But there is another question,
of even greater moment, upon

NEW TRENCH DEVELOPED
BIZ THE NETHERLANDS

The HAGUE. August 2l.-The War
Department Of the Netherlands has de-
veloped new sort OF trench for use in
the low and nlarshy parts OF the coun-
try where, In case of an invasion. the
chief battles might be expected. Fight
ing along the User has taught the
strength of water defense above all
others. For this purpose. as is we'll
known. the so-called "watcrlIne" has
been brought into readiness But a
great deal Of lighting might take place
upon the endless tracts OF meadows
which lie all around the capital OF the
kingdom. The trenches which will here
be constructed Will be arranged in such
a way that at a moments notice they
can be turned into flooded bitches.
In the warfare In France and Russia
a conquered trench means an added
strength for the enemies. who imme-
diatcly turn the trench into fortress
of their own. The Dutch trenches.
when ii Is necessary TO abandon them,
will almost automatically become
deep flooded ditch, which will be OF no
use to any one and will merely form
another obstacle on the way forward.

TOTAL NUMBER OF DEATHS
NOW STANDS AT 200

GALVESTON. TEXAS. August ell
The total known number Of deaths
from the hurricane, both for Calves
ton island and the mainland OF South
east Texas to-day stood at 200.
The city Of Galveston will receive
no fresh water from its big pumping
plant at Alta Iona for several days
at least owing TO a break in the sub
merged main which runs near the
causeway between here and Virginia
Point, according to an announcement
made. early to-day by Mayor Lewis
Fisher and other city officials.
Two Of the principal railroads en-
tering Galveston to-day were an.
thori-ed to construct a new pipe line
along the causeway across the bay to
connect the broken supply main Of the
water system at the mainland and the
Galveston ends. The railroad engineers
expected to have an adequate supply
of fresh water by next Tuesday at
tho latest.
MOST SERIOUS PROBLEM
OF STRICKEN CITY
The problem Of water supply for the
city and the flushing OF the sanitary
sewers are regarded as the most So
rious problem faced at this time by the
city authorities.
Since Tuesday water for domestic
use has been furnished residences, res
taurants and hotels chiefly from the
stand pipe which was filled when tho
storm struck tho city
officials Of the electric light and
trolley car companies stated to-day
that the resumption of those services
depends upon the restoration of the
city's usual water supply.
Efforts are being made by the har-
bor freboats to pump out into the bay

Haiti is far different from Santo

occupies the eastern two-thirds OF the

sometimes San Domingo.
San Domingo was Spanish colony.

COUNTRY HAS EVEN
ITS COLOR PROBLEM
Haiti was a French colony. The
French language is used. The country
has a color problem, but not OF white
and black. There is rivalry between
the mulattocs and blacks. At one stage
OF Haitfs history tho mulattoes set UP
government in the south and the
blacks another in the north.
God has been good in Haiti. CO.
lumbus found here a smiling island
inhabitated by 100000 Indians Of the
gentlest disposition.
Fruit and flowers abound, making
| life easy. The trade winds drop their
rain plentifully. The climate for tho
most part is even. the temperature in
the hot months moro bearablc than in
New York.
But the indolcnt blacks have sur
fered the fine buildings of the French
cities TO fall into ruins and live in most
miserable shacks The streets and the
sewers are identical. They depend on
the rains to wash away the filth, and
as result all centers Of population
are most holes. where whites soon take
sick and die.
Haiti is about one-third the size OF
New York State. Vessels for the Pan

It will surely miss unless some out

Haiti is nominally republican, but
in reality 1t has been ruled by a sue

pie eeem pleased with their form of

keeps the laws or breaks them, ac-
cording to his within. The difficulties OF

the high officials can neither read nor
