John Foster Bass (geb. 8. Mai 1866 in Chicago, Illinois[1], gest. 16. April 1931 in Tucson, Arizona[2]) war ein US-amerikanischer Kriegsberichterstatter (Kriegsjournalist).

Lebensweg

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

John Foster Bass war der älteste Sohn des District Attorney Perkins Bass Sr. und seiner Frau Clara, geb. Foster.[3] Sein jüngerer Bruder, Robert P. Bass (geb. 1. September 1873 in Chicago, Illinois; gest. 29. Juli 1960 in Peterborough (New Hampshire)), war ein US-amerikanischer Politiker und – von 1911 bis 1913 – Gouverneur des US-Bundesstaates New Hampshire, seine ältere Schwester war die Kunstsammlerin Gertrude Bass Warner (geb. 14. Mai 1863 in Chicago, gest. 29. Juli 1951 in Peterborough, New Hampshire). Die Familie war dank frühzeitiger Investitionen in Immobilien in Chicago wohlhabend.[4]

John F. Bass besuchte die Phillips Exeter Academy,[5] die er 1886 abschloss. 1891 beendete er sein Studium an der Harvard University, 1893 schloss er die Harvard Law School ab, und 1894 wurde er als Rechtsanwalt in New York zugelassen.[6]. Schon im selben Jahr, also 1894, war John F. Bass als einziger US-amerikanischer Reporter in Ägypten und dem Sudan und hat von dort für den Chicago Record vom Mahdi-Aufstand (1881–1899) berichtet.[7]

1895 heiratete er Abigail Bailey aus Cambridge.[8] Das Paar hatte einen Sohn, John Bass Jr.[9]

Schon kurz darauf wechselte John F. Bass vom Rechtsanwalts- in den Journalistenberuf und ging 1896 nach Ägypten, um dort für die New York Times[10] beziehungsweise für die Chicago Daily News[11] über die Feldzüge des britischen Offiziers Herbert Kitchener, 1. Earl Kitchener zu berichten.

Im Vorfeld des Türkisch-Griechischen Krieges von 1896/97 war Bass einige Monate lang auf Kreta, wohin er eine Gruppe griechischer Freiwilliger begleitete, die den Kampf der Kreter gegen die Osmanen unterstützen wollten.[12]

1896 durchquerte Bass inkognito Kleinasien, während dort (von 1894 bis 1896) Osmanen Massaker an Armeniern verübten.[13]

Im folgenden Jahr, also 1897, schloss Bass sich im Türkisch-Griechischen Krieg (3. Februar bis 4. Dezember 1897) erneut kretischen Aufständischen an. Er arbeitete als Auslandskorrespondent für die London Daily News und das New York Journal.[14]. Zusammen mit Richard Harding Davis (1864–1916) von der Zeitschrift Harper’s Magazine erlebte er in Thessalien die Schlachten von Velestino (27. bis 30. April und 5./6. Mai 1897) aus nächster Nähe aus den griechischen Schützengräben heraus mit.[15]

Offenbar verstand sich John Foster Bass nicht als neutraler, unparteiischer Reporter, sondern griff auch selbst in das Geschehen ein: John Foster Bass freundete sich mit dem griechischen Staatsmann Eleftherios Venizelos (geb. 23. August 1864, gest. 18. März 1936) an, unter dessen Ägide Kreta 1913 mit Griechenland vereint wurde.[16] Als eine internationale Flotte 1896 die kretischen Festungen beschoss, wählten die Rebellen Bass dazu aus, für sie mit den Alliierten zu verhandeln.[17] In einem Gefecht im Rahmen der Schlachten von Velestino zwischen Griechen und Osmanen auf Kreta leitete Bass das Gewehrfeuer der griechischen Infanteristen.[18]

1898 kehrte Bass zunächst nach Amerika zurück.[19] John F. Bass berichtete aus dem Spanisch-Amerikanischen Krieg (23. April bis 12. August 1898) für die New York Evening Post[20] aus Kuba und aus Puerto Rico.

