Dear Sir
Please allow me space IN your Valu-
able paper to say these few words:
| would like to know if one Of the St.
Thomas Football Clubs would play the
Dreadnought Football Club of this town
a match on the first Sunday in June over
here on the Ho)ger Danske Ground at 4
D. m. and it would give US great pleasure
to play the return match in st. Thomas
after.
Having read in the ST. Thomas papers
about the matches played over there |
hereby forward this challenge to any
Club.
The D. F. B. c. is always ready to
play any Club, and if this challenge is
accepted, we hope to have a pleasant
time. and prove which Club is the strong
est.
Thanking you FOR space.

jority of the customers and |patronizers
Of the dairy would be delighted at the
sound that the dairy will serve them
again on such a day at the new price.
Now may | ask for whose good are the
Food Commission furnishing, or depriving
the dissatisfied people, for the merchants
pockets or the longing stomachs of the
people
For our Government to prevent the
sale Of our cattle, or anything else which
St. CroiX has the opportunity to furnish
Porto Rico with, should cause US to say
almost what President Castro said when
he was denied the freedom of the City
of New York; he said, They should then
coUer the statue of Liberty" But as there
is no such statue on either of the two
islands, we should say TO haul down the

Dear Mr.. Editor,


With your kind permission to a
little of your valuable space, allow me
to comment a little on the bic mountain
of milk which the whole island is stun
bling over during the last ten days.
During these long days since the Dairy
has been closed and no milk to be had,
there seem to have been less deaths
among the adults and invalids, and just
on the other hand, or other side, which
ever you care to say, are the beautiful
babies which nave been brought to be
weighed on the now idle milk scale, the
closing of the dairy. When | told her
that she had gained half a pound and
did not need any more milk from the
dairy, she smiled and buried her face
delighted on her nana's shoulder. May
we not Their throw a glance at the good
old adage which says in every evil
there's a good"
Editor Jackson, in my opinion was very
liberal when he a short time ago in com
menting on the precious Marriage sa-
crament" said, that the religion of many
was only Skin deep; but my belief at
that time and up to now, believe it was
and is only surface deep" Just as you
would take a piece of chalk and daub
the black skin or a piece of soft char
coal and daub the white skin, only soil
ing the surfaces.
Religion a thing Of the past, or per-
haps not yet born" as a friend remark
ed to me sometime ago.
In my opinion and perhaps | am alone,
there should be no competing with the
mich COWS and their calves with the
uncertain sale or price Of other cattle
which are raised for working or market
use particularly. Through long years of
trying" experiences in the milk bust
ness. the terrible losses in its different
ways or forms, would, as Editor Jackson
said about the making of our butter, fill
a volume" Therefore L dare not lose
my time, or waste, or use the editors
valuable space to explain it here.

FEW AMERICANS VISIT HAITI.
Are Disguised by Hordes of Beggars
Along the Streets.

Port Au Prince, Dee ll.-Americans
seldom come to Haiti except on BUSH
mess. 1t is the rarest thing to see a
tourist here and ship travellers, stop

rush aboard again after hurried sur
sev of the water front section. The
hordes of beggars besetting the, visit
ors as they attempt to walk through

lame and the blind discourage the Wis
tors.
The chamber of commerce, mindful
Of this evil, is trying to end 1t, for
the organization admits that it is the
thing that turns tourists away. Aside
from the occupation forces there are
about 200 Americans in the capital.
Only four full steaming days from
New York, Haiti is lucky if its gets

Americans sits back toward the base
of the mountainside overlooking the

BANDIT SITUATION
nv HAITI is BETTER
From Viewpoint of Marine Corps 1t Is
Extremely Satisfactory, Accord
ing to Major General Lejeune.

Washington, d. c.. Dec. 1.-THE
military situation in Haiti and Santo
Domingo from the point of view OF the
marine corps is extremely satlsfac-
tory" Major General Leleune, com
mandant OF the corps, declares in his
annual report to the secretary OF the
navy, made public to-day.
A year ago, the bandit situation IN
Haiti was "quite serious" General
Lejeune says, but the present brigade
and gendarmeirie commanders have
handled the situation in mastery
fashion and now banditry has been al
most completely suppressed"
There has been no serious bandltry
in San Domingo in the last year, Gen
eral Lejeune says, adding that on his
recent visit he found the marines sta
toned there to be in efficient condi'
tion.
The latter effects" of the world war
have nearly disappeared from the
marine corps, the commandment con
tinues. He believes that both officers
and men have overcome the relaxations
and unrest which followed the war
and that they are working increasingly
to maintain the efficiency of the corps
at its highest standard.
General Lejeune recommends that
legislation be enacted which will allow
the retirement of marines who served
either as warrant or commissioned Of
fieers in the World war with pay of
the highest grade in which they served
during the emergency. He also urges
the creation of the grade OF chief
marine gunner, chief quartermaster
clerk and chief pay clerk for the corps,
the grades to be filed by promotions.
