He dug up an old law, dating from
Spanish times and still unchanged,

could be compelled to work a certain
cooperation of local authorities
throughout the island, had a certain
proportion of each village put TO
work, and not long afterward had Il
number of frst-class roads leading in
various strategic directions, one run
ming clear across othe Haitian bor-
ber. On these motor lorries could
run with ease; the marines could take
their bases of supplies with them, and
tivities of the ladrones were sup
pressed and island trade, heretofore
almost at standstill, was briskly
resumed.
The participation of the United
States in the world war followed
soon after this. It looked for time
as if Maj. Butler would be "stuck" in
Haiti, but not at all. An "opportune"
illness brought him back to this coun-
try and fortunate recovery enabled
him to take command of the 18TH
Marines. This fine body of some 5000
men, which reflected perfectly the
discipline and spirit of its chief. was
all ready to start overseas. Rein
forcements were needed quickly on
the other side, however. after Chateau
Thierry, and the organization was
split up and half of it taken away.
Nothing daunted, he began the reor-

explained. made a record at Camp
