These he merged into the Times-Union, which he still edits personally at his Rochester headquarters. Thenceforth round, beaming Publisher Gannett acquired other upstate papers, added small dailies in New Jersey, Connecticut, Illinois, briefly entered the metropolitan field by buying and then reselling Brooklyn's venerable Daily Eagle. Nearly two years ago he bought his only magazine, The American Agriculturist, from his good friend Henry Morgenthau...

Chang had ten children, Eng nine. Their descendants are reported still living in the Piedmont...

The German advance wrested them from the political control of France--and quite naturally the German artillery chiefs saw to it that the mines were so protected from shell fire that they could be taken over intact. Thenceforth the mines of the Briey basin were operated for the benefit of Germany--in association with other mines in Lorraine which had been in German hands since 1871 they supplied Germany with some three quarters of the ore she consumed during...
