ASURVKY him been nmde by the school of finance and commerce in the University of Pennsylvania of newsnaner news. It covers editions of eight repre- rcnntniivn uovvsnnnnrs from 1911 to 1915 ami from October. 19:14. to Felirnarv, 192'j. It shows an average front-page upacc allotment as follows: News of politics and government Foreign news business news ....... News of the arts and sciences - - Society news - - Peliffions news " ------- Sports news - - Accident news in which (hero is no element of crime ....... Crime and criminal court news - -Obituaries - - - ------ Per Cent - ::8.r - 32.5 - 14.5 300 This. nhowiiiK seems to dispose of the oft-repeated charrro that newspapers uivc a larger proportion of front page prominence to crime news limn to news of all other classes. Tho charco does not island up. There continues much discussion in tho press of the country on tho subject of crime news and tho .pistihability of its publication. JOxperiments have recently been made by soino newspapers in lira complete withholding of crime news and by others in its departmentization on an in side page, much as market or sporting news is generally handled. One newspaper has taken a vole of its read ers as to whether they want erimo news printed or withheld and has found they want it printed. This test, in tho view of the Christian Science Monitor, which is at the forefront of the agitation for complete sup pression of crime news, proves nothing. Says the Monitor: The appetite for sensationalism, like tho appetite for drugs, arrows with what It feeds upon. A fortnight of enforced abstlncnco d'oes not heal tho addict In either case. Hut the moral responsibility rests upon the editor, whatever may be the expressed opinion of such of his readers as may join in a verdict of this character. If he can not determine for himself whother It la the purl of dignified, helpful, clean journalism to spread before tho world day by dny tho disgusting or depraving details of crime and scandal, he cannot nhsolvo himself from responsibility by taking a plebiscite among his readers on a question of pure morals. t has often been said that anything can be proved by the Bible. Tho Nashvillo Tennessoean endeavors to justify the publication of crime news by that authority when it remarks: ' Had aln and crime been left out of tho nihle, had' the de fects of those who In the Hebrew mind served Ood'a hlKhcr purposes been eliminated, It would not havo bocoino and It would not bo the universal standard of moral teaching and -religious conviction that It Is. It is Impossible to set up human standard of righteousness except upon the conviction of sin. None could be nioro Inconsistent than ho who, preaching from tho Illlile, nevertheless pleads for a newspaper mirror of the evory-day life of today that reflects nothing but the good; reflects none of the stark and ghastly cnnseriuences of crime, the serious, offenses against tho fuurt'aniontal moral laws of humanity. Many newspapers parly lo (.ho discussion contend that publication of erimo news is necessary as a deter rent (o crime. There is some fuvce to (hat contention, but The Guard will not pretend that it believes the principal actuating motive of newspapers generally in the publication of crime news is to tleter crime. Their principal motive is to supply an undoubted -demand for a complete- setting out of the high lights of what is going on in tho world each day, good and bail. The newspaper which ignored erimo news would not be ful filling its duty to its readers, which, is to give them tho information that they seek. To say that is by no means a defense of sensational newspapers which over exploit erimo news. They are in a class apart. Following his annual custom at nbout this season of tho year, tho editor of tho Cottage Grove Sentinel prints a front-page story about the biggest -hen's-egg on record. Of course it was laid in tho Cottage Grove (ector. Its circumference (he long way round was 101 inches. A black Minorca hen owned' 1 Airs, Uoboi-i prancraco to Honolulu." The report which followed began as fallows: Tbt Japanese government it in excellent punitiou to obtain first baud infunuati'-n relative to the cruise of the American fleet to Hoaolulu and certain aspects of tiie liuwaiian war-game. A Japa nese naval tanker hovered on the flank of tbe blue fleet all the way across tbe l'acific from Han Francisco to Honolulu, mantled by officers of the Jupuurne navy and carrying reservists for train ing purpose. Japanese observers in civilian garb also have becu in Ualtu gathering all !-:itu possible rela tive to the canipjign just conclud ed between tliu blues and blacks, for tbo information of Tokio.

STKWART (XEA Service Writer) yASIIlNUTOX, May 8. Militar ists, who abound here, are all ex cited over reports that Japan's reply to the lotted Mates Hawaiian naval maneuvers is to be a set of maneuv ers of her own, to show how easily she could beat such a fleet as this country's of course in Far Eastern waters. It isn't likely the Japanese think they could defeat America anywhere In tho vicinity of the .utters home shores. Possibly they don't think they can defeat her at all. That idea may be merely a complex some people havo got. 1 Tbo expected Japanese maneuvers are said to bv scheduled for Mav 27. This make.H the W'astiinutou niilitnr iMH' complex worHR, May '27 in the amuvcrrmry of the flattie of Tsushi ma, in which Japan's fleet destroyed KuM-ia's, just "0 years ngo.- An apt reminder, say the mili tarists, "of the great sea fitchters tbe Japanese are and how necessary it is to be ready for them. With all due respect for Japan's courage and not disputing nhe can ui k any fleet in Ihetatp of disro pnir Russia's was in, the truth is that the Japane.se are known among sen faring men ns poor shipbuilders, bad saitora and perfectly impossible bands in an engine room. builders they wanted another boat but would like to examine the plnns first, with a view to possible modifications. Tbe builders, suspecting tbe Japan ese of intending to do their own build ing from the Kngl.sk plans, made cer tain subtle changes before handing them over. Sure enough, the new vessel was a Japanese product. Launrhing day ar rived. The ship slid down the ways, hit tbe wnter and instantly turned bottom side up. Later hhe was induced (o assume a more dignified attitude, but it took Knglish experts to persuade her to do it. Almost alt foreign airplane instruct ors who have tried to traiu Japanese aviators testify to the impossibility of developing them into frst-class fly ng men. They have courage and ample in telligence to learn all moves to be made, but practically without excep tion they lack the instinct of gentle- ncss with machinery cl, it misbehaves.
