Haitian Soldiers
Fine Rifle Shots

Port -au- Prince, Nov. 20.-It is well
within the range of possibility that
Haiti will be represented in the 800
meter international rifle match that
will be shot in the United States next
year. The recent two-day meet that
settled the individual rifle and the
department team championships Of
Haiti showed amazing progress in
shooting in the Gendarmerie s Haiti.
One year ago the gendarme who could
have hit the National Palace at 100
yards was hard to find. Today the
champion shot of Haiti, Sergeant AS
trale ROLAND, of Jeremie, firing fifty
shots in strings of ten shots, both slow
and rapid fire, in the standing, kneel :
ing, sitting and prone positions.
scored a total of PA out Of possible
ESQ in the Presidents Match, and in
the National Team Match he was
high gun with 234 out of ESQ.
The team from the department of
the south won the National Team
Match with 1873, an average of 211
points. The central department
worsted their city brothers from the
Port -au-Prince department with a
score of 1868 against 1641, while the
team from the department of the
north landed in last place with a
score of 1890.
To ROLAND, the best shot in Haiti,
President Borno presented gold
watch, a gold medal, an autographed
letter and months pay. To the
next seven men, and to, the winning
team We're given medals and a
months pay.
President Borno, members of his
cabinet, Madame Borno, High Com
missioner John H. Russell, Brigade
Commander Theodore p. Kane, and
other Haitian and American officials
witnessed the matches, the first ma
tonal contests ever held in Haiti.
Dessalines Field, where the matches
were held, saw much firing of a diff
ferent sort prior to the American &C.
cupation, for here political prisoners
and criminals condemned to death
faced firing squad. For the next
ten months. if present plans material
ize, it will be the training field for
the team that will face the best shots
in Europe and America for honors at
the 900 meter range.

break it down by flouting conven-
ton and going 70 him at his oasis in
the desert. When she arrives there
and offers herself, Lane IS put to the
supreme test. But he conquers him
self, and proves to Muriel that there
is no harem, no weakness in his
character-and no woman in his life.
Convinced. she prepares to return
to Cairo, when she receives her sur
prise. The oasis is attacked by rene
sade Arabs, led by the Sheik's trait
orous son, who seek to kill Lane. In
the fierce battle which ensues, Muriel
reveals that she is at heart, a genu-

one as Lane could love. So they are
brought together on sound footing
of mutual admiration and esteem.

duties by one-half on products from

American commerce. Under this pro-
vision the trade Of the United States
would be stimulated with countries
favoring our exports rather than
with these placing undue obstacles
In their way. Jamaica. as an Illus
tration, finds the United States an
excellent market for Its products.
Nevertheless duty on an American
car Is 20 per cent. whereas only Id
per cent Is collected on one of Brit
ish origin. Under the circumstances,
II they were to continue. the Presi-
dent could increase duties on Jamai-
can products by one-half Of present
rates. This action would have the
tendency of diminishing our imports
OF these products from Jamaica. but
on the other hand increasing them
from countries favorable to the
United States and given over to cul-
tivation of semi-tropical products
also.
Fair Play Assured.
Determinations. other than those
resulting from COlOnidl pOllCicS, dlSO
exist at the present time. Finland
is allowing the French automotive ex-
porter to pay q duty representing but
one-fourth Of what the American
shipper Is charged. A similar ad-
vantage has also been given to
France by the Polish government.
which is in addition considering an
arrangement along the same line with
Switzerland. Even In our neighbor-
ing country to the north the French
and Belgians pay only 80 per cent.
whereas the American exporter is
assessed 35 per cent on his auto
motive product. Negotiations once
carried on by the President under
the powers now accorded him will
probably result in more favora Bile
treatment for American commerce
with these countries.
Adjust Embargoes.
Legislation. not necessarily pertain
ing to duties. may also be in force in
foreign country and adversely af
feet American commerce. CZecho-
slovakia has an embargo. but as re-
suit of a commercial treaty exempts
Italy from its application. The
States exporter is consequently shut
out OF a promising market in favor
Of a competitor. Germany is ex-