1899 berichtete Bass für Harper’s Weekly und den New York Herald aus dem Philippinisch-Amerikanischen Krieg (4. Februar 1899 bis 4. Juli 1902). Im Februar 1899 wurde er in einem der Gefechte vor Manila verwundet.[21]. Einige von Bass aufgenommene Fotografien aus dem Philippinisch-Amerikanischen Krieg wurden veröffentlicht in „Harper's pictorial history of the war with Spain - The Military Expedition to the Philippines“.[22]

Im Herbst 1899 schickte ihn der New York Herald nach Japan, Korea und China; Bass war bereits auf dem Rückweg von dieser Ostasien-Reise, als in China der Boxeraufstand (18. Oktober 1899 bis 7. September 1901) ausbrach und der Herald ihn zurück nach China beorderte.[23] Im Jahr 1900 begleitete er die Militärexpedition der Alliierten gegen die Boxer in Peking.[24], über die er für den New York Herald berichtete[25]. Den Fall Pekings und den Entsatz der von Chinesen belagerten ausländischen Botschaften konnte er vermelden, vierundzwanzig Stunden bevor die US-Regierung in Washington davon erfuhr.[26]

Im Jahr 1901 verließ John Foster Bass die Philippinen und ging nach St. Petersburg, wo er für die Chicago Daily News arbeitete.[27]

1903 reiste er als Beauftragter des New York Herald auf Ersuchen des türkischen Sultans Abdülhamid II. (1842–1918) in das Osmanische Reich, um das Verhalten der türkischen Truppen bei der Niederschlagung des bulgarischen Aufstandes zu untersuchen.[28]

Im selben Jahr wurde Bass zum Fellow der Royal Geographical Society of London gewählt.[29]

Ab 1904 war John Foster Bass in Chicago in der Finanzbranche tätig.[30] In diesem Jahr trafen John F. Bass und seine Frau Abigail den Kriegskorrespondenten Richard Harding Davis in Tokio wieder, den Bass in Griechenland kennengelernt hatte.[31] Während des Russisch-Japanischen Krieges (8. Februar 1904 bis 5. September 1905) leitete Bass die Kriegsberichterstattung der Daily News.[32] 1904 nahm Bass im Russisch-Japanischen Krieg an dem Feldzug mit dem japanischen General Kuroki Tamemoto vom Yalu-Fluss nach Liaoyang teil und war in der Schlacht von Liaoyang elf Tage lang mit der Artillerie der japanischen Kaiserlichen Garde im Feld.[33] Bass wurde Zeuge der letzten Gefechte des Russisch-Japanischen Krieges, einschließlich der russischen Kapitulation in Port Arthur am 2. Januar 1905.

Seine Schwester, die spätere Kunstsammlerin Gertrude Bass Warner, begleitete John F. Bass im Jahr 1904 auf seiner Reise an die Kriegsschauplätze und Schlachtfelder des Russisch-Japanischen Krieges. Auf diese Weise kam sie erstmals mit der Kunst und Kultur Ostasiens in Berührung, die später ein bevorzugtes Sammelgebiet der Kunstsammlerin wurden. 1905 zog Gertrude Bass Warner aus Sicherheitsgründen nach Shanghai, wo sie im Shanghai International Settlement Quartier bezog und einen Bekannten ihres Bruders John kennenlernte, nämlich Murray Warner (1869-1920), wie John F. Bass Absolvent der Exeter Academy, den sie am 1. Oktober 1905 heiratete. Das Paar lebte bis 1909 in Shanghai.[34]

Nach dem Russisch-Japanischen Krieg 1905 kehrte John Foster Bass nach St. Petersburg zurück und blieb dort bis 1915 wohnen.[35] Er dürfte dort die Russische Revolution 1905 miterlebt haben, die bis ins Jahr 1907 andauerte und nicht zuletzt auch durch den von Russland verlorenenen Krieg gegen Japan ausgelöst worden war.

