THIS SULTAN
BEATS MARINES
Even Major-General McIn-
tyre Never Heard of
LANG LANG Chief
POTENTATE MAY
BE MERE FICTION

WASHINGTON, Dec. iO-"There is
no island Of LANG Llang and no Sui
tan OF Llang LANG. The Bureau OF
Insular Affairs at no time has adNer-
tsed for Robert A. McClain as the
heir 10 the worldly goods Of the SUI
tan OF Llang Llang, or any other sui
tan. Aside from these details the
story is a cOrking good one"
This statement was made by Major
General Frank Mcintyre, chief of the
Bureau Of lnsular Affairs and himself
a veteran Of the Philippine campaign.
General Mcintyre added that the story
first gained currency some time ago
and McClain wrote the bureau and in
advised that the bureau knew moth
ing about the story. about Llang Llang
or the Sultan. In fact the General,
who is strong on humor, intlmated
a belief On his part that McClaln
evolved the story, started II on It's
rounds and then sent along his In
quiry as to the facts
Inquiry at the headquarters OF the
Marine Corps failed to locate the rec
ord OF any Robert A. McClain as hay
ing served in the corps at any time.
The sergeant who was instructed 10
look up McClaln's record came back
with several including McClains, Nc
Lanes and others, but none Of them
were Robert a. II is possible some
other officer had called for McClam
record and that the ticket was out OF
the files, but those In the office OF the
commandant who sent for the records
were inclined TO regard the whole
story as a bit Of pleasing llction.
One veteran sergeant OF marines
who served in the Philippines was
sure that there Is an island OF Llane
Llang somewhere near the island OF
Isabella He was a bit hazy, but was
sure he had heard OF the place. Those
who listened TO him tell IL were al
most convinced, but finally conclud
ed that the sergeant was sidesleppinl
in order not 90 have TO admit he di'
not know the location OF the iuusN'
isle
other veterans about marine head
quarters could not recall ever havinl
heard OF such an island. one youni
officer declared he had certainly
heard" Of Llalg Llang. and was sur
it is located somewhere near tn
philippines. He added that u belong
Cd 90 Great Britain and could not eX
plain how American marines nap
pened 10 be engaged in active service
on a British island
General Mcintyre Is a bit suspicion
that the same McClain, spelling hi
name differently, was respOns BILE 10
this story when 1t gained currenc
about year ago. That was Rober

POTATOES USED AS

The potato. according to a dispatch
from Moscow to the American Red
Cross. made public here yesterday. is
The staple article of food in these re-
SiOns and its value fluctuates far less
than any of the various types of paper
money which are in circulation. In
the district around Grodno the Red
Cross reports that all the local help
Employed in warehousins or In activi-
tics Of tine field units are given their
weekly wage in potatoes.
About twenty pounds of potatoes .,
regarded as a fair weekly wage for
the ordinary workman. One OF tne
large landowners in Grodno. whose

articles purchased with potato money.

Wireless Talk Over World

Telephone Expert Predicts

That a world system of wireless
telephony. whereby subscribers in DIFF

as easily as telephone users in the
SAME town do now. will be establis>-
ed in "a comparatively few years"
was the prediction made last night
by Col. J. J. Carty, of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company,
in an address before the National
Research Council at the National Mu-
scum.
Recent progress in wireless tele-
phony makes such a world telephone
system inevitable" Col. Carly as
serted, and predicted that its estab-
Iishment will put an end to war.

A warning that commercial su-

Europe, if science professors do not
receive better pay and college science
departments more financial support,
was voiced by Col. Carly.

ing the Railroad Administration large
fna ncial losses, according TO a state
ment issued last night dealing with
the effect of the successive bliZZards
which have swept the East during the
past forty eight hours.
Reports from regional directors of
Eastern railways indicate serious in
reference with railroad operations.
High winds. drifting snow. flooded

to considerable extent. it Is stated.
The situation is further complicated

700 employees are i'll with the dis

Director General Hines said today
that railroad earnings would show a
drop because Of the adverse condi-
tions. although both officers and en-
ployes are doing their utmost 10 keep
traffic moving and overcome the eN-
trcme diffic Ilties.
The reports indicate particularly
heavy damage to railroad properties

mischief has not been done during my
lifetime by the creation of a great
deal of literary" or artistic" build
ing. To live in 4 house made as dark
as possible and with the few win
dows stopped up with as much lead
as possible is like living in an archi-
tectural hell.
| am so far modern as to believe
that every building should be knocked
down at the end OF twenty years, for
we have an incorrigible habit of
sponging on the past.
Look at the fuss We made during
the war over the Rheims Cathedral
Any reasonable state of society would
have said nothing. but would have
got hold Of more bricks and stained
glass and built 1t again.
All my life l have had the feeling
that each generation should possess
its own art. The worship OF the past
can only be cured by the wholesale
destruction of the monuments of the.
past-to drive us. by a kind OF starva-
tion. to produce our own buildings.
At present. after toferating bad
architecture all the year round, peo-
