The War Correspondent (1913)
Tom Halsey, a star reporter for the "Daily Press," is sent to the front for news. He is sandbagged by a couple of thugs hired by Bill Baker, a rival for the hand of Mary Gordon. They put Tom in a box car, which is sidetracked near the battlefield. An order has been issued by the commander that no newspaper men shall be permitted to witness the battle, consequently all newspaper men are held in the guard house until the battle is decided one way or the other. Tom is captured after he has seen most of the battle and put in the guard house with the other newspaper men. They beg Tom to give them details of the story, but he refuses, hoping to make a big scoop for his paper. Jack Chelsea, whom Tom had helped when he was broke, has enlisted and is a telegraph operator at the front. He hears Tom through a partition and telegraphs to him that if he will go ahead and tell the story he will telegraph it to his paper. In this way Tom's paper gets the news on the street before any of the others. Tom returns after the battle to claim Mary Gordon.
