(6 of 6)

The picture of Mr. Copley Amory which you printed with your report of the Canadian Biological Conference is very old (TIME, Aug. 10).

Here is a picture of Mr. Amory as his biologist guests knew him. It was taken at the conference by Dr. Alfred O. Gross of Bowdoin College.

Butler's Remark

Sirs:

Your issue of Aug. 10, has been shown ne. On p. u, Army and Xavy column, you iiKiu1 a direct quotation of language supposedly us''d by me. I did not make that remark, nor anything even remotely suggestive of it.

If you are desirous of being fair, you will ghe this denial as much prominence as you did your misquotation of my remarks.

S. D. BUTLER

Major General

U. S. Marines, Marine Barracks Quantico, Va.

General Butler was reported by Universal Service to have declared at Quantico: "The Army banished its Mitchell: the Navy throttled its Magruder; but nobody can keep Butler from talking.'' TIME gladly gives this space to General Butler's denial.—ED.
