REVOLT IN HAITI
NOT SUPPRESSED
Uncle Sam May Be Forced to
Employ Drastic Action.

Washington, Jan. 26.--Attempts OF
the government of Haiti to check the
revolution in that country have
proven ineffective thus far, according
to dispatches to the state depart
ment. and considerable anxiety is
felt here regarding the situation. 1t
is feared that IL the rebel successes
continue many more days the United
States will save itself from serious
embarrassment only by taking dras-
tic action to uphold the hands of the
Orestes government and discourage
the revolutionists.
The importance Of the Haitien sit
uation Is not at all due to the. posi-
ton of that country among the Carlb-
bean republics, but because of the
fact that II is the scene of the first
revolution In those regions since the
promulgation Of President Wilson's
policies in regard to uprisings in
Latin America. With the revolution
gathering force daily, the state de-
partment is confronted with the ne
cessity Of demonstrating whether the
Wilson policy of encouragement of
the seizure of governments by force
really means anything in a practical
way or not Upon the action to be
taken in Haiti apparently depends in
large measure the prestige Of the
presidents policy in Latin America.

"She's all right-on the job every
minute, Pays good wages for good
work, too"
Everybody was busy, so sat round
and watched this remarkable woman
directing here, explaining there, with
an eye on every detail from the pick
ing of the fruit to the pasting of the
label on the barrel; always, however,
coming back to that packing table. And
it was decidedly interesting to note
that most of the directions were ac-
companied by reason of explanation
of some sort.
There is not much time to talk about
other things while training lot of
orchard hands. But later on, working

about five years ago she had known

I do say it myself, because out of it

"My first idea,' and Mrs. Leake, an,
swering the second question first, was
to learn how to grow good apples and
how to handle them afterward All

pointed to a stack of government bull
letins-"and by correspondence with the

ative and imagination which Is large

practical advice from the department

enormous amount of knowledge can

BAD FALL
Sustained By Mrs. Sarah
Barker On Monday

Mrs. Sarah Barker, an inmate at the
Home for the Aged, started to walk
from the home to the home Of her
neice, Mrs. A. w. Parrott on East
Burgess street Monday morning. She
slipped and fell while on East Ham
tramck street and badly injured her
hip. She was assisted into home
nearby and Miller Brothers ambu-
lance was later called and she was
removed to the Home for the Aged
where she is being cared for by a
nurse. Although Mrs. Barker is well
advanced in age, her condition is not
critical.
