"Miss Terry will appear in three or

Admission that he may produce "Ben

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.

after his arrival in Washington, hap

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.

He knew it would be taken seriously

through the journal that he had accl

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
