{"value"=>"<p>Julius Ochs Adler was born on December 3, 1892 in Chattanooga, Tennessee to Harry C. and Ada Adler. Ada was Adolph Ochs' sister. Julius graduated from Princeton in 1914 and then went to work at the <span class=\"title\">New York Times</span>. He joined the Army and was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in April 1917, and in August of that same year was promoted to Captain. He saw action on the Western Front during World War I. By October of 1918 he was a Major and had been awarded the Distinguished Service Cross.</p> <p>Adler returned to the <span class=\"title\">New York Times</span> in May 1919, where he worked alongside his cousin-in-law, Arthur Hays Sulzberger, as an assistant to Adolph Ochs. During the 1920s and 1930s, Adler was in the Army Reserves. When Adolph Ochs died, in April 1935, Adler became the general manager and vice president of The Times, and president and publisher of the <span class=\"title\">Chattanooga Times</span>. He was also one of the three original executors and trustees of the Ochs Estate (the others were Ochs' daughter, Iphigene, and her husband Arthur Hays Sulzberger). With his parents and other members of the family remaining in Chattanooga, Adler initially maintained close ties with the city and the <span class=\"title\">Chattanooga Times</span>, and bore the major responsibility for handling the Ochs Estate's interests there.</p> <p>In 1940 he was reactivated into the Army and became a Commander at Fort Dix in New Jersey. In 1941 he achieved the rank of Brigadier General, and then in September of that same year he was promoted to Assistant Division Commander of the 6th Infantry Division in New Guinea in the South Pacific. Adler was relieved from duty in November 1944 because of illness. He then resumed his position at the <span class=\"title\">New York Times</span>, devoting himself largely to the business side of the paper, spending less time at the <span class=\"title\">Chattanooga Times</span>.</p> <p>In 1922, he married Barbara Stettheimer. The couple had three children: Julius, Jr., Barbara and Nancy. He died in New York City on October 3, 1955, at the age of 62, and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.</p>"}
