Gen. Smedley D. Butler issues a statement about his recommendation of court martial for Col. Williams which puts the matter in a different light. Gen.

Butler says the arrest of Col. Williams had no connection with the dinner which Col. Williams gave in honor of Gen. Butler who was relieving him as commandant of the marine base at San Diego. The fact is, says (ion.

Butler, the incident occurred another time, in a hotel. Inasmuch as (ien. Butler charged Col. Williams with having been intoxicated, the allegations may he combined in an informative way if one he so minded. If it were true that an officer were drunk anywhere, but particularly in so conspicuous a place as a hotel, certainly tlie ground would be laid for a charge of conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman.

The conspicuousncss of it would render the offence worse by heightening its unbecoming nature.

Many productions sagging into a flop have been resuscitated by this method. Thus has the name of a curious personality filtered into the Broadway patois.

Joe Leblang symbolizes one of the Broadway romances, strangely interwoven with the theater, Romance that has lifted men and women from a muck of mediocrity to pinnacles of wealth and affluence. He began selling cut-rate tickets in his stuffy cloak and suit loft many years ago. Leblang is a Hungarian Jew, born in Budapest. Selling these tickets was a desultory gesture, mostly to accommodate customers, as tamps are sold in the corner drugstore. Today, along the meandering mile known as Broadway, Leblang has made it a business that has reaped a harvest of millions.

When he took the cut-rate ticket Idea to Broadway he installed himself in a shoe shine parlor in the rear of a drugstore. Now he owns the drug store, the sky-scraper in which it is located, and the George M. Go! fn theater, next door. But that is not all. He owns a Manhattan bank, a big department store in a Jersey city, the Forty- eighth street theater, and huge parcels of valuable midtown real estate.

All of this came from a byproduct of the theater, long considered waste. In the basement under the 47th street Broadway corner there is a scene as riotous as that of the floor of the Stock Exchange, each night. Here more than 50 clerks barter cut-rate tickets at bargain prices. Quotations are constantly changing on the boards. Bad weather throws the best selling hits to the cut-rate broker.

On a hlizzardy night some 50,000 seats have been sold.l After a fashion, Leblang is the theater's official almoner. He and and saves, hundreds of plays from the dark theatrical warehouse.

In the uncouth days, the cabaret girls were paid a percentage of the drink check they inspired, and while the patron was becoming maudlin with whisky or wine, the girls were quaffing small glasses of colored water or an innocuous aerated beverage passing for champagne.

Japan would like nothing better Bolshevist diplomats who have been ordered from Moscow to trim their beards, get their trousers pressed, and indulge in a shoe shine once a week. Nevertheless, it is surprising to see the Soviet regime tolerating, than to go to war with China and much less making mandatory, these outward semblances of bourgeoisie. Is it a truckling to capitalism? Or is it a sly conceit intended to disarm aversion and prepare the way for conquests of intrigue? Whatever the answer to the riddle, it is unimportant. It may only be that the Soviet government has reached the sensible conclusion that if one is to pose as a diplomat with any hope of success he had best look the part. seize that great country which Japan so greatly needs.

The more pretexts Chinese irresponsibles supply, the sooner that day may come.
