New York, N. Y.?With the death of Arthur Brisbane Christmas morning, the world lost its most widely known and most widely read newspaper writer and editor. The veteran commentator, whose column "This Week" appeared regularly in this newspaper, died of heart disease while he slept. He was seventy-two. True to the Brisbane tradition, he kept up the terrific pace of his work to the last. When he was stricken late in the afternoon of Christmas eve he had almost finished his column. "Today." which appeared in many large daily newspapers, principally those of William Randolph Hearst's string. He was forced to call upon his son. Seward. 22, to complete it. It was the first time in his life Arthur Brisbane had not finished what he had set out to write. .Millions of Readers. It was only a few hours afterward Mr. Brisbane fell asleep in his Fifth avenue apartment. At his bedside were his physicians, Dr. Leopold Slieglitz and Dr. Frederick Zeman, and a nurse. In the apartment his entire family had gathered?his wife. Mrs. Phoebe Brisbane, whom he had married in 1912; his son, seward. and his four daughters. Mrs. IB JWQa-' : ARTHUR BRISBANE J. R. K. McCrary, 23; Emily, 18; Alice, 14. and Elinor, 12. The great editor never awakened. Probably no one knows how many millions of persons read Mr. Bris- j bane's verse, analytical comments upon the news of the day. It is esti- ! mated that 25 millions read his daily column. Additional millions followed j wnn satisfaction the weekly column i syndicated by Western Newspaper Union to this and many other leading weekly newspapers. Mr. Brisbane was wealthy. It is reported that his yea-?y salary at the time of his death was $260,000. In addition, there was the return on his extensive real estate holdings. Arthur Brisbane was born in Buffalo, N. Y., in 1864. He attended the public schools and then, forsaking a college education, he became a reporter on the old New York Sun at 19. Yet his rise to the position he held in the world of journalism at the last was not the Horatio Alger type of success story, writh glory crowning the hero after countless tear-jerking tribulations. He was good and he was successful from the start. "Greatest Journalist of Day." It was not long before he was the Sun's London correspondent. After five "ears, there was a shake-up on the paper and the management caDiea mm to return- He said he would if they made him managing editor. Managing editor! He was just 23. They made him managing editor. And so well did he execute his job, Joseph Pulitzer took him over to the New York World, which, under the Brisbane directorship, soon became -he most influential organ of public opinion in America. When William Randolph Hearst came from California and bought the New York Journal he hired Mr. Brisbane?at a reduction in salary of almost SO per cent. But there was j an agreement that as the circulation increased, so would his compensation. His earnings on the World were multiplied in almost no time. The association with Hearst became a life-long friendship, and Mr. Brisbane soon became regarded as next to Mr. Hearst in importance in the chain of newspapers. When he died, Mr. Hearst said: "I know that Arthur Brisbane was the greatest iournalist of his day." t, Murphy, N. C., Thursd it -it ~k \\Canruyn N REVIEWL by GdUw/uL ID. ? Western Sc< Chiang Is Free Again; Soong May Be Premier p HIANG KAI - SHEK. generalissimo of China and its dictator, is back in Nanking. Marshal Chang, who held him prisoner in Sianfu for I two weeks, also is the Nationalist j capital, avowedly repentant and ready to submit to any sP, ? punishment.

V. boong sued a statement, directed to his kidnaper, commending his change of heart and promising to use his influence to obtain leniency for him; and Chang also gave out a statement admitting his grievous fault. These developments would seem to have quieted down the Oriental situation, but there is another matter that threatens continued trouble. This is the prospect that Chiang may decide to confine his attention largely to military affairs and to make Dr. T. V. Soong, his brotherin-law, premier. Soong, who used to be minister of finance, stands high among those who favor a strong foreign policy, including resistance to further encroachments by Japan. Therefore it is easy to see that his elevation to the premiership would greatly annoy Tokio and might easily bring about an open break between the two nations. Since Marshal Chang is one of those demanding war with Japan, it is rumored that the appointment of Soong was the specified reward for his release of Chiang and submission to discipline. Arthur Brisbane, Noted Journalist, is Dead A RTHUR BRISBANE, one of the foremost newspaper editors and writers of the time, and the highest paid, died in his New York residence of coronary thrombosis at the age of seventy-two. The millions of Americans who have read faithfully his columns, "Today ' and "This Week," mourn his passing. An indefatigable, able and often brilliant worker, he continued his journalistic labors almost to the hour of his death. Born in Buffalo, N. Y, Mr. Brisbane at eighteen joined the staff of the New York Sun as a reporter. Shortly after he went to Europe for five years to complete his education and became the London correspondent of the Sun. From that time he advanced steadily in the profession. For the last 39 years he was employed by William R. Hearst. He had been ill for some time but characteristically concealed his condition from all but members of his family and died in the harness, as he would have wished to do. Air Li"er Crashes; Twelve Perish A NOTHER big air liner, the third to meet disaster in a month, crashed against the top cf Oak mountain, twenty miles from Burbank. Calif., and hurtled down into a ravine, a mass of tangled wreckage. The twelve persons aboard were all killed. Threp nf nin* passengers were women. The plane, a twin motored Boeing, was operated by the