DEATH ENDS CHECKERED CAREER
OF BRENNAN, ILLINOIS POLITICIAN
The Devil by Alfred Neumann. Al-
fred A. Knoft. $3.00.
Alfred A. Knopf again picked an
impelling manuscript when The Devil
by Alfred Neumann was selected. A
person who likes the strength and thel
frankness of the German mind, one
whose discriminating taste fosters
historical intrepretation, or one who
admires the continental outlook will
be greatly aroused by this story of
Louis XI of France and Oliver Neck-
er.
As the head of the barbers' guild
of medieval times, Necker the Devil,
showed his power in politics, his in-
genuity in leadership, and his ability
in furthering his interests when he
became a friend of the King. He
gradually advanced from shaving
Louis to attending him. His counsels
were accepted and his personality ap-
proved by His Majesty until finally
Necker became his secret advisor. To
satisfy the whims of the monarch,
The Devil spent his entire day in his
distinguished company. He shared
his secrets of state as well as of his
love affairs. In fact, the astounding
blow came when Necker found that
his own young and beautiful wife
was desired by the licentious ruler.
This quite agonized the former who
already resented being kept from his
lonesome wife over long hours.
long but not tedious. It possesses
life which reflects the author's capa-
city for picturing the details of ex-
istence and the psychological effects
which are never discussed in the
historical text books but which form
a brilliant interpretation for the
novel. The mechanics, the tools of
the novel, help to intensify the inter-
est in the naked facts and incidents
concerning personalities such as
Louis XI.
Alfred Neumann, the creator of
these sinister characters, is a Prus-
sian; now 33 years of age. He lived
in Berlan until, at the age of 18, he
went to Munich to combine the ca-
reers of going to the University and
of working in the publishing busi-
ness. Neumann began his own writ-
ing with poetry. His greatest work,
however, is The Devil, which he com-
posed in Germany and in Italy, for
it possesses such a fascination for
him that he sojourns half of each
year in Tuscany. The Devil, he fin-
ished in 1925 after working on it in
both Florence and Munich. The first
publication was made in 1926 at Stut-
tgart.

CHICAGO, Aug. 8.-George E. Bren-
nan, Democratic national committee-
man and master mind of Illinois
Democracy since the passing of Rog-
er Sullivan, died today.
The death of the veteran Demo-
cratic chief came at 8:10 this morn-
ing, following a coma of several
hourst during which his sturdy con-
stitution alone had warded off the
end which had seemed inevitable
since Tuesday.,
Mr. Brennan was one of the
staunchest supporters of Gov. Alfred
E. Smith for the presidency, both in
1924 when he first soughtthepresi-
dential nomination, and again this
year at Houston.
It was Brennan's suggestion that
Franklin D. Roosevelt, ever opposed
to Tammany hall, be selected to nom-
inate Smith at the national conven-
tion. Brennan, too, was given credit
for the first realization of the value
of night sessions at Houston, creating
the possibilities of radio croadcasting.
Long a bulwark of Illinois Demo-
cracy and for eight years its guiding
hand, his passing on the eve of an-
