As soon as the announcement went forth that a new daily paper was to be started, and that temporary offices for organising purposes had been secured, applications for posts began to flow in. They came from all parts of the United Kingdom, from the capitals of Hurope, and from the leading cities of the Western Hemisphere. Far London being the greatest new centre in the world, all roads lead thither. INTERVIEWING ENDLESS APPLICANTS,
you must remember that ancrifices must ba inade in order that the impr. ssion that the now parar wants to create at the start shall not be harred by incompetent workmen.
It is a very nnxious time for all concerned. bringing out the first issue. The excitement the office is intense. Every man's mind is fixed intently on his work. And, take it from ne who has passed through it all, the strain is terrible. Two thoughts are uppermost in the mind. What will be the verdict to-morrow? Will my share of the work in producing the paper be considered satisfactory?
