MARINES IN HAITI

One writer complains that a number of men who
enlisted in the United States marines in order to aid in
making the world safe for democracy, instead of being
sent to Europe were sent to Haiti, where they are yet.
1t is understood that some Of the men themselves have
not been pleased with their assignmen and it may
have been mistakenly made in the case of some indiv1d-
uals. Naturally the man who enlisted in any branch
of the national service could not designate the field
where he would, serve. He entered the service of the
United States. to serve where he was needed. but he en-
listed because Of a desire and expectation to participate
in the European war. If he is used for other service he
is apt to feel that an advantage has been taken of him.
1t is reasonable to expect that in the readjustment some
effort will be made to retain in the service those who
wish to be retained, and to release those who wish to
return to civil life.
The statement has often been made that we are
carrying on a war in Haiti without legal authority or
proper justification. We are doing nothing of the sort.
We have about 1900 marines in Haiti, and because of
their presence order is being maintained where, without
them. there would be continuous and bloody riot.
Whether viewed from the standpoint Of the interest of
the United States in the existence of reasonably orderly
conditions among its immediate neighbors, or from that
of the people of Haiti themselves our presence in that
island is justifiable and necessary.

A O R FOR THE LOSER

The familiar saying that nobody loves a fat man
might have as its appropriate complement the state
ment that nobody pities a big man. When a little man
is whipped his smallness makes it easier to sympathize
with him, but it is hard to consider in any melting mood
the whipping of a giant who weighs an eighth Of a ton.
If the tables had been turned in the recent pugiistic en-
counter. while nobody would have referred to the defeat
ed 2oo-pounder as poor little Dempsey" the fact that
he weighed half a hundred less than his antagonist
would at least have been accepted as a mitigating cir
cumstance.
Yet, if there is no occasion for an outpouring of
sympathy, it is proper to recall some things which ap-
pear to the credit of the late MI. Willard. Even after
making proper allowance for the skinful work of the
press agent in casting the sentiments of his principal in
classical mould and making him talk more like a pro-
fessor of rhetoric. the probability remains that the SEN
timents expressed were actually those Of Willard. And
made before the meeting Of July 4, while Willard
1t is to be noted that in the several statements which he
showed no lack of confidence, he neither belittled his
opponent nor boosted of his own proves.
In the ring. after the first minute, Willard made a
poor showing. / Most men would, after a pair Of thun-
derbolts had landed on them. After that he was help
less. Yet he did not show yellow" He took an amaz-
Ing amount Of punishment when he knew that he could
hope for nothing but punishment, and did not whimper.
Since the fight he has shown good craftsmanship in his
acceptance of the result. and has exhibited a philosophy
somewhat strengthened, perhaps, by the thought that
half a million dollars sailed away as the result Of his
few years in the ring.

WHAT THE PICTURES SHOW

Nothing very vital hinges on whether willard was
knocked down four times or forty in that first round.
But it is almost incredible that a man could be knocked
down SO fast that trained experts should disagree as to
the number Of times, and the fact that the moving pic
lures were brought into use to establish the fact illus
trates the utility Of the moving picture in making an
understandable and indisputable record of things which
transpire too rapidly for the unaided eye to perceive
them in their proper sequence.
The movements of a horse in action, of a rapidly
moving piece Of machinery, the flight of a bullet through
the air-these and other similar examples OF, rapid &C
ton were largely matters of theory before they were
caught by the lens of a moving picture machine. Man
might be able to see that action was there, but he could
not follow it. Now it is all simple. The pictures which
have been taken with great rapidity are reproduced as
slowly as may be desired, and it is possible to follow ev-
The scientific utility of the camera is not limited to
the analysis of rapid action. Action so slow as to be i'm
perceptible under ordinary conditions is brought within
the scope of our senses by the same means. We observe
the development of a flower. but We see merely that its
aspect changes from time. to time. There is no sense of
continuity. But with the development of days pressed
into minutes by the camera we have before us in all its
completeness one of natures most wonderful and beau
tiful acts.

The adjustment of future wars, for which I

In the attention which has been devoted to those

a tendency to overlook the fact that even when these

other young men also had conceptions of the nature OF
solemn duty. They had a discriminating sense of right

scriptural injunction to resist the devil. and they did re-

those who sought to remain at home. Their lives were
as precious, and their friends and families as dear as
were those of the DIRECTORS. But for the sake of con-
science, because of their regard for duty, they put al
these things away from them and offered themselves for
such service as should be demanded of them.