Wie sein Bruder Robert war auch John F. Bass ein Naturschützer. Seit 1909 war John Foster Bass Vorsitzender des Exekutivrats der National Conservation Association und Schatzmeister dieser Naturschutz-Vereinigung.[36] In der nationalen Waldschutzbewegung lernte er den Forstwissenschaftler Gifford Pinchot (1865–1946) näher kennen, wie auch Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919), der von 1901 bis 1909 Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten war.[37] John F. Bass war auch in der Lokalpolitik Chicagos aktiv, unter anderem in der 1893 gegründeten reformistischen Chicago Civic Federation.[38]

John Foster Bass hatte im Jahr 1910 zeitweilig Kontakt mit dem reformorientierten Juristen Louis Brandeis (1856–1941), der von 1916 bis 1939 der erste jüdische Richter am Obersten Gerichtshof der Vereinigten Staaten war.[39]

Während des Ersten Weltkriegs (1914–1918) berichtete er von der Einnahme Warschaus durch die Deutschen (5. August 1915) und wurde 1916 bei seiner Berichterstattung von der russischen Seite der Front verwundet. Nach seiner Genesung berichtete er über Feldzüge des Ersten Weltkriegs in Frankreich, Italien – wo er im Regierungsauftrag tätig war[40] – und auf dem Balkan, und schließlich von der Pariser Friedenskonferenz 1919.[41]

1920 erschien John F. Bass' Buch „The Peace Tangle“, 1921 sein gemeinsam mit Harold Glenn Moulton (1883–1965) verfasstes zweites Buch „America and the Balance Sheet of Europe“, beide befassen sich mit der wirtschaftlichen und politischen Lage Europas nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg, den amerikanischen Krediten für Europa, den deutschen Reparationszahlungen und verwandten Themen.[42]

John Foster Bass starb am 16. April 1931 in Tucson, Arizona, im Alter von knapp 65 Jahren. Bestattet wurde er entweder auf dem Pine Hill Cemetery in Peterborough, New Hampshire[43] oder auf dem Rosehill Cemetery in Chicago, Illinois.[44]. Vermutlich ist sein tatsächliches Grab in Chicago, während es in Peterborough nur eine Gedenkplatte für ihn gibt.

JOHN F. BASS DEAD; NOTED WAR WRITER

Correspondent of Chicago Daily News in Conflicts From From 1896 to 1918.

WITH KITCHENER IN EGYPT

Witnessed Massacres in Armenia Disguise—Saw World War in France, Italy and Balkans.

Special to the New York Times

CHICAGO, April 16. — News of the death in Tucson, Ariz., of John F. Bass, famous war correspondent of The Chicago Daily News, was received today. He was 64 years old.

Mr. Bass was a native of Chicago, began his newspaper career in Europe in 1894 and became a recognized authority on international events. In that year he was in Egypt with Kitchener's army and several months later covered one the occasional insurrections in Crete.

In 1896 he traveled in disguise through Armenia to witness the massacres. He witnessed the Cretan general rebellion of that year and the Greco-Turkish war of 1897, and became the close friend of the Greek Statesman, Venizelos. When an international fleet bombarded the Cretan forts in 1896 he was chosen by the rebels to negotiate terms for them.

Mr. Bass was author of "The Peace Tangle" and of "America and the Balance Sheet of Europe". He was a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society of London and a member of the Explorers' Club of New York and the University Club of Chicago and the Chicago Athletic Association.

He is survived by a widow, a son, John Foster Bass Jr.; his mother, Mrs. Perkins Bass of Peterboro, N.H., and a sister, Mrs. Getrude Bass Warner of Eugene, Ore. His home was at 200 East Person Street. - Adtmitted to the New York bar in 1894, the year of his graduation from the Harvard Law School, Mr. Bass soon found practice was not to his taste, for he was in Eygypt with the British a few months later, beginning his work as a war correspondent. Thereafter he missed few of the conflicts worth reporting. He was a correspondent during this country's war with Spain, the Philippine insurrection of 1900, the Bulgarian uprising in Macedonia in 1904 and the Russo-Japanese War, was with the Russian Army in Poland and Galicia in the first year of the World War, and afterwards successively with the allied forces in France, Italy, and the Balkans until 1918, when, after performing a government mission in Italy, he remained on the American and French fronts in France. Since 1909 he had been chairman of the executive council of the National Conservation Association and treasurer of the association.

