Palmer Frederick
Frederick Palmer (Jan 29, 1873 - Sep 2, 1958) was an American journalist and writer. He was born in Pleasantville, Pennsylvania. He attended Allegheny College in Meadville, Pennsylvania.[1] The New York Press hired Palmer in 1895 as its London correspondent; and this opportunity evolved into a long career.[1] Palmer's fifty years as a war correspondent began when he was sent to cover the Greco-Turkish War of 1897 for the New York World and for Collier's Weekly. He then covered the gold rush in northwestern Canada. The Philippine–American War (1899-1902) provided an opportunity for him to cross the Pacific bound for Manilla.[1] In 1900, Palmer went to China to cover the Boxer Rebellion (1900); and then he was sent to cover the Boer War (1899-1902) in South Africa.[1] Then the prospect of military conflict in Manchuria brought him back to China to cover the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905) for the New York Globe.[2]. The New York Times sent him to cover the Balkan War in 1912.[1] In 1914, he was arrested in Mexico City while covering the Tampico Affair (1914) and the United States occupation of Veracruz for Everybody's Magazine.[1] General John Pershing persuaded him to take on the task of press accreditation for the American Expeditionary Force (AEF). In this period, he was accorded the rank of Colonel.[1]

Excerpt from book: Ill AND FOUB PBOVE ENOUGH Oh, you foolish adults with work-stiffened imaginations ! Between trips to the house of death, Mrs. Hawkins warned the "poor dear" not to cry, for his pa had only gone to sleep. In truth, Billy had not shed a tear, a fever of wonder, awe, and agony having dried the ducts. With his knees on the rag-carpet cushion of a cane chair, he watched the coroner's jury congregate, one by one, proceed in a body to their duties, and one by one depart. Then came the undertaker from Wewland Centre and the inquiring neighbors, with "do tells." Half hidden behind the curtains he heard their greetings and speculations. They "wondered" what would become of the boy; they had "hearn tell" that Williams had "perty much" run through everything he had, and what he hadn'ta witticism this, in a knowing whisperJim Hawkins had got; they "guessed" that the outlook for the "little shaver" was "perty bad" and he'd have to be "bound out" to somebody for his "keep." That is, "onless" Judge John Williams, of the neighboring county, should take a hand. But the Judge had never had any association with his brother. A "curyus" man, said a Whig. There politics was interjected. "Curyus!" exclaimed a Democrat, in sarcasm. "D'ye ever hear him speak ? He wiped out twentysix hundred Whig majority in Belmore, that's what he did. He's the youngest jedge Belmore ever had. Curyus! He's jest curyus 'nough to be Governor of this State some day." Even while they discussed this rising statesman, a mud-bespattered buggy from the Newland Centre livery-stable drove up. "That's a good mare you've got, Ed," said the passenger, as he alighted, as if he had known the driver all his life instead of two hours. "How're ye, Jedge ?" said his defender, his waist receding and his chest swelling. ... --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Excerpt from book: m THE NIGHT OF VICTORY Yesterday the Japanese lanterns were telescoped; to-night they are alight; to-night Tokio hears only of victory. All day the men who sell the extras have been hurrying through the streets, their cries drowning the decorous tinkle of their little bells. Bulletins, the size of a sheet of note- paper, have been sweetmeats to the public, whose stomach could not have surfeit of such news. This we do know: The cruiser Variag and the gunboat Korietz are wrecks at Chemulpo, and Admiral Togo has dealt a telling blow at Port Arthur. Much more we hope, wanting to believe every happy rumor that ink makes on paper and sends broadcast with clarion voiceprice, one sen. The Japanese does not cheer until he has won. To-night the population of the town seems twenty times what it was the night war began. Tokio, having something to be proud of, opens its doors and shows its head. The little Buddhist images, withfar-off, subtle smiles, wake up and blink. The paper-windowed houses that husbanded doubts and fears and the tense expectancy of a people who think of their Emperor's fortune before their own, send their occupants forth, if not to merry-making at least to walk up and down. Streets that were dark last night dance with globes of yellow light to-night. The Japanese lantern does not belong in a land where you read from left to right horizontally, but to a land where you read from right to left perpendicularly. The lantern goes with the people, their houses, their costume, and their manners. You must come to Japan to understand the lantern; you must be in Tokio on the night of victory to realize that it is a living thing. In columns of twos and threes?? ill-lighted city serving a pictorial endwinding in and out through the streets ran the yellow balls of ...
