DECADE’S BIGGEST WRITING FIND
STICKS TO JOB IN THE MARINES
Capt. John W. Thomason , jr., Hailed by Literati as
Brilliant Writer and Artist , Is Content to Keep
on Bossing Leathernecks in Canal Zone.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
HEW YORK, July 25. —Somewhere
in the vicinity of Balboa, Canal Zone,
n sun-bit captain of marines with a
Texas drawl is bossing: the U. S. S.
Rochester’s complement of leather
necks. placidly indifferent to the fact
that the literati of New York have
named him the greatest writing: “find*
since the war. He knows that his
first story, illustrated by himself, was
given the most prominent place In
Scribner’s Magrazine last month, and
he was told in a cable that it was
warmly received, but the sluggish
mails have yet to Inform him that his
second vivid war narrative had been
accepted by Scribner’s for its “lead”
position in the September issue, and
a third short story, sent back to New
York since he sailed for the tropics,
also has been accepted.
This newest author is John W.
Thomason, jr. His story, “Fix Bay
onets,’’ an account of the chargee at
Soiasons, in the June Scribner’s
brought a flood of letters from vet
erans of the World War authenticat
ing: his colorful and undistorted tale.
These communications are now in the
mail, forwarded by the publishers to
the far-off writer-.
(.’apt. Thomason’s second narrative,
which concerns itself with the ma
rines at Blanc Mont, was held by
Scribner’s until the editors sensed the
reaction of their readers to “Fix Bay
onets.” War stories are looked at
askance: the public is not supposed
to like them and the fate of the sec
ond manuscript frankly rested on the
reception of the first.
Whatever doubts the editors had
were so completely dispelled that
they accepted Thomason’s second
story on June 10 and wrote him it
also would have first place in Scrib
ner’s. He already had been engaged
to illustrate a Navy story, “An In
charted Course,” written by Harriet
Welles, wife of Vice Admiral Welles,
for the August Scribner's. About this
time "Monkey Meet,’’ Thomason s
first fiction story, came back from the
South and no time was lost in accept
ing: it and accompanying sketches for
early publication.
Sticks to Marines.
Capt. Thomason has achieved over
night the success which thousands of
young men and women are struggling
and scheming for. In reply to the
cable which first told him of this, he
walked over to the heat-tried cable
station in Balboa and wrote: “I follow
the profession of arms because I like
it. I would be very happy if mate
rial of mine added to the reputation
of my corps, but I hear no call to go
outside my professional duties to act
as press tigent or that sort of thing.
“My stories were written without
ulterior motive and my drawings were
made the same way. I wished to record
my impressions of certain interesting
events and I was more concerned with
the men who took part in them than
in the events themselves. The stories
were written in the West Indies dur
ing 1919 and 1920 from letters and
notes I had made in the war.
“My drawings were made in France
or from material I had collected there.
I did not think of publication when I
made them.
“The drawings were seen by Miss
Ruth Thomas, secretary of the Art
Institute at Newport News, and ex
hibited by her there in 1923. Some
of them were shown to Capt. Lawrence
Stallings, U. S. M. C. (retired) of the
New York World. Capt. Stallings
took them to Miss Neysa McMein and
Miss Bonnie Laite, by whom they were
carried to Scribner’s. I submitted my
stories to accompany the drawings.
- Worked on Newspaper.
"I did some newspaper work on the
Houston Chronicle in 1916, and have
written tactical studies for service pub
lications. I am naturally pleased that
my stories and so forth were well re
ceived. but I was assured by Capt.
Stallings and Miss McMein they were
good. They ought to have known. I
know nothing about literary matters
myself.
“I am flattered by your cable, but
I reply principally to express publicly
my obligation for the courtesies and
friendly interest of Capt. Stallings,
Miss McMein. Mr. Joseph Chapin (art
editor of Scribner’s), and others of
that circle without whose efforts the
stories and things referred to would
probably still blush unseen.”
Thomason’s discovery as a writer
was, as he says, wholly incidental to
the recognition of his t;went as an
artist. Mr. Stallings, author of the
novel “Plumes” and co-author of the
play “What Price Glory?,’’ heard re
peatedly of Thomason and his war
sketches while he was serving in
France. Early this year he at last
prevailed upon Thomason to bring his
portfolio of drawings (many of them
started on the backs of field orders
with the charred ends of matches), to
New York from Dover, N. J., where

Thomason then was stationed. Stall
ings and Alexander Woollcott, former
dramatic editor of the Sun. looked
over the proofs. Stallings averred
that not in Hugo’s writings of war or
Stephen Crane’s “Red Badge of
Courage” nor In any author he ever
knew were there such accounts of
men in battle. Woollcott was in
spired to write a few columns of
praise, which Vanity Fair published
in its June issue with a few sample
sketches by Capt. Thomason. Scrib
ner's gave the budding author an an
nouncement a veteran might envy
and said elsewhere in the same num
ber: "This, his first published work,
Is in the nature of a literary dis
covery. It is without doubt one of
the few distinctive pieces of writing
that the year has produced.”
Art vs. Literature.
There is still a hot contention be
tween the art ftnd literary depart
ments of the magazine regarding
Thomason's relative merits as an
illustrator and author. Both agree
he is good enough to keep on
"making” Scribner's either with his
pen or typewriter.
Meanwhile Capt. Thomason has
written that the June Scribner's is
on the Canal Zone newsstands and
that he has come into "considerable
local renown” as a result.

