Newman on Switzerland"
At the National Yesterday.
r M. NEWMAN, lecturer and o
most interesting talker, yester-
day travel-talked with a large
audience through Switzerland, the
land of the Alps and famous for its
Winter sports.
Arriving in the Engadine, on the
side of Switzerland nearest Germany
and Oberammergau, which was COW
cred by Mr.. NeWman'S lecture last
week, we first got a view OF the
enhancing scenery and the majestic
grandeur of the Swiss Alps. Next
we stopped at st. Moritz, known to
all Americans for its Winter sports,
skating, tOboganning and skiing.
Outstanding and most interesting
perhaps in the travel-talk of yes
terday was a visit to Basel, a very
small village, especially interesting
because Yehudi Menuhin, the child
violinist was at this time studying
there. Mr.. Newman showed very
interesting motion picture of this
famous 14-year-old boy, first, in the
garden playing with his two sisters
and a little dog, just as any other
boy of his age might, and then was
shown the house where this boy
played his violin. Mr.. Newman call
ing attention to the expression on his
face as he, played.
During the second part of the
travelogue we were taken to the
Mountain of st. Bernard, whence
famous, ponderous dog derived its
name, and to the monastery nest
ling on the side of this mountain.
Here were shown motion pictures of
the monks and dogs saving a mans
life. This picture, Mr.. Newman ex-
planned, was taken quite by acct
dent and Mr.. Newman's photog-
rapher was able to obtain truly

the same kind of an animal that it
was in the original.
Much has been said as to why
this Preston Sturges comedy is so
successful. Great minds are said to
have guffawed over its naughtiness.
Lesser minds have been more or less
unstrung by its precociousness. But
whether it unSettles or unbends or
merely entertains, it is certainly
one of those all too rare evenings
in the theater which one feels is
entirely juStifiable. And the entire
family may view it without mishap,
since its ingenious "sophistication"
is palatable to all ages-after the
ABC years have been reached.
The theme cannot be defined with
any kind of justice to the original.
1t concerns the impetuous romance
of a young Southern girl who tries
to love not wisely, but too well-and
doesn't get away with it. Reversing
the tactics so common to lotharios
down through the ages, Mr.. Sturges
has flung his delightfully."- naive hero
inc at the feet of her man" and
watched her growl while the man"
runs out on her. The symbol of
this is a teddy-bear decorating
the apartment of the Italian singer
to whom the girl has been so anxious
to capitulate and whose CLASSY stare is
all she has to console herself with
for having been left precipitously
at the very altar of desire.
When the well meaning judge says
to the girl finding her in the apart
ment of the fiery Italian, II think

ANT|-U. S. TREATY
DEN|ALS ATTACKED
Probe Relating to British
Mission to Brazil in 1918
Is Asked.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 16.-Investi-
cation of the assertion that there were
no documents in the secret archives of
the State Department relating to the
British mission of Sir Maurice de Bum
sen to Brazil in 1918 was asked yester-
day by George Henry Payne in letter
to Senator William E. Borah as head
of the Foreign Relations Committee of
the Senate.
Payne, in a recent book England
Her Treatment of America" charged
that the De Bunsen Mission attempted
TO negotiate treaty with Brazil hostile
to interests of the United States.
Statement Denied.
De Bunsen and John Barrett who at
the time was head of the Pan-American
of the statement. Barrett said he was
fully informed of the activities of the
British mission.
In his letter to Borah, Payne said:
MAY I call your attention to the fact
that representative of the State De-
partment is quoted in an important
New York paper as saying that there
are in the State Department no evil
dences or documents of the anti-Amer-
lean de Bunsen treaty which I have
publicly charged was being negotiated
with Brazil in 1918 when we we're an
ally of Great Britain. 1t is true that
Sir Maurice de Bunsen has, in an
evasive and not entirely frank state
nlent, said that he knew nothing of
such treaty, but his statement, on
analysis, really denies nothing"
Says U. S. Had Evidence.
Payne then charged that photostatic
copy of de BunSen'S negotiations with
Brazil was turned over to the State De-
partment in 1913
LAS we were then at war with Ger
many and evidences of Great Britain's
duplicity would probably have aroused
the country, it is Understandable that
the State Department at the time would
suppress the evidences of this intrigue"
he wrote
ut is not, however. conceivable that
any one in the State Department should
have destroyed this evidence no matter
how necessary it may have been to sup
press it at the time"

Two days later Fisher addressed

Fisher still showed smiling confidence.
The slump was only temporary, and re-
