WAR ZONE REPORTS DAILY
News from London, Paris, Rome, Petrograd
( The CAPITAL NEWS, through its connection with the livest and most energetic news-gathering association in existence—The United Press association—publishes the full reports of many of the
wars expert writers. These correspondents are known in all the larger countries of the world,—famous for their first-time reports, their accuracy and lucidness and their comment upon the possible ef
fect of the happenings reported.
A leased telegraph wire brings these reports direct to the CAPITAL NEWS office. These reports are immediately published assuring readers of its being fresh news. When it is 4 o'clock in the after
noon here it is 6 p. m. in New York and after midnight in London. The day's war stories have been told; executive offices in Washington are closed, and congreess has adjourned before the evening
paper goes to press. This great advantage of an evening paper was recently investigated in New York. A careful comparison over a period of two years showed that 87% of the news of the world is
printed first in the evening papers. This condition is the result of improved cable and telegraph facilities, the linotype, the fast presses and other 20th century methods. This is why there are two and
one-half evening papers where there is one morning newspaper. Readers want the news as soon as possible and our special correspondents send today's news today,

planned to attend the conference the
state council of defense, which had
been asked to send delegates also, did
not think It necessary to do so.
TO IMPROVE CONDITIONS.
Every effort will be made to remove
from the troops the more serious temp
tations which follow In the wake of
army camps. While conditions at
Camp Lewis are not bad it is felt they
can be greatly Improved and to this
end the delegates from the western
states discussed plans to bring that
about.
Idaho has sent 2287 of her sons to
the American Lake cantonment. It Is
therefore vitally interested In camp
conditions and the steps taken to Im
prove them. Both the governor and
secretary of the board of health say
that the conference was entirely suc
cessful and plans were made to Im
prove camp conditions.
