Arthur Henderson, British Statesman, Enemy of War, Dies World Disarmament Conference Head Sucetimbs-Noted Laborite Leader London, Oct. 21 (Pi Arthur Henderson, implacable foe of war, died without knowing his great dream of world peace had been shattered by the boom of guns in East Africa. Attaches of the West End Nursing Home where the president of the World Disarmament Conference died last night disclosed today that Henderson whose indefatigable crusade for peace was inspired by the death of his eldest son In the World War had not seen a newspaper for six weeks. Nor had the 72-year-old statesman been told of the mounting European crisis for fear the shock would prove too great. Scores of the nation's leaders intent on forging Great Britain's foreign policy where he left off in 1931, when the Labor Government fell, paid him tribute as a gentle, beloved idealist known as Uncle Arthur.

George Lansbury, who succeeded Henderson as chairman of the Parliamentary party in 1931, said: "I wish his passing might induce statesmen of the world, even at this late hour, to call a halt in the mad race of armaments." The death of Henderson, who started life as an ironmolder in Glasgow, Scotland, marks the passing of the first of a coterie of humble-born British workmen who dedicated their youth to the upbuilding of British labor in the pre-war years. Henderson, who less than a month ago underwent an operation, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1934. Mrs. M'Anile Dies; Cousin of llvl.in Mrs. Susan McArdle, 96.

McArdle and until a few weeks ago kept up her own home at 10 Prospect Park Southwest. She was born in Greene County. New York. Two of her brothers were killed in the Civil War. She aided in war work during the Civil War.

Her husband was a veteran of the war. Two grandchildren, Mrs. Peel and Mrs. Grace Walker, and a daughter-in-law, Mrs. John Clark, survive her.

Services will be held at 8:30 p.m. tonight. Burial will be in Cypress Hills Cemetery. ADVERTISEMENT and thoutandt uttermg lroa Diabetes tuv found rrhei la Nfounrain Valley Mineral Water direct I Tom Urn out Ht Spr i pi, A an a a i I 1 a I ka li ne. Naturally corrective.

The regular re-li ship was crushed in the ice, two other parties failed to reach them rnd when, in 1881, the Arctic released its icy grip only six men and and their leader were left. Nor was the homecoming a pleasant one.
