From A TaneY County Marine
Santiago, D. R.
DEAR EDITOR;

DEAR EDITOR;
AS ! was born in fancy county
aud made my home there until about
two years ago, l take much pleasure in
~ writing TO you, as editor Of the pa
per, that represents my home county.
II probably looks out OF the way to
get letter from a fellow in the service
in time Of peace or what is supposed to
be peace, but the branch Of the ser
vice in which am doing duty is never
at peace. The United States Marine
Corps is doing duty all over the world.
The sun Iever goes down on the ma
rines. Tney are found everywhere.
We do duty in the tropics, We are found
in the frozen north, in China and the
dark continent. You see we Leather
necks as we call ourselves, Or Devil
Dogs as the Germans called US in the
time Of the war, are not having a pic
mic Of it even iftheye is supposed TO be
peace. ! will try and tell you little
Of the life and service Of the marines
down mere in San Domingo. As far as
actual fighting goes We haven't much
to do as the island is pretty we'll under
military control at the present time,
The only fighting we have had since
have been here was last February.
On the tenth Of that month abont 800
bandits took a foolish idea to try TO
take the town Of Puerto Prince from the
marines. They made failure Of the
attempt, they lost 80 in killed and
wounded, and 100 we're taken prison
ers. The Marines loss were killed
and 10 slightly wounded.
We marines are havingit pretty easy
at the present time and making this
place a safe and prosperous one to
live in, nor only for the natives but for
Americans also.
I see several Americans down here
making good living while il it was
not for US marines it would be almost
impossible fer an American to live
here.
Our duty at present is to keep the
bandits from entering the towns, and
80 we have a detachment Of marines at
all the small towns. Communication
is carried on by radio and aerop!ane
from one town to another, SO things
are going about as We want them TO
60.
Quitting the subject Of my duty as a
marine, I want to ask you to please
send the county paper to Santiago D.
R., instead OF La Vega D. R. as I am
On duty here at present.
Giving you, and my county which
your paper represents, my best regards,
l am Yours Truly,

In February 1916 Woodrow Wilson,
speaking at Des Moines, Iowa said:
"There are actually men in America who
are preaching war, who are preaching the
duty of the the United States to do what it
never would do before-seek ENHANCEMENT
lin the controversies which have arisen on
the other side of the water. do not
know what the standards of citizenship of
these gentlemen may be. | only know
that for one cannot subscribe to those
standards"
