Seldes make the claim that the true
history of the rise of fascism in Italy
has been deliberately suppressed. and
that the documents containing it have
in recent years been made to disappear.
The first draft of the present work was
ready for publication in 1881, he fur
ther informs us, and had been ac-
cepted by an English publisher when
protest from the foreign office
caused it to be withheld. He therefore
had access to sources of information
that are now no. longer open to
writer's. To secure data for the period
after 1881. he return to Italy Sc
cretly. being forbidden the country by
governmental order.
His book is merciless attack, from
beginning to end. 1t traces the his
tory of Mussolini from the time he was
a young refugee from military service
in Switzerland up until the outbreak
of hostilities in Ethiopia, and Mr..
Seldes finds his subject everywhere
without virtue. That is to say, he
finds him so in very literal sense.
He accuses him (documenting his
accusations) of treachery to his COM
rades, acceptance of bribes, completely
in murders, personal cowardice. vanity
amounting to frenzy, ineptitude in
crisis, intellectual mediocrity, constant
opportunism, and in short with about
as many kinds of public and private
dishonor as can be imagined. The
book is brilliantly written and even
the reader who is utterly dispassionate
toward the state of affairs in the An
cient City will find it hard to lay
aside. 1t Is fascinating indictment.
Mr.. Seldes, Of course, has not, like
Anatole France, dealt deliberately in
caricature. But his subject has at
least one attribute of caricature, in
that it is an extraordinary situation
the rise of fascism-and caricature, of
course, is best adapted to the unusual.
The reader. following the pungent and
savagely antagonistic narrative, will
see for himself the similarity. It is as

gerated state of Italy's politics a carl

The man who was destined to count
his wealth in astronomical figures was
born under circumstances and in sur
roundings which impaired no hint of
the financial glory which later was to
surround him. Andrew Carnegie first
saw the light of day November 25,

hero's spectacular existence. Another

Italy's present conspicuous position
in the news will, one feels, add interest
to this book, for few of us realize how

nation and with what struggles it

A TOAST TO REBELLION. BY
Giuseppe Garibaldi. Indianapolis: ::
The Bobbs-M Merrill Co.
THE author of this book is the
grandson of the great Italian
patriot whose biography by Paul
Frischauer is reviewed above. 1t is
story of fighting-of fighting in
armies that were usually dedicated

had become obnoxious to a rebelling
people.
A number of countries in this
manner engaged Gen. Garibaldi's
sword. He enlisted first to fight against
the Turks in Greece. He was seven
teen then. He later went to South
America and fought against Castro,
the Venezuelan dictator. In the Boer
War he fought under Kitchener. And
in Mexico he was Madero's chief
of staff in the revolutionary action
which overthrew DiaZ. AS what he
calls "a prelude to Armageddon," he
returned to Europe in 1912 and re-
entered the service of Greece, fighting
against the Turks in the Balkan War.
The book closes with these para
graphs:
''I was in New York in the Summer
Of 1914 ;. . I was preparing to leave
to fight for France, when read in
the papers of my fathers offer to the
French government to raise an italian
Legion of Red Shirt volunteers. :.
1t was to be bitter disappointment
to him, lame and in his 68th year,
that the French war office decided
that I, younger man, should assume
command of the Red Shirts of 1914.
And from China, Egypt, Cuba, the
United States and Italy came seven
Garibaldis, his sons, to follow his lead
and offer their swords to France. Two
were to give their lives.

this book gives some space to an ac-
count of Andrew Bahr'S famous five
year reindeer drive, which is the sub
ject of Miller's whole book. Young
Irwin, it seems, joined the reindeer
party as a herder. O'Briens story is
that he did his work so we'll that the
Esquimo herders became jealous, OBJ
liging him to leave in order to keep
peace. 1t was from this point that
he struck out alone. The episode of
his departure is told somewhat melo-
dramatically. with all the honors fall
ing to Irwin.
The same fault, it must be ad-
mitted, crops up repeatedly through
the book, causing its hero to suffer in
the eyes of the reader. The actual
writer, Jack O'Brien, who, according
to the publishers note, flashed the
news" of Irwin's rescue ito the world"
has overdone his reporting job in this
respect. His accounts OF Irwins suf-
ferings, his delirium from hunger, his
visions of his mother and so on, are
distinctly overtender. Since he states
that his story is 'as told to" him by
Irwin himself these occasional lapses
into self-pity cannot but reflect on the
young adventurer. 1t Is an unfortu-
nate circumstance.
However, the young man made the
journey. That seems indisputable. And
enough happened to him, outside his
personal disasters, to provide consider
able good reading. That is indisputa-
BILE, too 1t is not the very best type
of personal adventure narrative, but
it still can be read with interest.
THE CRISIS OF THE MIDDLE
CLASS. BY Lewis Corey, author
of THE Decline of American Capt.
talism." New York: Covici Friede.
THIS book is an analysis of the pres
ent state of that level of society
known as the middle class" 1t brings
out some conditions which most of us
may have suspected, but on which we
have been without accurate knowledge.
Put as MIR. Corey puts them. they are
arresting and thought-provoking
The factual material alone which his
work contains should commend it,
whether one agrees fully with him as
to the nature of the impending crisis"
or not.
Some of the more striking of these
facts may as well be listed. The mid
die class, says Mr.. Corey, is rs per
cent propertyleSs and therefore is sub
ject to the same social insecurity as
hangs over the workers. 1t has, how
ever, he tells us, nc sense of class
solidarity such as unites the workers
but on the contrary is at war within
itself. Some of its elements derive
income from capitalism, some from
labor, and nowhere is there a solid
basis for the formation of a common
cause. Such condition is bound to
be pregnant of discomfort.
MIR. Corey, having made these points,
then raises the question as to what
the choice of the middle class should
be in these days of rapid change in
established forms and institutions.
Should it follow the example of its fell
lows In Italy and Germany and accent
Fascism? Or should it unite in an
effort to bring about classics So
ciety? This is the crisis, as he sees it,
One would say, offhand, that the
question is too exactly put. It is like
trying to predict, with foot rule. the
course of an avalanche. In other
words. instead Of admitting a sharply

