George Oakes
George Washington Ochs Oakes (October 27, 1861, Cincinnati, Ohio – October 26, 1931) was an American journalist. Born George Washington Ochs, he legally added the surname "Oakes" in 1915 out of outrage at the sinking of the ''Lusitania'' by a German U-boat.
==Journalism career==
Ochs was born to German-Jewish immigrants, Julius and Bertha Levy Ochs, in Cincinnati, Ohio. Brother of fellow journalist Adolph Ochs, George Oakes was educated at the University of Tennessee, where he graduated in 1879. Oakes began his career in journalism as a reporter for the Chattanooga ''Daily Times'', of which he became general manager in 1896.
In 1900, when ''The New York Times'' decided to issue a daily edition at the Paris Exposition, Oakes was placed in charge of the enterprise; and his work met with such favor that he was decorated by the President of the French Republic with the cross of the Legion of Honor. In 1901, when ''The Philadelphia Times'' was acquired by his brother, Oakes became vice-president and general manager of the new company, and conducted the paper until its amalgamation with the ''Public Ledger'', when he became general manager of the consolidated publications. Oakes remained publisher until the paper was sold in 1913 to Cyrus H. K. Curtis.
On the outbreak of World War I, Oakes attempted to enlist in the army, but was refused admittance due to his age. He persisted, and signed up as a private in the 9th Coast Artillery, New York National Guard, and served from 1917 until the Armistice in 1918. At this time he became the managing editor of a new ''New York Times''-owned magazine, ''Current History''. He also edited the ''Times' Mid-Week Pictorial'' and served on the ''Times'' Board of Directors.
