tility Of soil In the entire world, with
the exception Of Java. The similarity
Of the two islands is striking. Both
are tropical, both have much the
same physical formation, even the eli
mates are not unlike. Java, with it's
dependent islands, however, has an
area of less than twice that Of Haiti;
but under Dutch rule it supports a
population of $1,000, 900, which is con-
stantly increasing-and observers are
not inclined to regard the Dutch sys-
tenn Of colonial administration as an
unmitigated blessing.
The truth of the matter is that the
people Of Java are mildly Industrious,
where the people of Haiti are almost
uniformly shiftless. The Dutch have
built up an export trade and have pro-
noted agriculture. Scientific agricul.
ture in Haiti is practically unknown.

soil with stick, drops his seed and

he asks, in reply to the strangers in
quiry. IF anything else was neces-
sary God would do it." In the Haitian
mountains rich minerals and the best
mahogany in the world lie unworked
for lack of railroads to haul the prod
ucts to the coast; and capital steers
clear Of the island because Of the un-
certainty Of politics and payments,
and the fact that the whites as a race
are under legislative penalties-in the
Haitian section. Santo Domingo is
much more advanced in this respect
Any one who Is skeptical of what
these people can accomplish should
visit the enduring architectural monu-
ments of the island-the marvellous
fairy palace of Sans Souci in the
northern hills near Cape Haitian, and
the tremendous citadel Of La Ferriere
on the top Of the mountain of that
name, 5000 feet high-both of them

topic, who ruled Haiti from 1911
until he committed suicide in 1919, in
order to avert assassination. 1t is true
that thousands of lives were paid for
these remarkable buildings, just as it
is true that Henri's reign was one long
chronicle Of bloodshed. But the i'm
aginative capacity and indOmitable
will power Of the black man who had
been slave and who could conceive
and direct the building of such struc-
lures strike one today as evidences of
an enormous capacity which might
have been put to valuable uses under
better auspices.
These buildings exist today, and it
is asserted by those who have. seen
them that they are the most interest
ing structures in the West Indies.
Earthquakes have demolished some of
the grand terraces of Sans Souci. and
Its windows cape vacant in the sun

afford the upkeep of this extravagant

HOW THE CASTLES
BEGAN TO DANCE

That very delightful couple, Mr.. and Mrs
Vernon Castle had danced the "box trot" the
Argentine tango" the od-fashioned polka. a s
it was never gracefully danced by your
grandmother. and the "maxixe" at Keith's
yesterday afternoon. In awed whisper, a
woman in of the boxes leaned to her
vis-a-vs and asked: Where did they come
from? How did they learn to do it?'
The dancing of the Castles, who are as
charming as they graceful. possesses the
delight OF all too-fugitve things That is the
only criticism one might make of their APP
pearance. 1t is simply too delightful for its
brevity.
when and how did you begin to dancer"
Mr.. Castle was asked, the curiosity of the
woman in the box in mind.

TO make it somewhat exception to the gem

frankly designed from start to finish for

a high degree of success.
