CEN. BUTLER To
ENTER POLITICS,
CAPITAL HINTS
Retirement From Marines
Believed Signal for
New Move.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Sept. 23.-The
rousing sendoff given Major General
Smedley D. Butler as he retired
from the United States marine corps
was construed by many here today
to signal the approach of a new
figure in politics.
The farewell program put on for
Butler at the Quantico (Va) ma
rine base Tuesday night was CAL
culated to send him out into CT
villain life with fanfare fitting his
spectacular military career.
Butler. it is expected, will an
nounce plans soon to become a can
didate for the United States senate
in Pennsylvania against Senator
James ] Davis, who stands for re-
election next year.
Added belief that Butler will en-
ter politics is based on remarks of
Governor Clifford Pinchot of Penn
sylvania, who said at Quantico:
1--WE are all going to hear more
from General Butler"
Many believe Butler is destined to
become one of the first outstanding
national military figures in postwar
politics. His irrepressible PERSONAL
ity has survived the heavy re-
straints of marine corps routine He
has been disclosed as daring,
sprightly and potential figure, the
kind of blazing comet that shoots
across the drab political sky once
in a generation.

SILVER DRIVE is

Old Issue BobS Up Again
as LikeIieSt Remedy

BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
scripDs- Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The
adequacy of the gold standard UNI
der present-day conditions once
again is questioned seriously as
Britain suspends gold payments and
other great nations reel on their
foundations for lack Of the yellow
metal.
simultaneously, bimetalism and
the old issue of silver money bobs
up again as the likeliest of rene
dies. President Hoover now may
find it possible to convene the in
ternational silver conference urged
upon him by Senators Smoot,
Borah, Thomas, Pittman and
others.
There is too little gold in the
world, t is urged, but plenty of sill
yer. With half the total supply in
the hands of America and fourth
in possession of France, the struggle
Of the other countries for gold has
played havoc with their economic
and political systems.
Silver Drug on Mart
Meanwhile, silver, as a commod-
ity, has become a drug on the mar
ket. From over a dollar an ounce in
1920 it now has fallen to twenty
seven cents an ounce. More than
half the people of the earth, among
whom silver still is the standard
Of value, are unable to buy goods
made in America or any other gold
standard country.
AS long as gold continues to be
the basis of international trade and
remains scarce, economists assert,
commodity prices are likely to re-
main low In the scramble for
some of the limited supply, it OBJ
viously will take a lot of wheat,
cotton, corn, coffee, rubber, or
what have you to obtain a given
amount.
Dear gold is another way of say
ing cheap commodities. Thus, it is
argued, bimetalism or the restora-
ton of silver as money at some
fixed ratio with gold, would cheaper

the things farmers and others have
to SELL
Many Join Deterding
The rehabilitation of silver, an
increasing number of observers are
saying, would put China and India
back on the map as markets for
American products, and the result
ing initiation would start commodi-
ties moving and set on foot the
machinery of better times.
Immediate adoption of bimeta-
ism is the only possible remedy for
our sick world today" Sir Henri
Deterding, British oil magnate and
flnancier declared.
And today the plight of Britain,
due to her unsuccessful struggle to
keep to the gold standard, is max
ing converts for the Deterding
scnool or thought.
1t is believed here that Britain's
insistence upon putting India on
a gold basis against the will of the
population may be altered by recent
events.

