Martial Law Is Declared BY Ad-
miral Caperton, Commanding
United States Forces in the
Island Republic.
FOREIGN INFLUENCES
OPPOSE UNITED STATES
France, Through Her AmbaSSa-
dor at Washington, Says She
Would Welcome Any Policy
Which Would Set Haiti on Foot

WASHINGTON, Sept A. Foreign
influences in Haiti are working to
block the plans of the United States
to pacify the republic and rehabili
tate its financial condition under Am
erican supervision, made it necessary
to declare martial law in Port au
Prince. the capital, and in practically
all of but two of the country's open
ports.
Rear Admiral Caperton acting with
I'm his general instructions. declared
martial law and explained the action
was taken because the situation was
beyond the control of the local gov
ernment The reason of the interna-
tional policy Of the State Department
nd not disclosed any informationhad
been received his morning on the sub
ject,.
There was recently persistent ru-
mors that the activity of foreign
agents had been so marked upon the
members of the Haitien Congress that
the State Department found It necess-
airy to hurry its policy of educating
the people of Haiti to an appreciation
of the beneftsh of American financial
control with it's protection against in
sistent foreign creditors,
France is among the largest Of Hal
it's creditors and her citizens are said
to have about twenty million dollars
in Haitien national bonds besides
large mercantile and banking inter
ests in the republic, France has not
only refrained from opposing the de-
velopment of the Aemrican policy but
Ambassador Jusserand yesterday as
sured the state Department Of French
approval of any plans which would
result in the establishment Of stable
and responsible government in Haiti.
The State Department will not at.
tempt to initiate the execution Of its
Haitien policy until it had received
assurances that President D'Artegui'
nave would be able to carry it
through successfully and command
the support of a majority Of the Hal
tien Congress. It regarded as desir.
able that the principle majority OF
control and the retention of power
in the people themselves should be
preserved.
However after the movement was
under way and the proposed treaty
by which the United States is to act
as the protector of Haiti against for
eign creditors and to set the republic
in order was ready for submission tC
the Haitien Congress, signs of oppo
sition developed in unexpected quar-
ters. These are said to have beer
traced to foreign influences which
were rapidly extended

VATICAN THINKS
INTERVIEW
GOOD
Holy See Thinks United States
Is in Better Position to Take
the Initiative in Effort to Bring
Peace About in Europe.

ROME, Sept. 4-CardinaI Glib
bons interview with the President
is considered by the Vatican as the
most important event in the cam
paign for the re-establishment Of
peace but the Holy See wishes to
have the attitude Of the Pope
plainly set forth to avoid mis-
understanding, and therefore is
sued a formal statement to the ef-
feet that the Pope did not send
any special message by Cardinal
Gibbons TO the President
The situation at the present mo-
ment, il was pointed out, did not
seem favorable for the Pope TO
take the Initiative in matters for
peace but the Pontiff was ready TO
help : nall possible ways in an ef-
fort in that direction from what
ever quarter il comes. The opin-
ion is expressed in Vatican circles
here that the United States is in
the best possible position to un-
dertake such mission.

COMING DOWN and GIY-
ing UP,

The other day man in New York
murdered with a rifle his wife and his
two daughters. Then lie stretched him
self out upon his own bed beside his
dead wife and blew his head to bits.
His deed was due, say the newspa pers
and the police. to the loss of his prop
erty; he WAS once rich and found him
self growing poor: he preferred death
to pcnury, both for himself and his
family.
This sharp pointed instance of a
very common delusion. There are
thousands. rich and poor, who share the
poison belief of this unfortunate man.
Briefly stated, the wretched creed is
that 1t Is not life that matters, but
station in life.
Men and women seem to care little
for life. handling it loosely and throw
ing it away often in the most amaz-
ing folly. They take chances Sayly.
They hear of railway wrecks, fires and
automobile disasters with Indifference.
They buy food blindly from food poi
soners. take the unknown drugs they
see advertised. and disregard the plain
precautions of health. Men fling them
selves by troops into battle, all the
while knowing nothing of what II is
all about. In mines and factories life
is cheap.
into cheap fiat; to come down from
silks and diamonds to ready-made
suits; to drop from $4,000 to $1,000 a
year-these are considered more bitter
tragedies than death.
The trouble with ignoble souls is that
they can give up, but they cannot come
down, as the country parson says.
Yet one has not learned the first les
son in the art of living if he cannot
adjust himself, as the player of his
role, to whatever scene fate shifts for
him.
| know of no spectacle so pathetic as
that of the multitudes who are strug-
Cling to keep up their position. Poor
climbers.
When pride Keeps the house heart
break dwells in it. ~
l never hear that dreadful explana-
ton, You know We have to live in
this neighborhoed and keep up this
house. wear such clothes, and keep an
automobile. to keep up with our sta
ton in life," without a chill going down
my spine.
Thank God. 1 have no friends that are
ashamed to come to see us in our
small apartment! And those who
would be attracted by more expensive
place ] do not care to cultivate. !
know enough snobs now to last me the
rest of my days.
Why should any of US be afraid of :,
little poverty? 1t is no killing mat
ter.
And / know some perfectly beautiful
souls who never began to be great un-
til they ceased climbing and learned to
come down.
And when they came down they did
not give up; they rose up, faced re-
verses with stout hearts, and Misfor-
tune. who is always coward and .
bully. turned tail and ran from them.
