PEACEFUL DEATH ENDS SUFFERING OF NORTHGLIFFE Famous Publisher Passes While Whole Nation Feels Regret. MYSTERIOUS MALADY FATAL Stricken While Traveling, He Lingered, Semi-Conscious, Many Days. By United Press LONDON, Aug. 14.—Viscount Northcliffe died at 10:12 o'clock a. m„ today at his residence, Carlton Gardens. The famous English publisher, who had been on the \ierge of death for over a week, succumbed peacefully in the roof-top bed chamber, which was built to give him the benefit of all air possible. Northcliffe grew worse throughout the night and - scarcely opened his eyes during the long vigil kept by physicians and nurses from a hastily constructed hut on the roof beside his chamber. His Malady Mysterious The publicist, who has been fighting for weeks against a mysterjous malady with which he was stricken on his trip around the world, or while incognito in Germany this spring, was scarcely able to speak during his last hours. News of end after weeks of suffering was a blow to the entire empire. Telegrams of regret and condolence were received by the publisher's family. Influential Figure Alfred Charles William Harmsworth Viscount Northcliffe was the most in fluential and most feared journalistic figure in Europe. He was the owner of over forty publications and wielded more power than many trans-Atlantic prime ministers. He taught the uneducated masses of Great Britain to become newspaper readers and he supplied the news foi the educated intellectuals as well. He was bom July 15, 1865, in Dublin His father wanted him to study for the law. After various experiments he founded his greatest success, the London Daily Mail. Northcliffe real ized the masses were hungry for news and he made his fortune by catering to them. Upper Classes Shocked The middle and upper classes were shocked by the Daily Mall. Even his purchase of the London Times, the ’ most cultured daily newspaper in the world, and his elevation to the peer-; age, failed to give him rank in the so j cial world of London. Northcliffe never cared for society and class criticisms did not bother him. * Northcllffe's political power was In temational. Before the war, he bitterly attacked Lloyd George’s radicalism. Yet once the conflict began Northcliffe realized Lloyd George was best fitted to become war premier. But, when the crisis was over, relations between them ceased to be amicable. Shows Effect of Strain After the quarrel with Lloyd George Northcliffe began to show the effects of the strain under which he had been laboring during the war. He became very erratic. He went Into Germany, disguised, to study con ditlons there. He severely criticized in public the action of his subordinates on the Dally Mail in agreeing wth other publishers to reduce wages. Two of the members of the board of direc tors of the Daily Mail started libel suits against him. Northcliffe is survived by -his wife, whom he married in ISSB. He had no children. His principal heir is ex pected to be his nephew, Hon. Esmond Harmsworth, son of Lord Rothermere Lord Northcliffe will be given a public funeral Thursday noon, with services at Westminster Abbey. The famed publicist will be buried at Saint Marylebone cemetery, following the services at Westminster.

Four members of the Adriatic's crew killed or mortally hurt and a fifth Is believed to have been blown over the side with a hatch cover on which he was snatching forty winks. Three other men were ipjured or seriously gassed. * But the ship’s company, from Capt. H. V.
