HAITIAN INQUIRY is ON
Barnett Cuts Death List From
$3.50 to 1880.
Explained Large Casualty List Due 20
Attacks by Bandits On
Port-Au-Prlnce.

Washington-Public investigation OF
The conduct of American Marines in
Haiti was begun by the special naval
court of inquiry, with the examination
Of Brig. Gen. George Barnett, former
c~ommandant of the Marine corps, and
Major Edmund N. McCulellan, of the
corps historical division. Gen. Bar
nett told the court hat his charge OF
"indiscriminate killing Of natives in

had learned since, he said. that the
total was $3.50. The witness explained
that the large casualty list last year
was due to attacks in force by the ban
dts on Port-Au-Prince and to the CAM
paigns conducted in the hills.
Gen. Barnett said he wanted it made
clear that his letter of last year to
Col. II. Russell in which the reference
was made to "indiscriminate killing
Of natives was based only on the re-
cord of the trial of Privates Johnson
and McQuilkin. He added, however,
that the statement of counsel and tes-
timony in those cases so shocked him

criminate killing" he had not meant
"promiscuous" killings, but rather ex.
ecutions without judgment"

It isn't pleasant to be "blown to

that it won't go? Decidedly not. 1t

do exactly what is required of it

Astrologers read this as an un-
certain day. While Uranus and
Saturn are in maleic aspect the
Sun exercises kindly power.
Although the planets hat are be-
lieved to stimulate criticism and
SANDER have power during this rule
the Sun imparts great energy to
public personages, who will be able
to override scandalmongers.
The stars are on the side of those
who disseminate propaganda,
whether it be with good or v in
tent, but Uranus imparts credulity
and eagerness to believe the worst.
To overcome the sinister direc-
ton of stars believed to hold sinis-
ter sway, men and women should
steadfastly close their minds to all
unkind suggestions.
During the government Of this
days stars and while the Moon
holds power to pervert judgment
there should be persistent effort to
what is unfavorable to humanity.
This should be a lucky time for
the giving of presents or the be-
stowal of favors.
The government of the stars is
favorable for promoters, political
campaigners and all who seek to
gain advantage through personal
popularity.
Schools should prosper greatly
this year. which will bring to them
many practical improvements.
Famous scientists will come to
this country from abroad, astrolo-
gers prophesy, and world centers of
knowledge will develop rapidly in
many American seats Of learning.
There is a sign read as foresha-
downing a flood of immigration in
which the humble will mingle with
the great.
Again party discussions and splits
seem TO be foreshadowed in more
than one state.
Women are subject to a rule sup
posed to increase their initiative
and it is prognosticated that tnose
of radical ideas will organize for
some eleventh-hour political move.
Saturn persistently gives warning
of a possible financial panic, or at
least a decided furry in Wall street.
Persons whose birthdate 1t Is

coming year. They will prosper If
they are contented with established
conditions.
Children born on this day may
be restless and ambitious. There

HEALTH ADVICE

The health of the second teeth
depends much upon the care given
the first set. AS soon as they make
their appearance, baby's teeth
should be cleaned each day with a
soft cloth or brush. When he is old
enough, the child should be taught
the daily use of the toothbrush. Of
he is given a good tasting dentifrice
or tooth paste, he will enjoy keep
ing his teeth clean).
Inc first teeth are necessary to
hold the proper shape of the jaw
until the second teeth are ready to
break through. For that reason
they should not be neglected. At
the first sign of decaying teeth, the
child should be taken to a dentist.
The first set of teeth is replaced
by the permanent teeth beginning
with the sixth year. The sixth year
molar may be recognized as the
sixth tooth, counting from the mid
line of the jaw in front toward the
back. Because this tooth comes
through at the time the child is
losing its temporary teeth, this tooth
Is often mistaken for one of them
and is allowed to remain untreated
and to decay. 1t is especially desir-
able that a child should be taken
to a dentist at this time because
the six-year molar is one of the
most important of all the teeth.
1t sometimes happens that the
first teeth are so firm that they do
not fall out, but remain in the laws
and crowd back the SECOND teeth.
making them come in misshapen
and irregular. Irregular teeth and
jaw may be remedied when a child
Is young.
Beautiful teeth are the right of
every person. Sound teeth are
necessary to good health.

BIBLE AND CONSTITUTION
BY DIR. James I. Vance.

4As SAAlHt He dllCG E
This is not a bad slogan for these
days: Back to the Bible and the Con-
stitution!
The Bible must come first. 1t is
older than the Constitution. It has
seen more service. 1t has been test
ed out in fiercer trials. 1t speaks
with an authority nothing else pos
sasses.
The men who would send the BIZ
Bile to the Stag dump are not likely
to lead us to anything better. Men
who cannot trust God are not safe
leaders for their fellowmen to trust.
The race has not worked out a
better system of morals than the
Ten Commandments and the Ser
mon on the Mount. Any social or
der that despises these sublime
moralities gives no promise of a
better day.
America needs to get back to the
Bible. That is where we started.
The men who founded. this nation
were not atheists. They had been
trained in a school of life where the
Bible was the text book.
1t was men thus trained who
gave us the Constitution. 1t is a
document Of freedom built upon
rights revealed in the sacred Scrip
lures. Inc trainers OF the Constr
tuition did not find the divine right
of kings in the Bible. They did not
therefore write so arrogant a lie
into the Constitution.
They did find the divine rights Of
the common man in the Bible. and
these are the rights guaranteed in
the Constitution. This is the differ
ence between the WORKOUT govern
ments of the old world and the
republic. At ono the peasant rose
to a level with the peer, and COM
mon life was lowered with all the
privileges and perquisites of free
dom.
1t is a freedom with restraints:
the freedom to do right, to think
without fear, to act without con-
scription, to worship without per-
secution: but to do all this with
due regard to the rights of others.
Anybody who wants more free
dom than this wants a freedom that
is not safe. Anybody who would be
better than the Bible has a good
ness that must be suspected.
1t is easy to make promises. Any
beggar can do that. But here are
two who have performed-the BIZ
BILE and the Constitution. They have
led us safe thus far. They can be
trusted for tomorrow.

The club has not been all that 1t

admitted by the reorganization that

from past experiences there is every
reason to believe that the East Jer-

1t is particularly gratifying that in
the reorganization 1t has been decid-

club. 1t forms a link connecting
the present with the past. The fact
that Perth Amboy was the capital
of the province Of East Jersey in the
colonial period makes 1t appropriate
that this important social organiza-
ton should carry the name that dis
tinguished Perth Amboy in the days
when the city was looked upon as a
possible rival for New York.
