Patting itself on the back, the paper editorializes on the quality of its press services:

The Capital Journal’s Press Service

Some weeks ago Karl H. VonWiegand, the United Press correspondent, scored one of the greatest “scoops” in newspaper annals by interviewing the crown prince of Germany, at his army headquarters, and securing a very readable story. Yesterday he followed it up by an interview with Admiral Von Tirpitz, of the German navy, which was printed in all the United Press papers having the full leased wire service, like the Daily Capital Journal. It was an excellent piece of newspaper enterprise.