BASS, JOHN FOSTER (1866–1931). The largest contingent of war correspondents covering the 1897 Greco-Turkish War* for any one paper was from the New York Journal led by John Foster Bass from Chicago. He had prior experience on the front lines as the only American press representative covering the Egyptian-Sudan campaign in 1894 for the Chicago Record. Bass later covered the Spanish-American War* for the New York Evening Post and then the subsequent Philippines campaign for the Journal. He left the Philippines in 1901 for a posting in St. Petersburg for the Chicago Daily News. During the Russo-Japanese War* he headed the Daily News war coverage and witnessed the final engagements of the war, including the surrender at Port Arthur. Following the war he returned to St. Petersburg, remaining until 1915. During World War I* he reported the German capture of Warsaw and was wounded while covering the Russian front in 1916. After recovering from his wounds he covered campaigns in France, Italy, and the Balkans. He also took part in various government missions and covered the 1919 Peace Conference.

JOHN FOSTER BASS. Is a war correspondent. In December, 1897, was in the Greek war. At the fall of the block house at Malaxa he and the insurgent leader, Mamos, saved the lives of the Turkish garrison. A full account of the event may be found in the Illustrated London News of April 17, 1897, or in the Harper's for November, 1897. In 1898 was in the Philippines as war correspondent for Harper's Weekly. In February, 1899, was wounded in one of the engagements before Manila. Remained in the Philippines until early in 1901. He then became engaged in literary work in Chicago. In 1903 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society of London, and in 1904, of course went to the Russian-Japanese war.

Probably no man in the class has had such exciting experiences as John Bass. Beginning with the Soudan campaign, where he was brought up short by the fever, he followed the Greek war where he and R. H. Davis were the only men who got into the trenches ; the Cretan rebellion, the Phillipine war, the march to Peking, and the Macedonian revolts. He got the news of the fall of Peking and the relief of the embassies twenty-four hours before the government at Washington knew of it. This was one of the greatest scoops ever made by any war correspondent. In the last Japanese-Russian campaign only two men, John Bass and Dinwiddie, saw the battle of Liao Yang, the one big scoop of the campaign.

John Foster Bass, elder son of Perkins and Clara (Foster) Bass, has won unusual distinction as a war correspondent of New York and London papers. He is a graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy, 1886, Harvard University, 1891, the Harvard Law School, 1893, and was admitted to the New York bar in 1894. He went to Egypt in 1896 for the New York Times, following Kitchener’s campaign until correspondents were barred. He accompanied a revolutionary expedition in the island of Crete, remaining some months in the latter part of that year, and later traversed Asia Minor during the Armenian massacres, facing many dangers. In the year following, he again joined the Cretan revolutionists, representing the London Daily News and the New York Journal, and having most dangerous and exciting experience. Next he was in the Greco-Turkish War and present in many battles. Returning to America in 1898, he followed the Spanish-American War and was, during the next year, in the midst of the Philippine insurrection for Harper’s Weekly and the New York Herald. In 1900, for the Herald, he accompanied the allied relief expedition to Pekin at the time of the Boxer rebellion. In 1903 he went as special commissioner for the Herald, at the request of the Turkish Sultan, to investigate the conduct of the Turkish troops in the suppression of the Bulgarian insurrection. The year following saw him with General Kuroki in the memorable campaign in the Russo-Japanese War, from Yalu to Liaovang, being in action with the artillery of the Imperial Guards for eleven days in the latter great battle. He has important business interests in Chicago, in which his brother is associated, and maintains an office and residence there, but has just completed a splendid summer home of granite and cement—one of the most substantial in the state, near the base of Pack Monadnock, in Peterborough, where he has a large tract of land. He is married and has one child. He is a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society of London and a member of the University Club of Chicago.

Reunion of the descendents of William Smith, 1906

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

The military register of the family would be incomplete without mention of the remarkable career of John Foster Bass with the armies of Southern Europe and the Orient.

