WAR CORRESPONDENTS' REMUNERATION.

During the present campaign in South Africa the war oorrespondenti are receiving a higher rate of remuneration than was ever paid in any previous campaign. Not only are they being paid a big salary, but in some oases a handsome amount is given them for their literary work, as well as the right to issue it in book form afterwards. Thus, in one case, that of Mr. Winston Churchill, of the Morning Post, the sum of £800 is paid him for his lotteri alone, whilst all Mb out-of -pooket expenses in South Af rioa are paid, aa well as a salary whioh is nearer £3,000 than £1,000.
