We regret to record that Mr. Moberly Bell died suddenly

at the offices of the Times on Wednesday. His connection with the paper began forty-six years ago. For twenty-five years he served as its correspondent in Egypt, and since 1890 he had been manager, and for the last few years managing director. A man of great energy and ability, and boundless capacity for work, he served the great paper with which he was so long and prominently associated with self-sacrificing devotion, and if his enterprise occasionally aroused criticism and opposition, he was a most loyal colleague and a generous and considerate friend.
