The death of Mr. Edward 0. Drake, Departmental Manager of the 1longkong and district branch of the British-American Tobacco Company, occurred at 7.30 yesterday evening, at the War Memorial Hospital, from severe influenza and heart failure.

Mr. Drake had a serious relapse yesterday and a message was at once sent to the General Pershing, the first intimation to his family of Mr. Drake's Hiness.

By a coincidence, Mr. Robert Bailey, former Head of the British-American Tobacco Company in Chainn, who went to take up an important pont in the London Office a year ago, arrived in the Colony yesterday, and was in time to see his old friend.
