Mr. Eyre has scored
many beats. By a thrilling motor run

the London office of The World. It was
Mr. Grigg who, a few years ago. obtained
in London the startling documents prov

ments across the Ambassador was or

were the expose of the Congressional
lobby in 1913; the uncovering of the
New Haven scandals in 1914; the
first portrayal of the German in
trigue in this country in 1915, which
resulted in the dismissal of the
Austrian Ambassador and the arrest
of many spies and propagandists
operating under the German Govern
ment; the expose of the profiteering
during the war and the extortions of
the liquor traffic, which profited to
the extent of $900,000,000 through