He spent over a year in Greece (1897-8) as war correspondent of British and American publications, going through the Cretan rebellion and the Greco-Turkish War. During this war he joined a company of Greek volunteers to help the Cretans in their contest with the Turks. After that he was about two years in the Philippines and was slightly wounded in one of the battles there. He accompanied the American forces to Pekin in the Boxer insurrection, and sent the first dispatch which reached this country announcing the safety of the embassies.

In 1903 he went to Turkey for Mr. Bennett of the N. Y. Herald, at the request of the Sultan, to investigate the condition of the Turkish army and disprove statements made in this country regarding outrages committed by the Turks.

He is now with the first division of the Japanese army in Manchuria, under Kuroki.

In this life of exposure and adventure he has displayed in a conspicuous degree the qualities out of which great soldiers are made. He is the son of Perkins and Clara Foster Bass, and represents the fourth generation from William Smith.

John Foster Bass, ’91

John Foster Bass, LL.B. ’94, died at Tucson, Ariz., April 16, 1931. He was well known as a war correspondent of leading American newspapers, in which capacity he had served in various parts of the world. After his graduation from the Law School he began the practice of that profession in New York City, but, as he wrote in one of his Class reports, he “gradually drifted into newspaper work.” In the spring of 1896 the New York Times sent him to Egypt, where he joined Kitchener’s forces; then he went to Greece, and took part in a filibustering force which carried arms to the Cretan revolutionists. In the autumn of that year he was a member of an expedition which investigated the massacres in Armenia. Early in 1897, when the Cretan rebellion broke out again, he went to that island as correspondent for the London Daily News and the New York Journal; a few months later came the Greek war, and he covered it for the Journal. In 1898 he went for Harper's Weekly with the first military expedition to the Philippines and remained there for several months. In the fall of 1899 the New York Herald sent him to Japan, Korea, and China; he was on his way home when the Boxer uprising broke out, but the Herald ordered him back to China, and he joined the allied forces in their campaign which resulted in the capture of Pekin in 1900. In 1903 he went, for the Herald, to Macedonia, and investigated the conduct of the Turkish troops in suppressing the Bulgarian insurrection. In 1904, during the Russo-Japanese War, he joined Kuroki’s army in Korea and Manchuria.

In 1905 he returned to this country and took up business in Chicago. Four years later he became chairman of the executive council and treasurer of the National Conservation Council, and thereafter continued that connection. When the World War broke out he attached himself as a newspaper correspondent to the Russian armies in Poland and Galicia, and afterwards was at the front with the Italian, French, and American armies.

He was born at Chicago, May 8, 1866, the son of Perkins and Clara (Foster) Bass, and prepared at Phillips Academy, Exeter. In 1895 he married Abigail Bailey of Cambridge; she survives, with a son. His mother, a sister, and a brother, Robert P. Bass, ’96, also survive.

...contacts of Robert’s older brother John (b. 1866). John Foster Bass was an active, intriguing character. Never sharing Robert’s interest in being permanently settled, he lived in Chicago from where he participated in a range of national and international activities. The Bass estate was substantial enough for him to have freedom to pursue a variety of interests; he took advantage of this. John Bass was an adventurer; he was a war correspondent who covered most major and minor conflicts in this pre- World War I period, including the Boxer Rebellion and the Russo-Japanese War. Like Robert he was a conservationist; John was active in the national forestry movement, through which he became friends with Gifford Pinchot and Theodore Roosevelt. John Bass also was active in Chicago affairs, including the local reformist Chicago Civic Federation. John then provided Robert with a variety of cosmopolitan connections, supplementing the latter’s own ties, primarily those of Harvard.12 ...

„...They had no uniform to protect them ; they were under sentence to be shot as spies if captured by the Spaniards, and they were bound, not by an oath as were the soldiers, but merely by a sense of duty to a newspaper, and by a natural desire to be of service to their countrymen in any way that John F. Bass offered. ...“

A brother [of Gertrude Bass Warner, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gertrude_Bass_Warner], John Foster Bass, was a noted journalist, war correspondent, and author, first, for the New York Journal and later throughout Eurasia for the Chicago Daily News, the Chicago Record, and Harper's Weekly. During his time working for Harpers, Warner journeyed to Asia for the first time in 1904, living with John in the foreign enclave quarter of Shanghai while he covered the Boxer Rebellion in China.[5] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gertrude_Bass_Warner [5] Roth, Mitchel (1997).

