SAM AS A BIG BROTHER

Military occupation of Santo Do
mingo by United States forces, which
have restored order there, is now ac-
companied by the negotiation of a
treaty that will establish virtual
protectorate, almost counterpart of
the one for Haiti. All customs duties
will be under the control of a receiver
nominated by our President, a firan-
cial adviser appointed in the same
way will be attached to the cabinet;
there will be an urban and rural con-
stabulary commanded by Americans,
and the republics foreign relations
will be subject to supervision at Wash
ington. Our government is to assist
in the development Of natural re-
sources and in making public i'm
provements under the direction of
American engineers. II will also pro-
mote education, greatly needed where
more than three-fourths of the people
are illiterate
Already there has been a beginning
OF the good work. A commission to
plan an educational system has been
appointed, new energy is seen in agri-
culture because planters ana farmers
are no longer at the mercy of organ
lied groups of bandits, foreign capital
is coming in and a railroad across
the island from north to south has
been projected. which will open much
good land for cultivation. 1t is said
that in Haiti less than one-tenth of
the area that invites cultivation has
! been used In Santo Domingo large
tracts have been neglected. What our
government is doing in these two
countries is mainly for the benefit of
their inhabitants. We are helping
them by maintaining order, protecting
! those who resire to work. striving to
| educate the ignorant and developing
natural resources The whole world
must see that we do not seek to &C
| quire territory, and that the heavy
costs of the necessary military and
naval operations is paid by our people.

ing but nowadays we are getting away
from the white table and borrowing
ideas from the modern tendencies of
interior decorations, which are so re-

The china and glassware offered that

some of the finest foreign importations.
No woman ever has too much china,
but unless it has distinct use and fits

be relegated to the background.
So old-fashioned that it is new are
many Of the designs for dinner ware.
China, silver and glass come in rat
terms to harmonic with period fur
nishings. When purchasing silver re-
member a smooth edge not only is more
durable but is more easily kept clean.

French Front. Doc. Is Correspond
ence)-Onc million casualties have
been suffered by the German armies
along the front occupied by the French
troops during 1917, according to sta
tistics carefully compiled here. French
territory amounting to many hundreds
81 square miles has been freed from
German domination by the years
fighting and the German Crown Prince
Frederick has been compelled TO SUI
fer the modification Of leaving be-
tween 10000 and 10000 prisoners from
among his hest troops In French
hands. His cannon to the humble of
14O0 have been captured. and. in addi-
ton. thousands Of machine-guns and
hundreds of trench -mortars.
Although the defeated Germans did
their utmost before withdrawing to
turn the fertile fields ana picturesque
villages OF the Somme ana Aisne
regions into a desert waste, these acts
Of vandalism did them more harm than
it did the French, whose soldiers We're
stirred thereby to q even stronger de-
termination than before To beat back
the German invader.
Three dominant events on the front
Of the French armies in France have
marked the year and each has termi-
mated in a brilliant victory for French
armies. First came the enforced re-
treat in march Of the German forces
from the greater part of the depart
ments of the Somme. Disc and the
Aisne. brought about by the combined
smashing blows delivered by the
French and British during the battle
Of the Somme in the fall Of 1916.
Then followed the French offensive
on the Aisne and in Champagne, whose
conclusion came only at the end Of
eve months Of almost continuous
fighting with the capture from the
Crown Princes armies of the key Of
the Hindenburg position formed by the
Fort of Malmaison and their reluc-
tant retirement from the famous
Chemin des Danes. This left in the
French hands all the good observa-
tories useful for future operations.
In the meantime the French had
fought and won the eliminating battle
for the liberation OF Ncrdun, in the
course of which the French troops
regained nearly every inch Of the
ground around the fortress which it
had cost the Crown Prince 800 900 men
to capture in 1916.

operations in the curse of the year.
