Machen, 81, Creator
Of Mons Legend, Dies
BY the Associated Press

BEACONSFIELD, England, Dec.
15.-Arthur Machen, "a, the British
novelist who originated the World
War I legend of THE Angels of
Mons" died today in nursing
home.
Deeply affected by the Battle of
Mons, in which 5000 British soldiers
died, Mr.. Machen wrote a wholly
imaginative short story, 1.-THE Bow
men," in which st. George and a
host OF ancient English bowmen
succored the British army and
routed the Germans.
The fantasy aroused great in
terest, and soon there were whispers
that it was true. Later some soldiers
who survived the battle said they
had seen visions of the bowmen In
the sky.
Among Mr.. Machen's best known
works were 1.-THE Hill of Dreams
and Secret Glory" both of which
were especially popular in the
United States. J
Born in Wales, Mr.. Machen went
to London in his youth and earned
meager living as a cataloguer OF
occult books, an experience which
probably led to the vein Of fantasy
which colored his writings.
Despite his literary successes, he
never earned great wealth. In
1882 he was granted a $400-a-year
pension by the King for dis
tinguished service in the arts.

succeeding Gen. Bramwell Booth.
Gen. Higgins was the first man
outside the Booth family to head
the Salvation Army. He joined the
movement at 10, and spent nine OF
his Al years of service in the United
States.
Before his residence at Fair Oaks
he lived at High Oaks, near Plain
field, Salvation Army home for its
retired officers.
A son, Edward of Montreal, was
reported en- route to make funeral
arrangements. Gen. Higgins widow
the former Miss Catherine Price
also lives at High Oaks.
Gen. Higgins was born in 1864 at
Highbridge, Somerset, England, and
joined the Salvation Army in 1882.
Gen. Higgins and his wife, also
connected with the Salvation Army
were married in 1887. OF their seven
children, four became Salvation
Army officers.

Senator, Friend Of
Edison, Dies al 81
BY tho Axsoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Dec 14.-Arthur
Walsh, 81, former Democratic Sem
ator from New Jersey, died Satur-
day night. He was a confidant Of
the late inventor, Thomas A. Edi-
son, and his son, Charles, former
New Jersey Governor.
Mr.. Walsh, executive vice presi-
dent of Thomas A. Edison, Inc, Of
West Orange, N. j., died at Me-
mortal Hospital where he was adj
mitted December 2 for an operation.
A brother, Frank E. Walsh, said
the former Senator underwent an
abdominal operation December 8 for
a growth the family suspected was
cancer and that the widow had au-
thorized an autopsy because it
might help others, something that
Arthur always wanted to do"
Mr.. Walsh. a native Of Newark.
N. j., began his association with the
Edisons in 1915 when the inventor
hired him to play violin at the
same time an Edison phonograph
was playing record, the idea being
to demonstrate the clarity and tone
OF the monograph. The inventor
noticed Mr.. Walsh had a keen bust
ness mind and took him into the
business.
In 1910 Mr.. Walsh was campaign
manager for Charles Edison at the
time he was elected Governor.
Gov. Edison appointed Mr.. Walsh
to the Senate November 26, 1913, to
fill vacancy and he served until
December 7, 1914.
In 1884 Mr.. Walsh took q leave
from the Edison company to become
New Jersey State director for the
Federal Housing Administration. He
remained with the agency until 1898,
eventually becoming assistant ad-
ministrator in Washington.

all the admirable qualities Of the
traditional John Bull. Conservative
in politics, successful in business
and steadfast churchman. he did
few things spectacularly, but
carried on" steadily with whatever
he undertook.
Believed in U. S. Friendship.
He was a firm believer in the in
herent nature of British friendship
with America. He preached that
CLOSE collaboration" between the
two nations would rid the world of
war, although he acknowledged that
sit might take 100 years" to bring
this about.
Lord Baldwin was born at Stour-
port, Worcestershire, August 3, 1867.
His father, Alfred Baldwin, was an
iron master, director of the Great
Western Railway and member OF
Parliament for Bewdley, the con-
stituency which sent the son steadily
to Parliament from 1908 onward.
Through his mother, he was a
first cousin of Rudyard Kipling and
of Sir Philip Burne Jones, son of
the noted painter Mrs. Baldwin
and the mothers of the other two
were daughters of the Rev. G. B.
Macdonald, a noted Wesleyan cler-
gyman. He was educated in the
upper-class tradition at Harrow and
Trinity College, Cambridge.
First elected to Parliament In
1908, he served as Prime Minister
from May as, 1923, to January %,
1924; from November 6, 1924, to
June 4, 1929, and from June 7, 1885,
to May %, 1887. He described the
post as the "loneliest job in the
world
| Earl Baldwin was one Of the first
Englishmen to realize the menace of
Naziism, and on July 81, 1894, cleo
trified the House of Commons with
the assertion that "Britain's new
frontiers are on the Rhine"
He is survived by two sons and
four daughters. His wife died two
years ago.
| Cremation Is to take place in Bir-
mingham Wednesday or Thursday.
In 1926 Lord Baldwin smashed the
general strike in Britain and then
refused to take punitive measures
against the organizers. He also was
I instrumental in giving 5000, 900
women the vote by his equal fran
chise bill, which put all women from
81 to 80 on the polling lists.
Gift Reduced National Debt.
In May, 1929, the voters, including
women, voted him out of power and
the late Ramsay Macdonald came
in as head of Labor government.
One of the little known incidents
of his life was his anonymous gift
to Britain after World War I of
one-flfth of his estate for the re-
duction OF the national debt.
In recent years Earl Baldwin had
lived quietly at his estate, making
only rare visits to London. His last
public appearance was at the I'M
yelling of the King George v
memorial in the capital two months
ago. He had been suffering from a
slight cold for three or four days
before his death.
The heir to his title Is Viscount
Corvedale, Labor member of the
House of Commons, whose elevation
to the House of Lords will cause a
by-election for the Commons seat.
