WYTHE WILLIAMS
One of the world's leading war-correspondents and political writers for nearly three decades and accredited one of the most daring and resourceful reporters of all time, WYTHE WILLIAMS has returned to America to edit his own daily newspaper.  With probably more scoops to his credit than any other journalist, he continues, with his world-wide associations, to scoop the metropolitan press and news-agencies regularly with inside stories from abroad that have made him a national curiosity and institution.

Born in Meadville, Pennsylvania, he attended Ohio Wesleyan and started his journalistic career as a cub reporter on the Minneapolis Tribune in 1905.  He moved thence to the Chicago Examiner and Daily News and joined the staff of the New York World in 1909.

In 1910 Williams went to Europe on a vacation.  He arrived in London on the day King Edward VII died, was immediately drafted into service by his paper and for the next 26 years deferred that vacation while he moved about the map of Europe for the World, The New York Times and the Northcliffe press, also writing special articles for The Saturday Evening Post and other magazines.  During the World War he was eye-witness to every major battle on the west front, secured the great beat on the fall of Joffre as French commander-in-chief and wrote the sensational story of the Nivelle defensive that should have ended the war in 1917 instead of a year later.  He was decorated by the French Government as Chevalier of the Legion of Honor.

In Berlin during the Armstice, he secured for the papers of the late Lord Northcliffe the first copy of the treaty of Versailles.  Following the World War, he covered every meeting of the Supreme Council of Allies and was President of the International Association of Journalists accredited to the League of Nations, also President of the Press Association of Paris.  He covered the World Disarmament Conference convoked by the League of Nations in 1932 and has been actively observing the most important events of the recent European melee.  Possessing an invaluable amount of knowledge on foreign affairs and the ability to analyze past and present events to the extent of predicting future happenings, he has attracted world-wide attention as a prognosticator in world politics.

He is author of Dusk of Empire dealing with decay of European power and editor of the sensational Men Against Hitler revealing the underground movements which have become vital problems to the totalitarian states.
