White House will place no obstacle

officers at Marine Corps headquar-
ters, while having no definite knowl
edge that the resignation was immi

it had been apparent that the general
wished to continue his Philadelphia
work.
The most recent instance which
might be accepted as a precedent for
action by the President was his ac-
ceptance Of the resignation of Lieut..
Col. Clarence o. Sheriff.. who was
made city manager of the City of
Cincinnati. 1t has been the policy of
the Government to curtail the activi

NEW YORK. December 2o.-Frank
4. Munsey, owner and publisher of
the New York Sun and the Evening
Telegram. died early today in LenoX
Hill Hospital from peritonitis that
followed an operation for appendicitis
nine days ago. Hope was held out
for his recovery until midnight last
night, when he had a relapse, from
which he only slightly rallied. He
lost strength rapidly.
A second relapse came at o'clock
and his death followed two hours and
a half later. His passing was peace
full and apparently without much suf-
fering. Mr.. Munsey was in his sew
enty-second year.
He was conscious until shortly be-
fore he died, and his last thoughts
were those of solicitude for his aged
sister. Mrs. John NJ. Hyde of St.
Petersburg. Fla. He asked that Mrs.
Hyde not be sent for because of her
age and weakened condition. The
publisher made valiant fight for
life and, while realizing his condition,
never gave up hope.
Health Had Been Good.
Mr.. Munsey was in excellent health
until December 13, when he became
III at dinner. All last Fall he had
maintained a keen and active inter

two New York newspa pers. visiting the
offices almost daily and writing edi
torials on the mayoralty campaign.
On the Saturday that he was taken
i'll he visited the Sun office and gave
several editorial directions. He
seemed in the best of health.
After leaving his office. the publisher
went to his country home, at Manhas-
set, on Long Island, and in the eve-
ming came back to the Ritz-Carlton
Hotel. where he had an apartment.
At dinner he complained of not feel.
ing we'll and retired to his rooms.
Mr.. Munsey evidently did not think
his illness of moment, for he did
not summon his physician. DR.. Frank
Oastler until the next day.
Dr. Oastler called in consultation DR..
Sam Lambert and Mr.. Munsey's i'll
ness was diagnosed as appendicitis.
He was taken to the LenoX Hospital,
where an operation was performed.
Dr. A. l.. Garbat assisted at the op-
Grafton.
Recovery Indicated.
The publisher came through the op-

were encouraged by his condition, that
indicated A recovery. During the week
he showed varying changes of improve

and Mr.. Munsey's physicians were
hopeful that he would make a recov-

Near midnight last night Mr.. Mum

much strength, which so weakened
him that when a second relapse came
four hours later he sank quietly away
to his death. At his deathbed were
