MARINES IN HAITI
SICK Of JOB; WISH
THEY WERE IN j. s.
Undergo Many HardsEips While
Away From Post; Ice
Is Missed.

Port, An Prince, Haiti. Nov. 16-(By
the Associated Press There is no doubt
of the fact that many of the 1.300 ma
rines on occupation duty in Haiti are
sick of the job. They want to go home
or somewhere else. 1t is q hard life
for youngsters who are sent into mount
ain regions in the north.
Often they are away from post for
weeks and they declare they undergo
many hardships, the least of which is
lack of ice in climate where it is alb
solutely essential.
HomefoIk Anxious
Since the first session of the naval
board of inquiry at Washington the ma
rines have been hearing from home
folk anxious to know if they are TAX
ing part in "indiscriminate killing" this
charge, first made by Major General
Barnett, former commandant of the
marine corps, and when corrected
by him, has gone everywhere, marines
assert, declaring that the first state
ment has never been overtaken by the
correction. This weeks steamer brought
hundreds of letters seeking the truth
about conditions The marines CON

Commends Fighting Plant
Major General Nivelle, a member of
the naval board of inquiry, inspected
every part of the fighting plant here,
and found many things to commend, but
declared it was not properly equipped.
This. he found, was particularly true as
TO hospital facilities. There is not an
ex-ray machine on the island, and naval
doctors in charge assert they cannot pro-
vide adequate sevice for the sick. APP
peals for help are said to have brought
the answer that there were no funds.
The brigader commander and his staff
have made every effort to keep intoxi-
eating liquor away from the marines.
but with almost every shop selling it
he task is difficult. Haiti's principal
native drink is rum. 1t is wild thing.
Marines who have tasted it say it is
powerful enough to drive motorcycle.

A story comes from India to the eff

cricket to them. in order to foster a
manly spirit, and they were keen on it.
After a lot of difficulties he managed
to get fair team into shape, and it
was decided to challenge a neighbour
ing school.
A match was finally arranged, and
the clergyman impressed on the
youngsters that they must do their
best to win. To encourage them he
gave them Is rupees for new bats or
other tackle, and left it to themselves
to spend the money on what might be
considered useful.
When the great day came, the team
turned out for the match. On the face
of every one of them shone the light of
a quiet confidence in their success, but
they carried all their old tackle.
