Bottle -Toter Jailed to Tune
OF Hes a Jolly Good Fellow

Sergeant Greenberg, Of the West
Forty-seventh Street police station, en-
tered the Club Maurice, at 203 West
Firty-first Street, early yesterday
morning and looked around to see
what he could see.- He saw bottle of
liquor.
The bottle stood on q table and at
the table were seated Wallace Nc
Cutcheon, who described himself as
an actor, the husband Of Pearl White
and former major in the army, and
three other persons, ali in evening
dress.
Walking over to McCutcheon's table
the sergeant asked who owned the
bottle. Every one at the table imme-
diately spoke, up and said he owned the
bottle. While the sergeant was recov-
aring from the shock the four claim
ants engaged in friendly discussion
as to who should be arrested as the
proprietor of the bottle.
There were about sixty persons in
the club and they all rose and listened
Finally the argument simmered down
New-York tribune., 1921-05-06

until it rested between Mr.. McCutch-
con and another man. The sergeant
waited patiently.
. At last Mr.. McCutcheon said to his
competitor: "Now, why put yourself
in trouble? You know that is my
bottle"
"Fine!" said Sergeant Greenberg
coming to life. "That suits me.D
And he placed Mr.. McCutcheon under
arrest.
The crowd cheered, the orchestra
played "For He's Jolly Good Eel
low" and from out the plaudits Of the
gathering Mr.. McCutcheon was taken
to the West Forty-seventh Street
station.
No sooner was he registered than
friends came to bail him out. It was
not until Mr.. McCutcheon had been
taken to the West Thirtieth Street Sta
tion, however, that he succumbed to
the arguments of John J. Pierre, man
ager of the Charles Dillingham; inter-
ests, and permitted himself ia be re-
leased under q bond of $500.
When he was arraigned later before
Magistrate Ten Eyck in the West Side
court he was admitted Ia $4,000 bail
and granted an adjournment until
Monday to secure counsel.

Harding Firm
For Keeping
Army on Rhine
Clamor in Congress for
Troops Return Stilled
as President Shows He
Will Stand by Allies
Soldiers Want to Stay
They're Happy in Germany
and Country No Longer
Urges They Come Home
By Carter Field

WASHINGTON, May 5.--Not only is
President Harding determined to keer
an American force with the Allied
Army of Occupation in Germany afte,
the Knox resolution becomes law, but
opposition to that course in Congress
and especially in the Senate, is narrow
ing down to rather small minority
This determination to keep troops in
Germany is in line with several other
developments in the American attitude
toward the international situation
notably the desire of this country to
have representatives on the Repara-
tions Commission and the Supreme
Council, although the desire to play
this part is held up by the delay OF
the Allies in recognizing American
rights in Yap, Mesopotamia and else,
where.
| On Capitol Hill the strident voices
demanding the immediate return of the
troops from Germany are quietine per.
ceptibly day by day. Certain Senators,
knowing the Presidents desires in the
matter, have been at work, but, more
important, there is not the echo from
the country to this plea to bring the
soldiers home that followed similar de-
mands year or so ago. For instance,
the storm of approval which the de-
mand of Hiram johnson to bring the
troops home from Russia awakened in
Michigan, where the families of those
soldiers lived, and which was reflected
in the huge primary vote rolled up by
Johnson in that state, is not being du-
plicated at ALL
Boys Happy in Germany
Reports reaching the home folks of
the boys in Germany, it is learned by
Senators, are that they are perfectly
happy. The prohibitionists may not
be pleased, because the boys are get
ting very good beer and getting it very
cheaply. The soldiers find that after
they change their American money into
marks that they can live like princes
in the story books. Nearly every man
of the $4,000, according to an officer
Just returned, has had natty uniform
made of officers cloth, not for use on
impress the German girls.
Then there is no ice and snow. no
hardships, no wounds and no one is
being killed. All the reports indicate
that the boys do not want particularly
to come home at all. So from the
Washington viewpoint there is no poli-
tics to be played in loud demands that
they be returned.
With the quieting of the agitation
for bringing the troops home has come
a complaisance on Capitol Hill which
spells giving President Harding his
own way, and this in turn has brought
about discussions as to the legality of
keeping the troops in Germany after
the Knox resolution has been passed
bringing about technical peace between
this country and Germany.
Suggestions have been made by some
Senator's that the desire of the Presi-
dent not to appear to desert the Allies
during the reparations discussions
could be met legally and under the Con-
sstitution by bringing the army troops
home, but sending in their place about
the same number of marines. The
President, they point out, can send ma
rines anywhere he pleases, just as
