He was correSp ondent for the London Times and the New York Herald in the conflict between Greece and Tur- key twenty years ago, and made a reputation, in the newspaper world by the accuracy and vividness of his dis patch es He sscovered'' the Spanish American war for the same papers, and then proceeded to South Africa to report the battles between Boers and Britishers. The Russo-Japanese conflict next attracted his attention. and he made frequent visits to the turbulent regions of Mexico and Eur ope.
 So far as the present European war is concerned, MT. Davis had made no pretentions to a, neutral spirit His contributions to the literature of the war left not the slightest room for doubt that he sympathized with the cause of the Allies. and the New York Staats-Zeitung has characterized him as a t@contemptible poison monger.''
