Washington, Dec. 29.-In marked
contrast to the fate of the French ar
my and its conquest of Haiti when
thousands fell victim of plague and
pestilence, is the experience of the
United States Marine. Corps in its
pacification work in that val torn lit
tie Caribbean republic. Medical Off
GERS, in reports, just received by chad.
quarters of the Marine Corps in this
city, state that the health of the Ma
rines could not be better despite the
fact that they have often been called
upon to march twenty miles a day over
rough mountainous roads, under 8
%blistering tropical sun, and under con.
ditions Of actual warfare.
Haiti, according to these medical
officers, has had for over a hundred
years the reputation of being one Of
the most unhealthy spots in the world
and it has been the common belief that
no white man could live there when
subjected to hardships and exposure
But it remained for Marines tc
disprove that theory. They have hac
great experience in climates closely re-
sembling that of Haiti, and have
learned to take the necessary precau-
tions so essential to the maintainence
of perfect health in the tropics.
Foot troubles were few and far be-
tween, the medical officers say, and the
deaths have been caused by bullets
not disease.

BOARD
MAY Be FORCED
TO ORGANIZE
Rumored That Mandamus Pro.
ceedings Will Be Started
This Week.
INFORMAL MEETING
HELD YESTERDAY

An Informal meeting OF the state
board of immigration was called by
Governor Hanna yesterday, but no
steps were taken relative to formally
organizing the board and making the
appointments of agents. In addition
to the board several parties interest.
ed in the immigration movement were
present at the meeting.
RumOrs were in circulation to the
effect that mandamus proceedings
would be started against the board,
compelling them to organize and com
mence the work connected with the
department or show cause, which &C.
ton has not already been taken.
Referendum Petitions.
Attorney General Linde has held
that the petitions, seeking to refer
the immigration bill are invalid. If
the promised litigation is started the
validity of the petitions will be tested
in the district court, most likely be-
fore Judge Hanley of Mandan.
There is a crying need in the state
for the immigration commission, and
sentiment throughout the state is very
much in favor of the bill. North Da-
kota was never more in need Of adver-
tising and publicity than it is at the
present time. With the bumper crop
promised for this year, the state
should be exploited in all sections OF
the country, but the work cannot be
done without the immigration officials
and the appropriation made for that
purpose.

District Judge Hanley Of Mandan

Just what authority the city has
for issuing a license to a ferry oper-

comes under the jurisdiction of the
federal government, is question
The Question will be brought up be-

can be placed upon them by any other
authority than the federal war depart

BELGIAN LINES
ARE STATIONARY
Soldiers Have Appearance Of Per-
manent Settlers; Hen Coops
and Gardens Adiuncts.

Dullkirk, France, Aug. THE Bel
gian lines along the flooded district
north of Dixmude have been practical
ly stationary for SO long a time thai
the soldiers are beginning to assume
the domestic characteristics of set
tiers. Chicken coops. are found at
frequent intervals In the clear spaces
behind he trenches, and hundreds Of
small vegetable gardens provide var.
iety to the daily menu of their sol
dier owners. Officers and men find
frequent opportunity to give them
selves the pleasure Of an afternoons
fishing, the usual reward being a fair
haul of savOry carp. found in. the
streams and canals which empty them
selves into the flooded districts.
The flooded district in front of the
Belgian base position now covers
about 10000 acres, extending in a
huge rectangle from north of DiXmltde
to point east if Niuport. 1t is hard
ly correct to say that the Belgian
lines have been absolutely stationary
here, even for the past fw months.
Little by little the Blgians hav push
ed forward here and there, until they
have established their advance trnch.
es in most places we'll on the north
side of the flooded area, at distances
of mile to two miles and from their
base positions.
These advance positions are ap
preached across the water barrier o,-
er narrow roadways of planking sup
ported on piles. All the supplies for
the troops in the advanced trnchea
are carried from the base over these
crooked, rickety, bridges.
Although the mosquitoes, millions of
them, make their presence constantly
known throughout the flooded area,
the sanitary conditions everywhere
are excellent. and the health of the
soldiers has been phenomenaly good.
The fear that contamination of the
stagnant food waters would inevitably
lead to epidemics has bcen neutralized
by the excellent worE of the Belgian
n1dical sanitary offers. who with
great care have removed and destroy
ed every possible source of contami-
nation, particularly the dead bodies
of men and horses which for time
rose frequently to the surface Of the

Campaign Of Three Months.

Campaign OF Three Months.
For just three weeks the Germans,
under the supreme command Of Field
Marshal Won Hindenberg. have been
trying to force this front, which usu.
ally is referred to as that Of the Ma
rev, and to cut off the Russian arm
les on their retreat from Warsaw.
That not only three days after the
evacuation of Warsaw has this line
given, leads ritish critics to the con-
clusion that the Russian withdrawal
was voluntary one and that Grand
Duke Nicholas, commander.in.chief OF
the Russian forces, certain OF tho
safety of his Warsaw army, has aban.
doned his struggle on the Narew.
Little Change Noted.
There is little change in the other
sections of the Polish salient. The
Russians are still holding the east
ern bank Of the Vistula, including
Traga, a suburb of Warsaw, and at
least are delaying the German ad
vance across the river, while in tho
southeast neither General Won Mack
ensen nor Archduke Joseph Ferdi.
nand has made much progress, being
still little more than 20 miles norta
of the Lublin- -Cholm railway which
they crossed p week ago.
Flank Movements.
In Courland and Kovno, General
von Buelow, with 100000 men. is car.
rying out flank movements much on
the same line as those with which
General Won Kluck opened the cam
|paign in the west.
Hereafter, General Won Buelow,'s
progress is likely to be slower. Be-
tween the lara and the Dvinsk there
are swamps, while between kovno
and Wilma, his second objective, lies
the Niemen river to the south anu
the Sventa and many other streams
to the north and east, all Of which
lend themselves to defense.
Novogeorgevsk Holds Out.
The besieged fortress of Novogeor'
geviesk, at the junction OF the Wis
'tula and Narew rivers, the most west
erly place retained by the Russians,
still holds out, although the Germans
