In these two countries alone some fifty thousand persons are employed in the business, while the capita] in- vested is upwards of $60,000,000. )]very capital city in the world has an agency of the kind.

When the remainder of the platoon arrived Robertson was still firing the captured gun it was entirely due to his heroic action that the whole line was enabled to advance and capture the final objective, Rob, ertson went forward with the first wave, taking a gun with him. He used it very, effectively to keep down the fire of German machine guns and snipers, while his platoon console stated the new position, Later in the day, when two of our snipers who ventured in front of our lines were wounded, Robertson volunteered to. bring theme in. He went into the open, although exposed to a heavy enemy fire, lifted one man on his back and carried himytlfeiy to the trench and immediately returned to the second roan; staggering hack With .his un- conscious burden while the, bullets ,whistled around him. But as if cruel fate were awaiting until the last pos- sible moment to overtake him, he was killed on the very parapet of the trench, his mission almost accomp- lished. His splendidly heroic end, like his dashing work done earlier in the day, had a most inspiring effect. It fell to the lot of a C.P.R. engineer, Pte. John Peter Robertson, to win the much coveted Victoria Cross at Pas- schendaele. Robertson enlisted at Lethbridge with the 175th and was an engineer on thtbt division. He was better known as "Pete" to his Leth- bridge friendls. He was born in Pic- tou, Nova Scotia, but lived most of his life in Medicine Hat with his - mother, Mrs. Alex. Robertson. tion ofcriticisms from the Press. Robertson was aged thirty-four, won Patronized- By Everybody. Your dramatist gets more notices than any other writer, and is naturally greedy to know what the critics think of his work, and tjie bill he pays to his agency may amount to twenty or twenty-five dollars a week, or even more. Prize-fighters and pulitieiane are equally good customers of the Press - clipper, Journalists or authors who axe work- ing an some special Subject find the Press -clippings invaluu.ble. They or- der from several different bureaux at once everything that may be appear - leg in the World's Press on this par- ticular subject, and so obtain informa- tion which could not he obtained in tiny other way. Some agencies make a specialty of We, sort of thing—that is, supplying iuformation; • others go in for per- onal matters, others again for critl- eism, Some include all kinds of work. The papers which get most heavily dipped are thu Society journals. Society wont :are greedy to collect every paragraph in which their names ;tepee', and, more particularly, photo- grui-ells and pictures reproducing their features. There is one agency which confines iteelf to scientific and medical jour- nals. Its clients are mainly doctors and scientists, and some of them are uncommonly good customers. The late King Edward not only sub- scribed to two Press -cutting agencies, but sometimes himself clipped pic- tures ofJhls royal features appearing in the public prints. His sense of humor protected -him against annoy- ance, and caricatures of himself mere- ly made ham laugh. It it interesting to note that the or- clered cuttings from American as well as British sources. his 'distinction in connection with operations at Passehendaele, Novem- ber 6, 1917.. Details came through authoritative channels that during his battalion's attack Robertson's platoon was held up by anent wire two hun- dred yards from the final objective. Our guns were still busy cutting a way through the wire when a German ma- chine gun opened fire and inflicted very heavy losses on the Canadians, Robertson., without waiting for orders and entirely on his own initiative, rushed towards the German gun, defy- ing the tnacitine gun's withering fire. Moreover, our artillery barrage was so intense that death seemed almost certain. Working his way to the flank, he eventually found an opening in the wire, got through and crawled until the end ot the emplacement was reached. Rising suddenly to his feet he charged down on the astonished Minard's Liniment Co., Limited.

The best of royal patrons of the Press -cutters was not, as might be supposed, the ex -Kaiser, but the late Czar of Russia. He had a row of volumes of cljppiugs in all European languages, A secretary was kept al- ways busy pasting these up. Mr, W. T. Stead, the late editor of "Review of Reviews," is believed to have possessed more Press -cuttings than any other man in England. They are said to have suggested to him the plan of "Review of Reviews." Even Government departments do not despise the Press -cuttings: There is at Whitehall a gigantic collection of such cuttings relating to the late war, while the official history of the Spanish-American War was largely compiled from current newspapers. Any of the first-class agencies em- ploy from fifty to a hundred clerks, and send 'out from fifty to one hundred thousand cuttings weekly. The aver- age price is five dollars' a hundred clippings, and to their credit it should be mentioned that Press -clipping agen- cies halr,e.not turned profiteers or in- creased' their prices so greatly as have most other businesses. r, ( His Oversight.