THERE was a breathless stiffness
yesterday morning at the Chill

duced the piano soloist whom he
hoped was not too old" Charleton
Meyer, aged 6, seemed a trifie dazed
form, but on the piano bench he
went straight ahead with Bach's
'Minuet in G. Major" in remarkably
rhythm, decisivenesS, clear tone and

the younger members Of the audi

with excitement during this whole

of Hasselmans "Ballade" on the

BATTLE AGAINST | ALCOHOL BEING
 | WON IS VERDICT
President of Worlds W0m= ans Christian Temper ance Union Sends That Word to Toronto Con= ventiOn

Toronto, June 5-CUP)-The war against alcohol is being won, Miss Anna Adams Gordon. of Evanston, | III, president of the worlds Wo- mans Christian Temperance Union, said in a message sent to the organ | ization's convention here to-day. Branding alcohol as "an enemy that must be conquered" the mes sage as given for reading by Mrs Ella A. Boole of Brooklyn, N. Y., vice. president, called for renewed effort toward a goal of worldwide total abstinence.
 we affirm" it said, "to the mill lions of earthly children, made in | the image of their creator, that al- cohol is an arch enemy of the hu- man race, and neither by individu- als nor by governments should it be treated as a friend or business l partner. We broadcast this funda- mental truth - alcohol, whether found in brandy or whiskey, in beer or wine, is an enemy that must be vanquished.
 "The founder of our Inclusive. inter-racial organization. Frances E. Willard, early reminded us that | our purpose as world wide woman hood is to make the world a larger home.
 we are covenanted together to carry forwards with the blesisng of God, our spiritual, social. educa- tional and legislative program. We are winning our fight"
 Greeting the convention in be- half of Miss Gordon, Mrs Boole's repared speech hailed womankind as intuitively opposed to alcoholic beverages by virtue of having long suffered "the ravages of drink" Women count most in the "domain of moral and spiritual forces she said.
 we must continue to make l known the effects of alcohol and that the only remedy for its evils is to be found in total abstinence for the individual and increasing restrictions upon its sale, with the ultimate goal of prohibition for the world" Mrs Boole urged.
 She cited "the saki-less day in Japan, the limitation on hours of sale in England, the dry areas in Scotland, the prohibition of the sale of liquor on Sunday in Ulster, the prohibition of the sale of liquor to youths under eighteen in many countries, the adoption of local op- ton in Poland. where 197 com munes have adopted prohibition, prohibition in FinlAnd and the

SUBMARINE FOR
 ARCTIC CIRCLE ON THEATLANTIC
Nautilus, Which Will Go Under the Arctic Ice, on First Phase of Its Ad- venture

Provincetown, Mass, June 5.-
 UP)-The submarine Nautilus was on the Atlantic to-day on the first phase of voyage which will carry Sir Hubert Wilkins and crew of IS to Spitzbergen and eventually into the icy wastes of the Arctic circle.
 The transformed navy craft was being accompanied as far as the Grand Banks by the coast guard cut ter Ponchartrain. The submarine was in command of Lieutenant Sloan Danenhower, U. s. N., retired and Sir Hubert.
 Shortly before the Nautilus sailed from here last night after several standardization surface tests, Com mander Donald B. MacMillan, him self a veteran of many successful voyages into the Arctic, predicted the expedition of Sir Hubert lex tremely hazardous.
 MacMillan, who plans to explore the North Pole regions this summer by airplane, said that if the Nautilus becomes caught in Head" or ice crevice, it twill flatten like card board box"
 Lieutenant Danenhower said the Nautilus, transformed from a war vessel to a ship of science at a cost of more than half million dollars, had proved "very satisfactory" un- der several speeds in the tests off Wood End.
 Approximately 10000 gallons of fuel oil was taken aboard shortly after the tests, enough, according to che of the officers, to cruise 5000 miles. Provisions and other supplies were taken aboard at New London, Conn. before the submarine put in here.
 The Nautilus will be under escort as far as the Grand Banks, off Nova Scotia. From there it will continue on a lone voyage across the ocean.
 At Spitzbergen, three more scien- lists will join Sir Hubert and his party and enough supplies will be taken aboard to last six months. The submarine will then head di- re ctly into the ice packs.
 The craft is provided with special ice-boring equipment which will en- able it to proceed under water dur iEg most of its trip to the pole region. According to present plans, Sir Hubert will proceed directly from Spitzbergen to the North Pole, and then proceed under the ice cap to Alaska.
