they always begun to wonder when
''one il going TO get away" and after
that one gets away then they go after
another string. Spencer believes he
can break them ail--and tries to
break every one--and that is the
main reason he is today the greatest
of all trapshooters. Most trapshoot-
ers are OF the opinion that they can
break nearly all the targets--but not
all of them, and they usually break
just about as many as they think they
can break.
In 1919 there were FIVE runs Of
more than 200 straight by the anna
tours and six runs of over 200 by the
professionals--and these runs were
made by nine shooters out of total
of nearly 5000 participants In regis

Marines Tired Of Occupation
 Duty In Haiti
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

PORT AU PRINCE, Nov 23-Therc is no doubt of the fact that many of the. 1900 marines on occupation duty in Haiti are sick of the job. They want to go home or some place else. It Is a hard life for youngsters who are sent into mountain regions in the north, along peaks as high as Denver. Often they are away from posts for weeks, and they declare they undergo many hardships. the least of which is lack of ice in climate where II Is absolutely essential.
 Since the first session of the naval board of inquiry at Washington the men have been hearing from the home folk asking if they are taking part in "indiscriminate killings" This charge, first made by Major Gen. George Barnett, former commandant of the marine corps, and then 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, all seek in gthe truth about conditions. The marines contend that they are upon rough duty and then are held up al home as rough men with the gun.
 Major General Neville, a member of 1 the naval board of inquiry, inspected every part of the fight 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 x-ray machine on the island and naval doctors in charge assert they can not provide adequate service foi the sick. Appeals for help are said to have brought the answer that there were no funds. Haiti is not a healtf resort and there is much disease. General Neville inspected kitchens built of bits of board from packing boxes.