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

„... Gertrude Bass turned this situation to her advantage. Her courage and wealth provided the foundation for her later achievements. Her attraction to art and foreign culture—and the inspiration of her brother John Foster Bass (1866-1931),[2] who after building a successful career as a journalist had become a seasoned war correspondent for various prominent U.S. newspapers and journals—motivated her to take her next step. ... In 1904, when [her son] Sam was nine years old, Gertrude accompanied her brother to Japan, where he went to cover the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905) as a correspondent. In the following year Gertrude left for Shanghai, which John deemed safer for her and her son. He introduced her to his friend Major Murray Warner (1869-1920), an engineer of the American Trading Company, who as a lieutenant of the Shanghai Volunteers had protected American citizens during China’s Boxer Rebellion against the foreign imperial powers in 1900.[3] In the same year, Gertrude and Murray got married. A year later, Gertrude had her household effects sent to Shanghai, where the family lived until 1909.

While in China (and during multiple return trips in the 1910s and 1920s), Gertrude traveled extensively in Asia, exploring China, Korea, Japan, Cambodia, and India—in the company of her husband and, after his untimely death, in the company of American artists Maude Kerns, Elisabeth Keith and Helen Hyde ...“

»1. John Foster Bass (1866–1931) was a distinguished war correspondent and journalist in Chicago. He also had an interest in conservation and was the chairman of the Executive Council of the National Conservation Association. Bass and his brother (see next note) had accompagnied Glavis to the offices of Collier's and, according to Hapgood's autobiography, announced: "As Secretary Ballinger, Attorney General Wickersham, and President Taft have all turned down Glavis's report on the stealing of public domain that is going on, we have decided to go straight to the public" (Changing years, 182).

2 Robert Perkins Bass (1873–1960) went into New Hampshire politics after attending Harvard Law School. He was elected governor for one term in 1910 and continued activity in various conservation organizations.«

„John Foster Bass, war correspondent, was also of the opinion that the Allied indebtedness to this country would never be paid, but suggested that it be employed to bring about disarmament. He declared that there were more soldiers in Europe to-day than there were before the war. He added that "he looked with misgivings on the advance on the Rhine," and said that it could result only in the realization by the French people that there was no money in Germany.“

The Class of Ninety-One.

Following will be found the names of the class of ninety-one who had been admitted up to the beginning of the week. It is safe to say that the class will be fully 100 stronger when the returns from this week's examinations are all in. Accompanying the names are the post-office addresses given by the students, which generally represent the places where their parents reside. The class exceeds in size all previous ones.

The French on the Somme

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

S. 64:

And then a little incident occurred which brought the scene to a sort of personal climax. For as I stood here, absorbed in its detail, I saw approaching me, racing across the gray waste, like some footballer dashing for his goal, a small black creature, clearly visible, swaying from side to side, yet furiously intent upon its course. I dropped into the trench to the sound of a smashing explosion ; a shower of mud, and a heavy fall as de V_ , who had been following us, rolled over at my feet.

"Nous Vavons echappe belle" laughed C_, brushing the mud from his tunic, and as I did the same a small warm object fell from the folds of my coat.

S. 65:

"It was the wind of the damned thing that knocked me over," said de V , picking himself up, somewhat abashed.

We found the shell on the lip of the trench fuming as if with rage at having failed of its purpose.

We were evidently in luck ; for Mr. Bass, of an American paper — an old campaigner who carries with him a wound from the Russian front — who should have been where it fell, had fortunately dropped a couple of yards behind. The rest of our party, farther off, seeing the shell fall, retired to a dugout, assured that we should never meet again. A pause of a second or two — a yard this way or that, — such is the interval between all that lif e means to us and the bleak oblivion of death.

It is a risk that the soldier at the Front takes every day of his life.
