MENCKEN 81 SHAW: The Anatomy of Amer
ica's Voltaire and England's Other John
Bull. BY Benjamin de Casseres. New York:
Silas Newton, Publisher.
THE book was written, am told to prove
that Shaw is a mountebank and that
Mencken is the true modern Voltaire.
Coming out from the tumult of it. ones first
impression is that butcher knives and bludgeons
are not the tools of logic, not the instruments
of conviction, Of persuasion. And in this case
certainly, these are the weapons-yes, that is
the right word-of this quite famous writer
who has elected high encomiums from a siz-
able group Of Observation-Disclosures Ellis,
Cabel and some more.
Mr.. de Casseres gives Bernard Shaw short
shrift. It doesn't take long to butcher and
bludgeon an animal. SO, there at our feet lies
Bernard Shaw, weltering in his own gore, in
just about no time at all. Not so easy to make
q Voltaire out of Henry L. Mencken Hardly
any one but this particularly daring man would
have tried that which the Creator himself OBJ
'viously never did have in mind concerning this
Voltaire- Mencken complex.
Benjamin de Casseres is an interesting man,
with all sorts of high reputation for culture,
quality, essence and the rest Of 1t. Honest
that is plain Primitively brutal-that also is
plain. Thinking him over by the way of this
book, one reaches the point that all this time
De Casseres is talking about himself-hammer-
ing what he thinks about life and the universe
into some part Of the anatomy Of one or the
other Of these two subjects. Parading himself
his quite remarkable self-by way of these
conscripts at his hand. A vlcarious perform
ance through which Benjamin de Casseres
busters his way into another open door of OBJ
servation.
News comes that man is starting great
publishing house for the sole purpose Of putting
Mr.. de Casseres across to the above-average
public. Well a man has right to do what
he win with his own money.

sAvINELLI. BY J. Chartres MoIony. New
York: The Dial Press.
TT Is the way of the author with his words
that gives lure to this story. And, after ALL
1t Is the quality of the writer that counts quite
as much as it is that which he has to say.
Now here Is a tale Of no great heights, no
great depths. Just an account Of the meeting
of two men in the World War. The story itself
comes later, when these two come together
again In Normandy, the home of one Of them.
Following is, simply, picture of every aspect
OF life In that quarter The habit Of the plain
folks, the look of the land, the ways in which
the country has shaped the minds and the
outlook Of the people. Not much, you see, but
It is delightfully."- given-for the author himself
is that kind Of man. man who sees pretty
much all that is going on, who enjoys the most
of it, who Is amusing as well as shrewd in his
appraisals; q man who, by virture of these gifts,
turns that corner Of France over to us for our
own enjoyment. Yes, there is plot. There
Is even a mystery one that brings to the front
the Corsican, Savinelli, detective Of sorts.
That Is quite as plausible as mystery stories
are designed to be. 1t is, however, the land
itself and the people thereof that give this
novel valid claim to ones attention through
the authors competent and interesting seizure
Of them.

NAVAL TREATY
IS LASHED AS
WAR BREEDER
Secrecy of London Farley
Stirred Bad Blood, Is
Mcclellan Charge.
ByUnitcd Prcss

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, July 16.-Charges
that negotiation of the London
naval treaty almost brought on a
war between France and Italy were
made on the floor of the senate to-
day by Senator Mcclellan Oem.,
Tenn, in a plea for rejection OF the
pact.
Mcclellan denounced President
Hoover's refusal to disclose all re-
lated documents to the senate.
NO public official" Mcclellan
said. has the right to transact the
peoples business in secret. That Is
why it is not a real peace treaty.
"We almost brought on war be-
tween France and Italy while we
we're making this treaty in London"
He said the secrecy surrounding
the London negotiations had pro-
duced bad blood"
Mcclellan opened his attack on the
treaty with a denunciation of the
Washington arms conference. which
he emphasized was conducted dur
ing the administration of President
Harding and under the leadership
of Charles Evans Hughes.
Senator Shortridge (Rep.. CALI
asked Mcclellan how he voted on
the Washington arms conference
treaty. Mcclellan said he did not
vote. Shortridge then read from
the record of 1922 to show that Nc
Kellar's colleague had announced
when the vote was taken that Nc
Kellar was unavoidably absent, but,
if present, would vote for the
treaty.
My colleague was in error" Nc
Kellar replied, and insisted he had
corrected the record, although
Shortridge showed that the record
still showed Mcclellan would have
voted for the treaty if present.
The Washington agreement was
the greatest injustice ever put over
on the United States, and the Lon
don treaty puts us in an unpar-
donable position of inferiority to
Great Britain he declared.
