DAVID LAWRENCE whose articles on the po-
)tical situation have been attracting much fa-
- vorable continent among readers of the Mis-
souran is one of the most remarkable journalists
of the day. He has made unprecedented repu-
tation as an interpreter of political conditions.
Mr. Lawrence is young man. Only six years
ago he was a reporter for the Associated Press in
Washington. He had the same assignments that
other representatives of other associations and news
papers had, but he distinguished himself very early
in the game. He displayed an uncanny faculty for
telling the news in advance. He forecast the trend
of national events
Finding press association reporting little con-
filming, because press associations want verified
facts rather than stories about what is going TO
happen next week and next month, Mr.. Lawrence
accepted place as special correspondent of an
eastern newspaper.
During the war this young journalist was almost
the only one in Washington who could be depend
ed upon tell regularly in advance of all official
announcements just what President Wilson was 60
