Major General Butler commands a marine post at Quantlco, Va. Adequate redress has been de manded by the Italian government In a formal protest to the state de partment against Butler's remarks. "In an address delivered before the contemporary, club of Philadel phia on January 19, Major General Smedley D. Butler stated." the am bassador's statement said, "as It ap pears from the Philadelphia papers, that Signor Mussolini had invited a friend of the general's (whose name, however, he did not mention) to ac company him In a tour around Italy In an armored automobile; that dur ing this tour Signor Mussolini ran over a child without stopping when tho child was hit and that when tho general's friend soreamed when tho accident occurred.
