' " : ' w ' .AV iV It-: IM BRITISH DELEGATE SHOCKED BY HEADLINES IN AMERICA While People in United States Get News in Few Words, British Papers Expect Public to Digest Stories. BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE. PUNCH, which a few enlightened Americans always enjoy and oc casionally understand, has been viewing American "newspapers with alarm. Punch has been oblivious to American newspapers up to the pres ent time. Its serenity has never been ruffled by the disturbing knowledge of their existence. But the world is full of a number of things, including the dailies on this side of the water. Sooner or later it was qrdained that the great English comic weekly must be rudely awakened from its blissful dream. It was the delegates to the Wash ington conference that made all the hoi I 1 1 1 1 A Yaotao a vrisrx x At 12:30 Somewhere in Naples, o Fox Trot. .Zamecnic mm Two Songs : A Dream ; g Just Awearyin' for You Request Miss Dorothy Daven- 0 port . .

One of them, a week or two after his arrival in Washington, hap pened to pick up an American news paper. He shuddered and put it down again. Gathering courage, he took another look, then a third?. In all probability he sat down and wrote to the LKindon Times about it. But the old Thunderer is getting progressive lately. Northcliffe has been over here and looked over our newspapers. He has even copied some of their features in one or two of his several hundred publications. So the letter never got Into print. After weeks of disappointment the delegate sat down and thought of the one publication that has" re mained changeless through the shift "THE LIBERTY THIS WEEK WE ARE PRESENTING THE MIRACLE GIRL FROM "THE MIRACLE MAN" IN ALL OF HER DAZZLING SPLENDOR ji'Jl i.

NEWS TWO PART COMEDY ing ages. He took the typed copy of his letter to the Times, altered the superscription and sent it to Punch. He knew it would be taken seriously there. And sure enough it was. What frightened the visitor moBt was the headlines. He had. after his first horror-stricken gasp, glanced through the journal that he had accl dently discovered, and he had copied out many bf the headlines in a big round hand. These he dispatched to the one publication which he felt could do something about it And here are the American head lines that appear in the number of Punch that was specfelly dispatched across the water as a thunderbolt of reform as soon as a search of Lon don turnad up type black enough to print them: WOMAN BANDIT -1 SANDBAGS SIODISTB LURED FROM SLEEP "I HATE TO DO THIS."

These samples, be It said in justice to the delegate, who might have been Lord Lee or Mr. Balfour, were submitted more in sorrow than in anger. The letter containing them concludes with the assurance that America Is not like that. Yet America is a good deal like that. It is in a hurry, America Is. It reserves the right to read the rest of the story If there is time. But while hanging to a stfap or rushing for a train, America wants to know what the news is, and to know It right away. So the boys on the copy desks give It the desired information as briskly a& possible, putting the de tails further down where they may be read and marked and inwardly di gested at America's convenience. The English are different. They are thorough. Headlines to them are only indexes. They don't want to know where they are going until they are well on their way. So they read to the bitter end, and attend to other matters of Importance after the pa per has been assimilated. We will now attempt to reproduce these headlines as they would appear in the London Times or Post, say, or the Manchester Guardian. This is not done In any spirit of girding. It Is merely to give our readers an in sight into the way the British news paper reader's mind operates. In the first place, when you buy a British newspaper no news of any sort is likely rudely to obtrude on your vision. Like gold. It is burled deeo down. After you have delved through the' ads for a while you will find the news.

The American fclyle at least tells you whether It is the kind of a atory you want to read or not. If it is. Into your pocket goes the paper till you get your seat in the car. How many people on this side of the pond do you suppose would have their appetites whetted by the head lines we make bold to print above? And If their appetite for news wasn't whetted, how long do you imagine they would 'continue buying the newspapers? (Copyright by th Betl Syndicate. Inc.)
