The Creator of Get -
This is George Randolph
Chester most famous of Amer-
ican reportera and author of the
universally known "Get-Rkh-Quiclt.
Wallingfoid" stories.
Chester is in France to write
THI GREATEST STOKY
THERE IS IN THE WORLD
TODAY the story of how
France is bearing the burden of
the battlefield for the whole
world.
Chester will not report the
life of the battle-line itself but
will devote himself to the
human story of the people be-
hind that 'battlesline as they
go on year JP and ycat out
feeding that battle-line with
their blood their courage and
lli- a treasure.
This daily life of theirs con-
stitutes the greatest national
spectacle the race baa ever
teen and only a maater-hand
can do it justice. Cheater was
picked from- a whole nation
of newspapermen o do it.
Arid the creator of Wallingford
will more than live up to his
past reputation he will in-
crease it by these dispatches of
