HAITI REPORTS SHOW ISLES PROGRESSING
Improvements Recorded in Trade,
 Revenue and Public Works

Prince, Haiti. April 15.-- The rehabilitation of this island under 1 the provisions of tho treaty of Sept.
 lG, 1915. has gone steadily forward
 during the past year in all its mani
 fold phases and the departmental re-
 ports of the American navy officers submitted 10 John II. Russell, the American high commissioner, show il io have been the most successful in Haitian annals.
 Tho Improvement recorded in trade and revenue was duplicated in public works construction, in hospitalization and sanitation, in tho maintenance Of order by the native gcndarmcrie and the consequent withdrawal of Amcri- can marines from all posts in the in- terior. An agricultural program for the development Of Haiti's great but neglected natural resources was in- augurated.
 Under tho training Of the American navy officers the natives arc taking an increasingly greater part in all branches of administrative and tech nical work. The number Of Haitian commissioned engineers and architects has been increased 10 total of 19 in conjunction with the navy's engineers as principal assistants or on special projects, Virtually the entire clerical force is now Haitian. and in all other branches their number is be- ing increased in line with the Ameri- ran policy to train them to carry on when American withdrawal takes places.
 The expenditures or public works Has double that Of last year and on

concentrated in Port-au-Prncp and Cape llaitien. Banditry no longer exists, and the prestige of the native troops has been greatly enhanced. Their rifle efficiency is shown by the fact that 1928 men out of c.Df2. fir ing for record on the T.. <. army sie- cial course E. qualified with per contage Of 65.
 Fire lighting. prison reforms and prison vocational training were among other activities of the Amrri- can administration all reporting steady progress and efficiency, and rigid traffic rules left The year with out single traffic fatality.

road and bridge work alone it wa.
 five times that of 1922. In one see.
 ton of the interior which, few years
 ego, was hotbcd of bandits. the re-
 suit is that the inhabitants are pros-
 porous, money is in circulation. and
 the men at work rebuilding and plant ling.
 In addition to the maintenance of
 GOO miles of grarellcd roads, about B miles of a road to shorten the route between Port-au-Prince and Cane Haitien were constructed. and by con nsction with the Santo Domingo ruaas 1 will reduce motor travel between the two republics from three days 10 one
 day. Culvert and bridge work has 1 kept pace.
 l Ilaiti's motoriously dangerous coast i line has been given nine new lights to
 aid navigation and on TOrtugas island. l famous in the days of the Spanish Main as resort of buccaneers and i pirates, the masonry work Of a light | has been completed. A lighthouse tender has been provided depot completed. and an organized light
 house service is in operation. Communication have kept abrrast of other improvements. about &50 miles of telephone and telegraph lines being now in operation. The revenues
 from these sources increased 33 per cent last year.
 The public health service reports that TO serious epidemic marred the rast year. and the determination that the so-cailad 'cholcrine" is n form of bacillary dysentcry was it's outstand- ing accomplishment in research work. An intensive study of the disease called 'yaws'' also was carried ont in tho regions most afflicted. leading to the hope that this tropical scourGe may be eradicated. The public health service has been hampered by lack of funds. its budget allowing but ton cents a person year. Nevertheless. ii maintains ten hospitals with dispen- aries, and total bed capacity of SS0. ! Rural clinics have been established, i each under the supervision of a com potent native physician. and in them . more than 10000 treatments were ad- l ministcrcd in the first nine months of 1 their existence.
 In the midst of these activities the | Americans found time and means to relieve famines in the northwestern and central sections of tho island TO- suiing from drought and consequent crop failures.
 Rigid sanitary work was prosecuted, being made from house to + ouse, of markets. foodstuff sales. street cleaning, elimination of mos quito breeding areas. campaign .i against rats. dogs and other disease and finally a campaign Of 2 education in the schools.
 One of the most gratifying results of the years work is shown in the t, dHaiti. It now has an | unlisted strength of @.5l0, all natives. l md A Haitian officers. This force has l aken over every interior post former y held by American marines. The | \merican marine brigade, numbering IS officers and 1884 men, is now !
