E. Alexander Powell

From 1903 to 1904 he was an advertising manager for the Smith Premier Typewriter Company, based in London, England, and in 1905-1906 he worked in the Near East as a correspondent for British and American publications.

[2] Powell worked as a war correspondent during World War I and his position as a neutral allowed him access to both sides of the battle lines, from 1914 onwards.

With the entry of the United States into the Great War in 1917, Powell was commissioned as a captain in military intelligence.

He was injured in September 1918, and convalesced until the Armistice in November of that year, thereafter returning to the US.