United Air Lines and was on its way from San Francisco to Burbank. Condition of Pope Pius Is Growing Worse j nuuntsa 01 me illness of Pope * Pius was followed with great anxiety, for it was admitted at the Vatican that he was steadily growing worse and was suffering intense pain. The paralysis was spreading along the left side and arm, and one report said his physicians declared science could do nothing further for him. After the Christmas eve radio message which the pontiff insisted on giving he fainted. Financial Status of Farmers Improving A MONG the numerous governmental reports at the year's close that of M. I. Myers, head of the farm credit administration, is interesting and encouraging, showing that the outlook for the finani cial status of farmers for 1937 is | bright. During 1936 the total loans ay, January 7, 1937 ^^yyiU\ Picka/uL^ * >r->l<r Union. to farmers by the various FCA agencies were $670,000,000 compared to $1,060,000,000 in 1935. The decline reflected a decrease in the "emergency demand" by farmers for assistance from federal agencies, because they "had no other source of credit after the depression," Myers said. Roper Urges Census of the Unemployed CECRETARY OF COMMERCE ^ ROPER in his annual report to the President and congress urged legislation for a census of the unemployed. It has been estimated that such a census would cost between 15 and 25 million dollars and would provide jobs for 25,000. Said Mr. Roper: "Although approximately 6,000,000 unemployed persons have obtained gainful work since March, 1933, and the number of unemployed is steadily diminishing, the federal government must co-operate with state and local agencies and industry in making work available whereby the unemployed may provide a livelihood for themselves and their families." I Mahatma Gandhi Again Prodding the British CILENT for two years, Mahatma ^ Gandhi once more comes into public notice with a speech tending to increase the opposition to British rule in India. He ?ST spoke at an indus- I trial exposition held in connection with W the annual session of the All-India National congress, the vSBjf ' members of which were already agitat- ||^3PWv5Sl^ ing in favor of inde- jr "jSggtesSr pendence. Said the BySyjSr -Show me the Mahatnla way. I am prepared Gandhj to go back to jail again. I am prepared to be hanged. "If you do all I want you to do Lord Linlithgow (British high commissioner for India) will say, 'I am wrong. I thought you people were terrorists, and, if you like, \vc Britishers will go back on the nex: steamer.' We would then say to Linlithgow and the British, 'India is big enough to hold you and more like you.' "That is my swaraj .self-government under native influence)." Jawaharlal Nehru, in his presidential address to the congress, warned the British his countrymen would not be "parties to an imperialist war." Adolf Hitler Is Defied by Madrid Government WHEN the German steamer Pclos was captured by Spanish loyalists at Bilbao because it carried war munitions supposedly destined for the Franco forces, the Berlin government demanded its release under threat of reprisal. But the Basque authorities defied Hitler and decided to hold the vessel. This put up to the fuehrer the decision as to whether he would send to the rebels the 60,000 armed men they have asked, and all Europe waited uneasily for his answer. It was believed Hitler would avoid war measures in this crisis, and both Great Britain and France were hopeful that he would preserve peace because they have offered to help his economic and colonial needs in return for nonintervention in tne Spanish conflict. However, informed German sources said the Anglo-French note sent Christmas, urging a cessation of German volunteer enlistments for Spain had come too late, and that Germany will permit and even encourage a continuance of such enlistments. Hans Vor. Seeckt, German Soldier, Is Dead f EN. HANS VON SEECKT. who died in Berlin at the age of seventy, was one of the really capable commanders in the World war. While acting as chief of staff to Field Marshall Von Mackensen he was responsible for the great defeat of the Russians at Gorlice, and he planned the campaigns that resulted in the collapse of Serbia and Rumania. After the Von Kapp putsch of 1920 Van Seeckt was made commander - in - chief of ihe German army which he built into an efficient force. Later he helped to train the Chinese National army. That Sick Perplexity I F IFE is only puzzling to the I person who gives nothing to it. The doctor tending the sick does not wonder why he is alive and what it is all about. The mother bringing up her children to strong and clean citizenship is not worried by the futility of life. It is life's debtors, those who take everything and give nothing, who find themselves faced with a sick perplexity of the soul. More men lall through ignorance of their strength than through knowledge of their weakness. "On My Left?" Here is a Bret Harte story?told by Hamlin Garland ir. "Companions on the Trail," who heard it from the lips of William Dean Hcwells: "Bret Harte was a careless vagabond," said Howells, "improvident, but highly amusing, and we all liked him. He was always in debt. It fell to me on one orra sion to present him as a lecturer in Tremont temple (Boston) and when I called at his house I found him in the custody of a constable. Harte explained without apparent concern, that his tailor had sent the officer to collect payment for a suit of clothes, and the constable saicj to me, "This man shall not give his lecture without handing over his feel' Thereupon, Harte invited him to ride with us to the hall and sit on the platform. This he did." continued Howells, "and so, as I rose to present the speaker, 1 had on my right a hand a distinguished novelist, and on r,iy left the constable ?Harte being the least perturbed of the trio." only LUDEN'S MENTHOL COUGH DROPS will do these 3 things... and all for . . .
