He entered newspaper work in Terra Haute, Indiana where he served as the Daily News’ correspondent in London between 1900 and 1923. Bell was the first correspondent to go to the front with the troops during World War I. He devoted his work in 1924 and 1925 to interviewing leading figures, including President Coolidge, Karl Marx, Benito Mussolini, Ramsay MacDonald, and others. After his retirement, Bell embarked on a world tour for the Literary Digest between 1934 and 1935 to interview premiers and foreign ministers.
