BY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. General
Emedley Darlington Butler rose
from the ranks and became covered
with medals for acts Of personal
heroism and other brilliant achieve
ments.
But although he carried out his
orders ably and intelligently, he
never learned 70 suppress his strong
persopal opinions In the interests
Of expediency.
Today he Is both the most valu-
able officer in the u. s. Marine
corps and the general who faces
a cOurt-martial because he made a.
speech in a Philadelphia club In
which he attacked Premier Benito
Mussolini Of Italy.
Otherwise, the most interesting
facts about Butler are that:
The marines who have served
under him have always accorded
him hero-worship because they re-
gard him as q square-shooter, con-
siderate OF their interests, demo-
cratic to a degree, able 10 attain
q high standard OF discipline with
out becoming q martinez and as
brave as any OF them. The marine
corps, you will find. Is divided into
two distinct classes: those called
Butler men" and those who
haven't had much contact with him.
He Is q bundle of nerves." as
some Of his friends say. full Of a
remarkable driving force and an ex-
tracrdinary ability TO think things
out and get things done. In speech
ne resembles a machine-Eun, his
sentences often spattered with al
lusions showing him to be widely
read ard informed. And his con-
versation. in private at least. Is as
frank as ever came from the lips
Of any man In uniform.
Has NapoIeonic Look
Butler is only a little fellow. short
and thin, but apparently possessed
Of one OF those iron constitutions
His hair Is still brown and not gray
because he is not quite so
old. He has a small. rather bach
ely face and hts nose. large and
something like a parrots has 4
Napoleonic look.
III Butler would but keep his
mouth shut at the right times. ne
would please the politicians and the
diplomats as well as he pleases
everyone else. Unfortunately. ~
lacks that faculty. Still o I'M
fortunately, he has a marked con-
Tempt for many politicians and
diplomats. That tongue Of hts Il
all that ever got him into trouble
And never before into anv real
trouble, such as this court marfial
Heretofore the Butler tongue has
irr1tated those who disliked him
without giving them a chance Ia
strike at him. In his PITTSBURGH
speech two or three years ago he
explained the technique Of j Ca
r1bbean policy. When the marines
supervised an election, he explain-

ally being eased out by the polite
ians, he said:
His Prohibition Speech
Il read this fool volstead Act as
intended to apply to everybody. But
1t appears It Is merely intended 70
keep liquor away from people with
out influence and doesn't apply 70
others. It's a Ease of enforcing the
law In some places and bluffing at
enforcement in others"
Well, they couldn't do anything TO
Butler about that, either. Everyone
In Washington, Philadelphia and
elsewhere knew he knew what he
was talking about.
Really, an absurd sort OF person
to be in public life If he hadn't
been such an amazingly good off,
Ger he never would have risen very
far.
Unfortunately for Butler. he was
finally foolish enough in an other
wise good speech to repeat a hear
say story to the effect that Mussolini
was a hit-and-run driver who had
killed a child. Hardly anyone in
Washington. except perhaps IN the
state department. has any regard
for Mussolini. But hardly anyone
believes that story about Muss0lini
TO be true Butler laid himself wide
open 70 attack BY repeating that
story IN public.
But although this apparently OBJ
yious error viii be used against him.
his court martial is likely to turn
out 10 be the most unpopular court
martial ever staged by q branch
Of Americas armed forces. The
high officials Of the navy depart
ment are supposed to have long dis
liked Butler and % have been re-
Sponsible for the fact that he

corps to succeed the late General

Neville. One thing about Butler is
that he wasn't a naval academy
graduate. Another thing is that
wherever Butler has been on the job
with admirals or other naval Off
GERS they have had to let Butler
run the show because he was OBJ
viously so much better equipped TO
do so. And it also appears that
when Butler has more or less pri-
vately expressed his opinion or navy
and state department policies when
they made him q policeman Of i'm
perialism' word Of his remarks has
sometimes been carried back into
high places.
What Pershing Said
Several anecdotes still survive
from the time when he served AZ
Brest In 1918 and 1919 during the
evacuation period. The Brest camp
was q mudhole and Butler under
took to pull il out Of the mud. He
himself carried duckboards up the
hill General Pershing came down
one time and they sent word 10
Butler that the troops should be
drawn up for dress parade. Butler.
although attached to the army. re-
garded himself as a naval officer
and decided otherwise. He and a
few other officers nat Pershing AZ
the station and he was asked what
had become Of the review.
He'll said Butler. 7 wasn't 60
ing TO pull those boys out into the
mud and let a lot Of them catch
pneumonia and die. Just as they
were about to leave for home
Pershing and Butler drove around
the camp together. They passed 4

doughboy who failed to salute and
this conversation followed:
Pershing: Did you notice that
he didn't salute. General?"
Butler: Yes. l noticed that,
General
And then they passed another
private who didn't salute.
Pershing. Did you notice that
that man didn't salute. General?'
Butler: Yes. ! noticed 1t, Cen
eral."
Pershing: General. don't you
think they should be taught to sa-
lute?'
Butler: well. General. II the
army had them from six months 70
six years and they haven't learned
10 saluoe. you shouldn't expect the
marines to teach them In six days
He Is a Quaker
The Brest camp had from 10000
70 $4,000 men most of the time and
their average stay was about a week
Butler put a marine sergeant In
charge OF each kitchen and solved
the food problem. He thought one
OF the best ways TO send the dough-
boys back to America in good health
and morale was 70 give them three
square meals a day. General Har-
board, then head Of the Service OF
Supply. hove In one morning and
told him the army ration allow
ance was being exceeded. Butler
admitted that and said the rations
would be reduced if Harboard would
issue the orders. Harboard Rrinned
and said he guessed he wouldn't.
Butler Is a Quaker, as everyone
Knows. and his wife 'thee's end
thou's' him.
Honored for vaIor
Serving In China as a lieutenant
In 1900, Butler won a captaincy bv
heroism near T1entsin and soon
~aftervard. at TIentsin, advanced
two numbers on the list or captains
for further heroism. he has serv-
ed az various American posts, in
the Philippines, in Porto Rico, Pa
mama, Nicaragua. Mexico. Haiti and
France, as well as on various battle
ships. He won his first Congress
ional Medal Of Honor through skill
and courage in leading his troops
into Vera Cruz in 1914. He won his
second In an attack on Fort Riviere
in Haiti in 1915. leading a score of
men IN a desperate and dangerous
attack. The army gave him its d.
s. M. for solving problems OF sex-
traordinary magnitude" at the Best
camp with conspicuous success
and the navy gave him another
decoration for the same perform
ance. He has French. British and
Haitian medals and eleven campaign
medals.
