This book grew out of a series of articles dealing with wartime interviewing. So many inquiries came to me about my other journalistic experiences that I have ventured to embody most of them in this form. It may appear presumptuous for me to prepare such a volume before reaching one of the later milestones of life. The reason for the intrusion of this personal record at a somewhat early age is that I have always lived in an atmosphere of timeliness. I believe in ma Jcing a record of people and events while they are alive and when the interest in them is keenest. I have met many of the commanding figures of my day. It has been a spacious time crowded with fateful action. Behind all that is written here is a definite purpose. Nearly everybody writes or wants to write. If the narrative can point part of the way to a fruitful contact with the future makers of history I shall feel compensated. I. F. M. New York, October,

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
