He was wounded in 1919 and was thought to be dead for a year, while he was a captive in a German prison camp.
He was a justice of the peace in 1907. His marriage to his first wife was dissolved in 1913, and his two children went to live with Paul Keun in Austin, Texas, while he studied in Paris. After the war he became a journalist, and wrote an award winning article as editor of the Port Arthur, Texas, newspaper in 1920. As a journalist he travelled around the world several times, and at one point was jailed for three months as a revolutionist in Nicaragua. He also visited Leningrad in Russia, fell ill with typhoid in Cairo, and almost starved in Manila.
He was also an accomplished saxophonist who travelled extensively in the USA and Canada with the Tillotson Orchestra. He was credited with introducing saxophones into dance bands. One of his daughters was killed at three years of age by a hit-and-run hotrod driver, and as a result highway safety became his editorial passion. He later lived in Austin, Texas, as an editorial writer for the newspaper 'American-Statesman'.
