his first training in newspaper work. He

During all Of his service in Washing

with the leading men Of each successive

through his personality that the news
service he represents has been accepted
by government officials as the medium for
all important government announcements,
and has come to be regarded as the near
est approach to an official news bureau
that is possible In this country. owing
to the same personality the Washington
