 DIES AS AN EXILE'
Blasco Ibanez, Sp,ni,rd Who
 Opposed King, Was Diabeic
DEATH COMES FROM COLD
Most Famous Work 0f Author Was War Novel ''The Four Horsemen
 Of the Ap0calypse"-Lived in

Mentone France, Jan. 2S R- Vicente Blasco Ibanez, famous Span- ish novelist, died at his villa here at 3:3O o'clock this morning. a pcli- tical exile. His son Igfrido, who hurried here from Valencia, Spain. and arrived at l 8. m. was the only member of the Ibanez family pres ent at the bedside.
 Was Diabetic.
 1banez. who was a diabetic, caught cold few days ago. The cold settled in his lungs and bronchial pneumonia developed. Yesterday his condition gradually grew worse.
 Specialists who were summoned gave little hope for the authors re- covery. They remained all day at his bedside and at midnight, Ibanez' breathing was less labored. It was feared. however. that because of his critical condition this improvement was only temporary.
 Death Wins.
 Three and half hours later death won the battle with the writer who had gone into exile for denying a king.
 Ibanez returned to Fontana Rosa, his home here a few weeks ago from Paris. He immediately began to work on plans to make the property surrounding his villa a retreat for the writers of the world, wishing to leave it as garden of novelists."
 He had not been in good health, but lahored industriously to realize his dream. He talked of little else during the last few days until he was forced to take to his bed by his illness.
 His Works. Ibanez. who first gained promi- hence in America through his novel of the war "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" also planned fur ther literary work. One of the books he had in mind was to deal with the crusadcs and another the mysteries of the inquisition. Vicente Blasco Ibanez, after at- taining world wide renown as a novelist. attracted attention as an opponent of King Alfonso and the administration of government in Spain. His caustic attacks against the king led to his conviction for Lese Majeste but Ibanez kept out of reach of the Spanish government by exiling himself in France. OppOsed King. The purpose of his campaign against the ruler and other govern ment officials, including Primo De Rivera, the military dictator of Spain, the novelist admitted in sev- eral of his pamphlets, was to over throw the monarchy and have set up in Spain . republican form oi government.
 Tt is not the military directory but the degenerate Alfonso who is mainly responsible for the troubles l in Spain and the catastrophe in Morocco" Ibanez wrote in one oi the early manifestos of his cam- paign. Never has history shown 6 monarch more deceitful and lesi powerful than the cruel and faith. (Continued on Page 14.)
