By
Heywood Broun

of 1911 and the late fall Of 1916. Like
the Yale football team, Mr.. Mencken is
somewhat addicted to the belief that
few plays, carefully rehearsed and
drilled, are enough for any attack. At
given signal his words will simply fly
into their accustomed places without
further prompting. He has only to
think "tenors" and "fat" comes bound
ing to its side, or "spinsters," and "of
both sexes" rushes into position like q
veteran tackle in q Minnesota shift.
Sometimes there is feeling that Mr..
Mencken uses some set play too often.
Whenever he needs short sure laugh
he sends "beer" plunging through or the
word which he regards as the next fun
niest in the English language, "dill
pickle" Even the stoutest and most
steadfast words can be battered out of
utility. "Tacky" is good adjective
but not quite so good the fifteenth and
sixteenth times
Possessing from the time of his
christening down to the present day one
of the nimblest wits in America, Nj
Mencken has hobbled it in formula He
writes contemptuously of those authors
who seek the appreciation and attention
of "the boobery" rather than the in
terest of the intelligent few, and he
puts these pieces in The Smart Set.
We don't know just what sort of in
suit is intended when anybody is called
"a journalist" but it seems to US that
Mencken attempts to make each critical
judgment fall into such striking form
that it might stand as a front page
lead beside the latest murder yarn. Our
enjoyment is generally modified little
by the fear that he will break his
knuckles with so much pounding.
In Prejudices second series, we found
an essay on the new South called 1.-THE
Sahara of the Bozart," and we were
much fascinated at first by the follow
ing denunciatory paragraphs: "If the
whole of the late Confederacy were to be
engulfed by a tidal wave tomorrow, the
effect upon the civilized minority of men
in the world would be little greater
than that of a flood on the Yang-tse-
kiang"
1t seemed n fine ringing defiance
until an uneasy feeling came over US
that he had said almost the same thing
somewhere else about the Pacific Coast
or Kansas, and still more uneasy
feeling that if he hadn't he would use
it next year about Ohio, or Greenwich
Village or Union Hill. In other words.
the opinions of H. l.. Mencken have lost
something of the bite which they ought
to carry from the fact that because of
his sInartness no one knows, not even
II. L. Mencken, when he is expressing
an opinion and when he is just per-
forming a stunt

The story is of grown-ups and their

The story is Of grown-ups and their
doings.
There are many possibilities for
the development Of highly spe-
cialized film industry. The fairy
stories, Mother Goose, the fascinat-
ing experiences of the youth of all
nations, folk lore, understandable
historical facts-there is scarcely
any end to the subjects that could
be filmed for children's eyes. It
would seem possible for moving pic
ture producers to cater to the needs
of children with profit to themselves.
In the mean time the example Of
the Junior Cinema Club might be
followed by already established or
CARNATIONS that make child welfare
serious study. Young minds need
caring for, as we'll as young bodies,
and much depends on the kind Of
thing that is given them to replace
forbidden pleasures.
New-York tribune., 1920-12-01
"Movies" for Children

A number Of New York mothers
have organized to secure a movls
censorship for children. They have
come to the conclusion that it is
possible to make cinema entertain
mcnt n thing Of JOY and beauty for
children, and propose to meet the
need rather than merely to prohibit.
At present, although children are
the most enthusiastic supporters Of
the moving picture thcatcrs, there is
little effort made to produce pictures
suited to their age and understand
ing. This is true Of the whole range
Of picture houses. At the better
thcatcrs the type OF picture is on a
higher plane than the common hcc-
tic and lurld reels, but aside from
the news reels or "A few films there
is seldom told screen story that
has any distinct appeal to children.

The Case for Toll EXEMPTION

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Si,: In your editorial of Sunday on
the Panama Canal tolls, it seems that
yon have inadvertently missed the
principal point of the entire question.
The paragraph in the treaty that you
reprint states specifically that the OBJ
)cct OF the entire provision is chat
there shall be no discrimination against
any such nation or its citizens or sub
jects in respect of the conditions or
charges of traffic or otherwise"
1t is obvious that discrimination is
not possible unless there is some one
to- discriminate against. The point is
then, who was Disseminated against
V as repealed in 1913?
This act did not, as you infer, give
free Iassage to all our ships while col
lectlng tolls from ships of other ma
tlors." The exemption applied only to
sCcn American vessels as were engaged
in American coastWise trade But this
class of trade is an American monop-
oily, made 80 by American law which
prohibits any other but American YES
sells from engaging in such trade This
being so and the question being there
fore, purely domestic one, we are
free to prescribe the rules, regulations,
restrictions and privileges under which
this trade may be carried on without
lmpnirlng the rights or privileges of
any other nation.
Since, then, the exemption applied
only to vessels engaged in coastwise
trade, and since none but American
vessels can legally engage in such
trade, it is not clear how American
shipping is given any advantage over
the shipping of any other nation, or
bow there is any discrimination, since
tHcre is no one to discriminate against

