is so little known personally to the
British people as Admiral Jeilicoe.
Yet the admiral has an adventurous
record and has three times in his ca
reer recovered from wounds that were
at first believed 10 be fatal.
Jellicoe comes of a family Of French
extraction. and his father was sailor.
AS a midshipman he excelled his tei-
lows in his studies and aSention to
duty and won nearly all the prizes Of
fered on his training ship. he TOOK
part in the bombardmsnt of Aieyan-
dria. fought at Tel-el-Kebir. and had
narrow escape from drowning when
the Victoria sank He also fought dur
ing the Boxer rebellion in China. As
an administrator his career was no
less distinguished. for he served as
director OF naval ordnance and a con
troller OF the navy.
A writer describes him as a slender
man below average height with calm
gray eyes and an air of perfect con
fdence At the same time there is
lurking sense OF humor in the lines
about the eyes and mouth. IN his
small, why figure he resembles the
late Lord Roberts.
Admiral Jellicoe has always been
Immensely popular w5th the enlisted
men of the navy, by whom he is known
variously as Jackey-Oh, Hellhre JACK
and also as Silent Jack from the fact
that he seldom speaks unless he wants
something done.

poverty was such that he would prob
ably resign the kingship of the tribe,
because 1t entailed the expenditure Of
lots of money, which he did not have,

some statutory offense, but that he

RESENTS LANDING OF
AMERICAN MARINES
Haitian General Arrived In New York
Claims Troubles Are
Financial

New York, Feb. 3.-The landing
of American marines in Haiti is not
only uncalled for, but will tend to
incite a bitter feeling against Amer
leans. in the opinion Of General Jus
tin Poitevien Of the Haitian army,
who arrived here today on the steam
ship Prins Frederik Hendrix from
Haiti on his way to Paris.
American and foreign interests at
present are SAFE" he said, land there
Is no reason for alarm. The cause
Of Haitis troubles is financial. The
people resent the domineering irau
ence of the banks and the evident
freedom with which private enterpris'
es are financed to the detriment of
government interests.
General Potevien said he had not
taken any part in the present revo'
luton against President Theodor and
had left Haiti because he did not
wish to become involved in It. The
revolution apparently was supported
by the major part OF the army he
said and for this reason probably
would be successful.
