.BR|TAIN'S RECRUITING
CAMPAIGN A SUCCESS
Necessary to Extend Time of En-

Great Crowds.

LONDON December 1.-THE enroll

If the numbers of the past two days
are kept up the total enlistment for
the last three days probably Will equal
the total for any preceding three
weeks.
There is no information at present re-
carding the number of new recruits,
but the trade union leaders tonight
confidently declared that the Derby
camDaien was a success. The last
census gave the number of men in
England Scotland and Wales between
the ages of IS and 40 as 100000.
nearly half of whom were single. The
general understanding has been that
about 100000 entered the army be-
fore Lord Derby's recruiting began, and
il is believed that between so and 80
per cent of the remainder have pre-
scented themselves for attestaton.
From this total must be deducted

those engaged in other necessary call

Touch of Strong Hand
Suggested as Remedy.

others who have been in actual con-
tact with the problem, believes that
only the touch of a strong hand will
bring political and Industrial peace to
the Caribbean countries. OF course,
their history from the first may be
cited to show that most of them have
not been able to win prosperity I'M
aided. But there is more construc-
tive argument for assistance. In Cuba
prosperity has been brought by the
magic of phrase which provides that
we may interfere to suppress disorder
And if Cuba be considered not 4 typical
case, because of it's high-class popula-
ton, then look at Jamaica and the Bar
BADGES, which are the best part of
England's share of the Caribbean
world. These islands are inhabited al
most wholly by West Indian negroes,
yet they are prosperous and peaceful
in a high degree.
Kingston, Jamaica. is a neat. we'll
governed little city. popular with tour
lists from all parts of the world. where
the white population is only few per
cent. 1t is heavily settled and every
acre of available land is under cultiva-
ton. The Jamaican negro is an Eng
lishman. He speaks with an English
accent and plays cricket. When he is
in one of the other Caribbean countries
and revolution breaks out, he hangs
his British flag out the window and
the riot, proud and secure in
the knowledge that his government
will protect him. He despises the ma
tive who does not work, although time
was when he himself knew not the
of labor. By the touch of a
hand strong enough to bring order, not
only have the British Caribbean is
lands been made prosperous and pro
ductive, but the very stamina Of the
natives has been strengthened, their
character changed.
To bring these blessings to the other
Caribbean countries is the duty and the
opportunity of the American people, ac-
cording to the champions of the inter
ference doctrine. They believe that We
should have a treaty with every one
Of these countries which requires our
help, similar to the treaty of 1903 with
Cuba. Meantime, the specific case of
Nicaragua presses for a solution. and
our action there cannot but have an
important influence upon our future
policy in the Caribbean world