The Battle of Cork
Some Frst-Hand Testimony Support
ing Admiral Sims
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I read both Admiral Sims's &C.
count and Father Dufy's hearsay AZ
count in The Tribune regarding the
Battle of Cork, so-called by men who
were more directly concerned with the
trouble.
l served on the Burrows, one Of The
destroyers based at Queenstown, from
July, 1917, until June, 1918; when we
were transferred to Brest for convoy
duty in connection with bringing in
troopships. Admiral Sims wes right.
We were deprived the pleasure of Wis
iting Cork, town which offered the
sailors somewhat more for recreation
than did the smaller place of Queens
town, where We were forced to stay
and enjoy ourselves as best we might,
with what little it had to offer in the
way of amusements.
| remember distinctly one night We
were at the Club and were compelled to
tainment was concluded. Upon COM
ing out we found that there had been
quite row in town, our shore patrol
lad been attacked by men from the
barracks near the town, who. with
bayonets, met the patrol with night
sticks, but the navy men drove off the
Irishmen before many sailors could be
brought together, or there might have
been serious results. | doubt if this
was caused by the mere fact that we
were going with their girl friends, as
these men of the barracks were seldom
with the other sex; it seemed to me
and to others, at the time, that there
was something bigger behind the af-
fair.
l can vouch for the other members
of the crew of the Burrows who saw
service in Queenstown to the fact that
they were disguised with the attitude
the Cork populace took toward the men
of the United States Navy. These men
have no sympathy for the Sim Fem
ers or their cause. Money was spent
as only sailors could spend it, and It
certainly was not to the interest OF
the people Of Cork themselves to drive
us out.
The difference in the Cork affair and
other troubles which have occurred be-
TWEEN men Of the service in foreign
countries is that there seems to have
been some higher authority pushing
the matter besides just the natural re-
suit of the mixing Of different peoples.
During the' stay in Brest, from June
until December, 1918. I did not see
fight between United States men and
the French; nor in Liverpool, where
we were drydocked for ten days or
two weeks at time, was there any or
ganized trouble as appeared in tho
Irish town. AN EX-SERNICE MAN.

The Police Breakdown

Impulses to crime have increased
in the wake of the war the world
around. The need of an increasing
police force, of an increasingly eff
ficient police iorce, has grown cor
spondingly. In the face of this
public peril, this urgent necessity,
the New York police force has been
weakened to a point approximating,
in respect to the prevention and
punishment of crime, a complete
breakdown. When it should have
been at its maximum of power it
has been demoralized and it's
strength dissipated.
Every citizen is aware that the
open season cf murder and burglary
and thuggery is on. What is not
known and what The Tribune chief
ly endeavored to determine in the
investigation, and is now publishing
to its readers, is the source of this
extraordinary collapse. Why are
100 murders committed since Janu-
ary / still unsolved? Who disinte-
grated and demoralized the admir-
able and efficient organization
which Arthur Woods built up? And
why?
=. The Tribune has but just begun
this story of the breakdown of a
police force. Final comment may
well be postponed until the complete
truth is on record for such action as
may be necessary by the community.
New-York tribune., 1920-12-01
Mr.. Wilson's Mediation

President Wilson'S acceptance Of
the invitation to mediate with Kemal
Pasha to stop hostilities against the
Armenians is not likely to excite hos
tile criticism. The President ex-
plains that the mediation must be
personal to the extent that it will not
imply the use Of American forces or
the granting of any material aid to
the Armenians. He will function in
this matter as he has already been
functioning in drawing the bounda-
ries of the Armenian state, whose in
dependence the Allied powers expect
to recognize sooner or later.
Most Americans have keen sym
pathy with the Armenans, because
the latter have long been perse-
cuted Christian race, in bondage to
the Turk, and because they suffered
unspeakable outragcs during the
war at the hands Of the Turks and
the Germans. The Armenians were
pro-Ally and not only fought the
Turks on their own soil, but contrib
uted troops for the Allied campaign
in Palestine Since the armistice they
have had to maintain a desperate
struggle not only against the Turk
ish Nationalists, but also against the
Russians in the Caucasus.
How is Kemal to be persuaded to
leave the Armenians in peace? He
recently struck a truce with them,
after they recaptured Kars. The
changes in the Near Eastern situa-
ton brought about by the prospect Of
Constantines return to Greece make
kenal dominant figure in what is
left Of the Turkish Empire. Greece
having dcfaultcd as an agent for the
execution Of the Sevrcs Treaty, that
treaty seems already .moribund.
None Of the principal powers has
ratified it. Neither has the Sultan's
nominal government in Constanti-
nOple. In order to effect settlement
in Asia Minor the powers win prob
ably now turn TO Kcmal and the Ma
tionalists. If large Anatolian
state is set up, reincorporating
Smyrna, Cilicia, and possibly Adalia,
and anti-Sovict in policy, Kcmal may
be willing 10 conccdc the creation Of
an Armenian buffer state between
the new Turkey and Soviet Russia.
| Mediation with the Allied powers
( in fact, offers the Turkish National
lists greater advantages than fight
ing them. A consolidated Turkish
state in Asia Minor, with the sup
| port Of Entente nations, could live
on for years. a Turkish state at
tachcd 10 Red Russia would soon fall
into anarchy and economic ruin.
Mr.. Wilson's mediation need not
involve Ehe United States in any bur-
