zAHAR0FF, MAN OF MYSTERY"
 ID EUROPE
Born in Russia, He Made Huge Fortune and Now Rules Destiny of Nations.
By DAVID NJ. CHURCH, News Service Staff


 London. Nov. 16-The Mystery Man of Europe-Sir Basil Zaharoff!
 Practically unknown in America Sir Basil Zaharom is credited with being one or the few men of great power in Europe.
 Lord Beaverbrook has recently written an article indirectly tracing many of Britafr's misfortunes and misunderstanding in the Near East to Sir Basil.
 The London press which opposes Lloyd George has attacked Sir Basil during the recent Near East crisis and has inferred most strongly that it was due to his influence that Lloyd George backed the unsuccessful and disas- tTous- ventures of the Greeks in Asia Sir Basil zaharoff is credited with having amassed a fortune of some S10O,OO0. He was born in Russia, of a Greek father and French mother. He went to Paris to make his fortune, and he made it. He was made Knight Grand Cross of the Bath by Lloyd George-an unexampled dis tinction for one not a subject of

His holdings in banks and business enterprises spread all over Europe. He is credited with controlling newspapers and even die tatfng their policies. It is even charg- ed that he is a stocl1h older in one of the leading pro-George newspapers in Fleet Street.

 Gives Freely.
 Philanthropy flows from the Za- haroff purse. Numerous French and English universities have chairs en- dowed by this little known figure. He passes from capital to capital, giving generous aims to the poor, and it is charged that he also provides the sin ews of war for kings.
 A bachelor, Sir Basil lives with spinister sister. He has luxurious homes in London and Paris and in other capitals. He is man of great modesty, and his hobby is said to be his wonderful kitchens cooking rare dishes.
 When the late Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson denounced Lloyd Georges pro- Greek policy he said, Why did Lloyd George back them? Was it to please Zaharof?"
 No one knows what power this lit le-known man has, but there are many who believe that Zaharoff is the most powerful figure in all Europe.
