I own the head of the Telegraph Bureau soul, body and mind.

He loves the ground T.

and I spurn, and he sent out my first cable today, one of interrogation merely, ahead of twelve others; he has also given us the entree to a private door to his office, all the other correspondents having to go to the press-rooms and undergo a sort of press censorship, which entails on each man the cutting up of his story into three parts, so as to give all a chance.

I gave T.three dictums to guide him; the first was that we did not want a fair chance--we wanted an unfair advantage over every one else.

Second, to never accept a "No" or a "Yes" from a subordinate, but to take everything from head-quarters.
