American Legion officers announced

Importance of Brevity.

The next essential is brevity. The
best news story is the one that tells
a. given story in the fewest possible
number of lines consistent with read
ability.
The last of my three essentials is
'readability.' Reportorial writing is
an art in itself. The news story is
written for the average man and
woman. and the average man or
woman doesn't want to have to use
a dictionary in reading it. In a word.
it should be so written that, when it
has been read, the reader will have a
picture of the events described clear
ly in his mind. and may pass on with
the mental comment 'Well-that's in
tereSting.''.

WAY TO SUCCESSFUL
| NEWS WRITING SHOWN
NewRold Noyes Addresses Class in
Journalism at George Wash
ington University.

The technique of "the straight news
story" was discussed before the class
in journalism at George Washington
University yesterday afternoon by
Newbold Noyes of the editorial de-
partment Of The Evening Star Mr..
Moves emphas sized the ideals of the
profession and, pointed to the qualities
that must be possessed to assure the
success of those who were preparing
to enter it's ranks.
Newspaper as Person.
Il look at the paper he said, 'tas
person. The news columns l think of
as the body of that person, the edito-
rial columns as his brains and the spe-
cial features as his clothing. The body
may be strong and wholesome and Wig
orous and clean, or it may be weak
and unwholesome and sluggish and
dirty. Whatever it is depends largely
upon the brain Of the newspaper, which
is its editorial policy. And the body
of the paper is, in turn. dressed in its
raiment of special features. which are,
like clothing. essential in these days.
But. like clothing, they may be called
upon TO serve variety of purposes,
either to adorn the body while reflect
hide the body of which one is ashamed
padding it when it is weak, covering it
because it is dirty. Like people, the
bodies may be dressed in good taste
or bad taste, in clean garments or soil
ed. conservatively or fiamboyantly.
There are three main characteristics
essential to the construction Of good
news story. These are-in what l re-
gard as their relative Importance
accuracy, brevity, reliability.
"The successful newspaper men of
today guard the regulations of their
papers for accuracy as jealousy as
they guard their own for probity. If
L could give you one point to carry
away from my talk this afternoon it
would be this: Develop the repIta-
tion in your careers as journalists
that will lead all men to say: I know
it is true-Jones wrote it, or L know
1t is true-I read it in Jones' paper
That way lies true journalistic sue
cess.

Congress Has Necessary Power.

And. Of course. Judge Hazel was
right, for no statute of that character
does exist, but Congress since has
been requested repeatedly by the De-
partment of Justice to enact one. All
statutes to curb radicalism or revolu-
tionary doctrine and the power of Con-
gress to make laws limiting the rights
of free speech and free press in order
to protect the United States govern
ment and the people of America from
by decisions just handed down within
the last fortnight by the Supreme
Court of the United States. Justice
Holmes. while delivering q dissenting
opinion in the case of a particular de-
fendant charged with a violation of
the espionage act In circulating
]eafet of disloyalty during war time,
made this significant pronouncement:
Il do not doubt for a moment that,
by the same reasoning that would
justify furnishing persuasion to muir
der, the United States constitutionally
may punish speech that produces or
is intended to produce a clear and
imminent danger that it will bring
about forthwith certain substantive
evils that the United States constitu-
tionally may seek to prevent. The
power undoubtedly is greater in time
of war than in time of peace. be-
cause war opens dangers that do not
exist at other times
Justice Holmes went on to say that
the publishing of opinions for the very
nurpose of obstructing the processes
IF the government would constitute
an attempt to create danger for the
government. Indeed, any effort to
Change the mind of the country by
means of constitutional amendment or

gress, but any attempt that includes
physical force and violence as means ms

Eight States Protect Themselves.
But if Congress is careless itself
about the matter of rad1calism de.
spite the high sounding speeches that
have been made by the politicians,
the states of the Union are not SO
backward, though only eight OF them
have good laws to protect themselves
against anarchy and radicalism. Good
state laws are 10 De lOuuu III Sdh-
fornia, Indiana. Michigan. New York.
Ohio, Pennsylvania. Washington and
West Virginia, but these must be sup
plemented by federal statutes to gath
er in all the anarchists and revolu-
tionists in the country. Incidentally,
it is upon the states that the federal
government relies chiefly for detec-
ton of crime. New York city alone
has 1000 policemen. all of whom are
charged with the duty of investiga-
ton, while in the Department of Jus
tice under an appropriation granted
by Congress the maximum number of
men engaged in investigating the vio-
lations of all the laws of the United
States is limited to about 500 for the
entire United States.
Everybody knows that the treaty
of peace could have been debated and
voted upon in half the time that was
devoted to that subject in the last
session of Congress, yet vital matters.
such as the domestic safety, were
calmly ignored by the republican ma
jority. which controlled both houses
and compelled adjournment.

WARRINGTON, Nov. Assistant Sec
retary OF State Phillips. said to-day In O.
letter to Senator wadsworth IN. IL
that no blockade existed against Russia
SO far as the United States was con-
cerned. but that II is the policy of this
Government to refuse export licenses for
shipments to Russian territory under
Bolshevfk control and to refuse TO cleo r
vessels to Petrograd, the only remain
ing Bolshevik port. .....
Mr.. Philhpss letter was in answer to
an inquiry for Information by the Sem
ator. The Assistant Secretary explained
that the measures taken cannot con-
tinue after the ratification Of peace un-
less there is new legislation.
The policy OF, ,pon-inyercourse with the
Bolshevists, Mr.. Phillips said, is based
on two considerations. one Of them being
that II is the declared purpose of the
Bolsheviks to carry revolution through.
out the world. They have availed them
selves, the Secretary said. of every op-
portunity to initiate In the United States
a propaganda aimed to bring about the
forceable overthrow Of our present form
of Government.
The Bolsheviks have a largo amount
OF gold, some of II being what Ia left oi
the rest Rumanian gold which had beer
stored in Moscow for safe keeping by
the Rumanians at the time of the Ger.
man advance. 1t is important that thit
gold be not allowed to get into the
United States through commercial trans
actions.
The other consideration is that the
Bolsheviks have nationalized all foreign
trade and have maintained a system Of
discrimination in the distribution of foot
with view to wipe out the middl,
classes and to give the Red army thre,
times as much food as the civil popula

to say that he had intended to vote Cor
the treaty. with reservations but he
was much impressed by the argument
of Senator Borah and said that IL con-
vinced that Senator Borah was correct
IN his analysis he never could vote to
ratify the treaty with Article x. In II.
This brought further development OF
the argument by Senator Borah. Sem
ator Lenroot tWis,) took the other
view and insisted that no dangerous
power was conferred on the President
under Article x as modified by the
committee reservation.
McCormick's Contribution.
The discussion brought Article x to
the center of the stage again. That
prominence was decidedly accentuated
by little contribution that Senator Nc
Cormick Ii.) made TO the crossfre Of
debate. When Senator Borah was argu-
ing that the whole league scheme con-
templated this kind OF contribution OF
mi itary and naval power to accomplish
its ends. Senator Mccormick observed
that the cables from Paris already were
proving that this view was entertained
there. They say that the Paris authori-
ties are even now drawing up detailed
plans under which American participa-
tion in joint military and naval enter
prises may be made prompt and ef.
fective.
