The editor of one of the largest and most influential New
Yerk newspapers was talking in the lobby of the New Willard
Hetel at Washington te a group of correspondents and one or
two attaches of visiting foreign delegations te the Conference
en Armament.
Inte the lobby walked a Public Ledger correspondent,
formerly connected with the New Yerk newspaper in question
a personal friend of the man talking.
"Come ever here and meet an attache of the Italian
Embassy in Londen' said the editor. "I want you te knew
Mr ," he continued, "who was formerly with us in New Yerk
but has left the big city for the Philadelphia Public Ledger."
"Oh," cried the attache of the Italian Embassy, thrusting out his hand and smiling a
hearty welcome, "the Philadelphia Public Ledger is the one American newspaper we read
in Europe."
"Guess I stubbed my tee that time," said the New Yerk editor.

The Japanese correspondent of the leading
newspaper in Tokyo told the writer that the
Public Ledger is the one American newspaper
best known in the Far East.
The Petit Parisien has the largest circula
tion of any newspaper in France. Its American
news service is supplied by the Philadelphia
Public Ledger. Monsieur Philippe Millet, who
was its representative at the Washington Con
ference, tells us that since the war the
9
Philadelphia Public Ledger has become better
known than any ether American newspaper
largely for the reason that Colonel E. M. Heuse,
representing the Public Ledger, was in close
and intimate touch with all the leaders in
French public life.
"Anether reason," he said, "is because of
the unusual journalistic ability of Mr. Wythe
Williams, the Public Ledger's own corre
spondent in Paris."
It should fee a matter of pride te all Philadelphians that a Philadelphia newspaper is
advertising Philadelphia the world ever; and for the first time in the history of Philadelphia
journalism, Philadelphia has become a news center. Frem the Public Ledger office leased
wires radiate clear te the Pacific Coast and into Canada, supplying mere than three hundred
newspapers with its news service and editorial features.
Seme Philadelphians have told us that the Public Ledger is better known outside of
Philadelphia than in it.
Nevertheless, the net paid circulation of the Public Ledger has grown from 45,000
copies daily at one cent each in 1913 te mere than 250,000 copies daily at two cents each
in 1921.