son’s wife, whom he married on the
eve of going to France: his father.
Dr. John W. Thomason, sr., and other
relatives, are overjoyed at the fame
that has overtaken him. Mrs. Thom
ason formerly was Miss Leta Bass of
Terrell. Tex.
Her husband was born in Huntsville
and received his early education there.
In 1909-10 he went to Southwestern
University and the next year to the
University of Texas. He quit college
before receiving a degree, taught
school for a while near Houston and
then worked for a while on the
Houston Chronicle. He next joined
the marines and saw service in sev
eral odd corners of the world. He
went to France a captain and came
through unscathed, except for a touch
of gas.
Capt. Thomason is 32. He is a
great student of war and the lives
and methods of men who waged them
in the past. His associates say he
handles men with as much genius as
he does words or a pencil and the
men under him vouch for the fact
that he is a “helluva good C. O.”
ADMINISTRATOR NAMED.
P. B. Cromelin to Guard Affairs of

Paul B. Cromelin has been appointed
yesterday by Justice Siddons as ad
ministrator of the estate of Antonio
Fratoni. who was killed by a fall at
the new building at Seventh and I’

MINERS IN ENGLAND
LAV STRIKE PUNS
Situation Is Serious —Unions
to Formulate General
Action Thursday.
By the Assoeiated Press.
LONDON. July 25. —The possibilities
of the threatened strike of coal miners
became more serious today when a
conference of the Transportation and
Railway Unions decided to take steps
to prevent the movement of coal in
the event the miners strike.
It has been decided to call a con
ference in London Thursday of the
executives of all trades unions to de
cide what strike action, if any, shall
be taken by the unions generally.
(The present working agreement be
tween miners and owners expires July
31. The miners have called a strike
to commence on that date as a result
of failure of the two sides to agree
upon new working terms. Yesterday
the miners and owners agreed to con
fer In London Wednesday In a final
effort to solve their disagreements.
Thus the possibility of sympathetic
strike action by other British trades
unions in order to assist the miners
seems to hinge upon whether Wednes
day’s conference is successful.)

AT SIGN SAYING “STOP”

colored ice magnate, and carrying
several boy companions, was halted
by Policeman Smith for violating the
regulation.
“Can’t you read what that sign
says?” Smith asked the abashed
driver.
“Yassah, yassah,” he replied. “She
say 'stop and look,’ but I wasn’t
lookin’, so I couldn’t stop.”
He paid for his lack of perception
by driving around the block while his
ice supply dwindled.
Some Overdo It.
The officers did not halt any driver
who brought his car almost to a dead
stop and then shifted to second gear
and proceeded, provided, of course,
traffic on Eighteenth street did not in
terfere. While they didn’t say so, it
was evident they felt that if cross
traffic is not coming and the way is
clear, it should not be necessary for
a motorist to come to a complete halt
and then go through the process of
changing through first and second
gears. They pointed out that the
regulation was designed to give
boulevard traffic right of way at in
tersections. If there is no boulevard
traffic, it is a pretty safe bet that the
driver will not be arrested if he slows
down to three or four miles an hour
and then shifts to the lower gear.
Many of the drivers today, seeing
the officers scrutinizing their actions,
overdid their stopping. Instead of
starting right up again they stood
stili for nearly half a minute, and on
a number of occasions the officers had
to step out and tell them they were
doing just as wrong by stopping too
long as if they had not stopped at all.
Signs Are Painted.
“As a general rule," Officers Lamb
and Smith soliloquized after the morn
ing drive, “the average Washington
drivers are heeding the stop signs re
markably well. It is a matter of get
ting them acquainted with the regula
tion. so that they will look out for the
“stop” intersections. The newspapers
can aid us a great deal in this educa
tional work.”
The stop signs have been painted all
along Eighteenth street from F street
to Calvert Street Bridge and on Con
necticut avenue from S street to
Chevy Chase Circle. Massachusetts
avenue. Tenth street and Sixth street
are to be marked in the same way
within a few days. Traffic Director
Eldridge said today.
PROTEST SCHOOL DELAY.
The Manor Park Citizens' Associa
tion executive committee will meet
a; the home of Dr. T. T. Read, chair
man of the school committee, Mon
day evening to consider the matter
of the delay in the construction of
the Manor Park school.
Construction was deferred by the
District Commissioners until next
Winter to reopen bids for the con
struction of the school, bids received
on the first advertisement being far
in excess of the amount allotted by
Congress for the construction of the
building.
Members of the Manor Park com
munity have severely condemned the
delay, protesting that school children
there are now housed in portable
school buildings.

directed by the same man. It seems
doubtful, however, that the health of
Marshal Lyautey, resident French
governor of Morocco, will permit him
to undertake the double task.
It is reported from Rabat that as
a result of overwork Marshal Lyautey
is threatened with a fresh attack of
an affliction for which he was operated
on a year ago and that he must again
undergo treatment.
The government is confronted with
an extremely serious problem, remarks
the Matin, which says that the general
staff had. prepared a plan which dif
fered in several respects from thf
views now field. It provided for the
formation of two armies in Morocco,
one on the east with its’ base in Al
geria, commanded by the general
commanding the 19th Corps, the other
on the west, with Its base on the
French Moroccan coast, commanded
by Gen. Naulin, with Marshal Retain
himself as commander of the whole.
This was the first open suggestion
that Marshal Yyautey was likely to be
replaced, although reports to that ef
fect have been current for some time.

Will Get Nowhere Without Or
ganizing to Dispose of
Products, He Says.
By the Agtioriated Press.

of their products.

the course of events in the last few

sadly out of gear with the other parts
of the structure,” Mr. Lowden said.
"I for one do not believe that it can
regain its rightful place in this highly
organized world except through or
ganization itself.”