A RECENT literary event that
~ must be Of particular interest
~ to Washingtonians is the pub
lication by Harper & Bros. of
quietly written little story called THE
Woodcarver of Tyrol." Its author is
the Rev. Edmund A. Walsh. S. J..
vice president of Georgetown Uni
versity and founder and regent of the
! School of Foreign Service there. The
i story first appeared in a popular edi-
ton but, so great was the demand
for it and so many inquiries about it,
that the publishers are now issuing
| a limited autographed edition which
in addition to the story itself contains
prologue and epilogue wherein DR..
| Walsh sets down his concept of his
| story and his reason for finally writ
ing it,
1t is beautiful piece of book-mak-
ing in this second form. printed on
archer paper and illustrated with
wood cuts by Harry Cimino and a
portrait of the author by Newman
Sudduth, a Washington artist. Only
800 copies will be issued
The reason for the flood of inquiries
which, after the appearance of the
popular edition, caused DR.. Walsh to
write the prologue and epilogue of ex-
PLANTATION, was the fact that The
Woodcarver of Tyrol" was published
as fiction. 1t is profoundly moving
tale of the effect of war upon family
of simple, peasant folk, the fictional
mother, in her grief over the loss of
her son, becoming elevated at last
to a symbol Of all womanhood that is
bereft through the senselesSneSs OF
battle. DR.. Walsh has hitherto writ
ten only in the non-fiction field. The
! appearance of his name on a work of
imaginative writing at once caused
numbers OF his readers to ask, rs
this story founded in fact? Did the
peasant mother really live?"
| No doubt these questions would not
have been asked if the story itself
had not been able to Stir the emo
tions. Coming when it does, how
ever, at a time when the civilized
world is concerned chiefly about the
likelihood Of another general war, and
dealing with the question in a way
that makes the lasting tragedy of war
terribly plain, THE Woodcarver of
Tyrol' is tale bound to make deep
impression on any thoughtful reader.
There can be no question of its essen
tial truth. In replying to the query
as to its literal truth, DR.. Walsh tells
story.
He was visiting the battlefield of
Verdun in 1921, he relates, searching
there for the grave Of his friend, the
poet Joyce Kilmer. when he wit
messed the scene which first caused
him to think of the story which he
has at last written. That scene took
place in a grim barracks put up by
the French government to house the
bones of the soldier dead until their
lasting monument should be built. 1t
was literally shelter for bones-an
essuary. There was not one unknown
soldier there, but the remains of thou
sands. DR.. Walsh says the building
was haunted by women in mourn
! ing"
livery morning religious service
was held there and, on one occa-
sion, at the request of the chaplain,
DR.. Walsh officiated. It was during
| this service that he witnessed the
scene which first caused him to think

A year, generally speaking, is no great length of time in the develop ment of athletic material but the heavyweight boxing situation has developed two miracles in that pe- riod.
 First, there was the case of Jim Braddock. In less than year Brad dock came back from the ranks of fistic discards to win the worlds heavyweight championship if o m Max Baer And now comes Joe Louis.
 On July 4th Louis celebrated the anniversary of his first profession al ring appearance with the &C., claim of the experts still ringing in his ears for the complete and mas- terful way in which he disposed of the giant Primo Camera in six rounds. Many rate Louis the great est heavyweight fighter of the generation, others go step farther and compare him with the greatest of all time. A year ago he was just another amateur champion with an ambition to make a mark in the pro" ranks.

 Headlining the new shuffle for the St. Paul American Association club, Manager Marty had played every position in the Saints infield before the season was half over.
 His audacity in trying to show some of the boys had found him in pickle the other day. Short stop Bob Boken made two costly er- TOTS to help prolong a bad losing streak that had dropped the Saints from the thick of the flag fight.
 So next day in went Marty at shortstop-and contributed two glar- ing miscues to game that found his club taking it's worst beating of the year.