THE TWO-CENT STAMP

purple substitute was unwelcome, though necessary
The postohice department does not pay expenses. Per
haps it is not desirable that it should. The department
is a great missionary and missionary work seldom yields
large returns in dollars. With the reduction of the cost
of letter mail to the former price, there will not be
enough enlargement of the volume of letters to make
up the difference. There will be a net loss Of revenue.
The deficit will be greater than it has been. But at
the cost of a small tax the work of education which is
directly promoted by the department will proceed, and
we can stand the tax. If the abuses of the ranking
privilege were eliminated it would not be much of a tax.

IT DOESN'T FIT

Grand, gloomy and peculiar, he sits upon his
throne, sceptered hermit, wrapped in the solitude of his
own originality This was the sonorous sentence in
which the first NAPOLEON was described. A part of the
description fits the man who has aimed to be lord of
a vaster dominion than ever Napoleon could foresee
Gloomy the late emperor of Germany certainly is at this
time. Peculiar he has always been. Originality of a
sort may be conceded to him. But the absence Of the
essential quality of grandeur makes the garment a hope
less and grotesque misfit.
1t is to be hoped that the island of St Helena, the
last home of an imperial exile who, with all his faults,
had real greatness, will not be desecrated by the pres
ence of the Prussian pigmy who posed as a giant.

cept for war and Of the cessation Of German exporta-
ton. But the, experience of the first seven months OF
1914 demonstrated the inadequacy Of the present tariff
to protect American industries and to. pay American

withdrawn, and at the moment we are left naked to the
exposure of worldwide competition. Such competition

THE COMING SITUATION

The blockade against Germany is likely to be raised
soon. and trade between ourselves and the Germans re-
sumed. The flow at first will be from us to them, of
food, of raw materials. But before long Germany will
be exporting. not only potash, chemicals and dyes. but
lately been in Germany concur in the opinion that the
Germans are in position to resume production more
quickly than anyone else in Europe, once they have Sc
cured raw materials.
The German plants are intact. Many of them al
ready have orders from neutral countries to keep them
many to sign at Versailles was the consciousness of her
Industrial opportunity the moment the blockade was
raised.
Germany probably will have another immense asset,
abundant and cheap labor. If German labor is to be
employed at all it must accept low wages and long
can be trusted. German labor will shortly be grateful
for employment at. low wages and long hours.
All Europe, including Great Britain, is under COM
pulsion to begin production as soon as possible and to
produce as cheaply as possible. How soon Europe will
be able to get going again remains to be seen. The
than might have been expected we shall commence to
feel European competition not only in markets abroad.

CHAPTER ~.

What had he done? Was it some
great unnamed. ~unheard-of crime he
had unconsciously committed? Could
any one understand or excuse such
asinine stupidity? Could he yer hold
up his head again, though he fled to
the most distant part of the globe?
Was there nothing that could save the
situation? Now, before they left the
church. could he not declare the
truth, and set things right, undo the
words that had been spoken in the
presence of all these witnesses, and
send out to find the real bridegroom?
Surely neither law nor gospel could
endorse a bond made in the ignor-
ance of either participant. It would,
of course, be a terrible thing for the
bride, but better o than later. Be
sides. he was pledged by that hand
clasp to answer the appeal in her
eyes and protect her. This, then, was
what it had meant!
But his commission! What of
that? "a matter of life and DEATH"
All! but this was more than If, or
death!
While these rapid thoughts were
flashing through his brain, the bene-
diction was being pronounced, and
with the last word the organ pealed
forth it's triumphant lay. The audi
ence stirred excitedly, anticipating the
final view of the wedding procession.
The bride turned to take her
bouquet from the maid Of honor. and
the movement broke the spell under
which Gordon had been held.
He turned to the young mar by his
side and spoke hurriedly in a low
tone.
IAN awful mistake has been made"
he said. and the organ drowned every
thing but the word mistake" "I
don't know what to do" he wen on.
But young Jefferson fastened to reas-
sure him joyously:

was only a second. Everything went
