HARDLY had the French relin. 'AA quished their hold on Haiti in i804 when Gen. Henri Chrlss tophc, Q former Jamaican slave. set up a kingdom of his own dee sign. In all history there was to be no more stirring, no more dras matic story than that of his reign.
 Proelaiming himself Emperor of Haiti," Chrlstophe drove the white planters from their lands, created dukes and counts and princes from among his choicest Fubjccts, and ordered the rest Into the most merciless of slavery.
 Hc then began the execution of his fondest characterization of Christopho's Citadel; lmpreg. nablc fortress atop a 2000-foot cliff. Slaves toiled and dropped and died In that work, dragging the myriad tons of masonry and cannon up tho steep prcclpltous trails. And Christophe ordered every fourth man shot who Jagged on tho job; and then every third man; then every second man. Hiss tory credited 30,00o human saerl. fees to that wild dream.
 But at last it was finished; q vast, rambling, beautiful citadel. And It was finished none too soont for revolt had struck the "BlaeE Napoleon's" Kingdom. Suddenly these same toillng subjects massed into Q bowling, rnurderous mobI Thousands streamed up the cliff to the great palace. chrIstopho reeog- nIzed the end. Seeing hls last slave turn against him, he turned Q pis- tol to his body and died, a silver bullet In hls heart.
 That WIS 100 years ago. But today ChriStophe's citadel stands
 -t.

BLOCKADE PLAN
SEEN AS 'FEELER'

WASHINGTON, Aug. u. (UP)
The United States again has
warned Japan and China that
they will be held financially re-
sponsible for any damage to the
property of American Nationals
or any injuries they sustain as
direct result of the Sino-Japanese
clash, Secretary of Safe Cordell
Hull said yesterday.
This position was taken by the
government in the early dyas of
the struggle. The second formal
notice was viewed here as Amer
ica's reply to Japanese threats to
impose a peaceful blocade" of
the China coast. Hull said ne has
not been officially notified by the
Nipponese government that 1T in
tends to establish such block
ade, but he explained that a Jap
anese authority in Tokyo confirm
ed these plans to American dip
lomats there and that he consid-
cred this action sufficient to put
this government on formal no.
tice.
Hulps notice it was understood,
did not embrace the stand this
government will take if the pro-
posed blockade interferes with
American shipping in the Far
East. Observers, however, took
the position that in declaring that
in declaring that the United Stat
es reserves all rights and interests
of it's Nationals in the trouble
area that Hull indirectly includ-
ed those interests bound up IN
American shipping. =,
The acutious attitude adopted
by Hull toward the freedom OF
the seas" issue is understood to
have been prompted by two fac
tors: (D Uncertainty whether
Japan will impose the blockade IN
violation of all principles of IN
tcrnational law, and (2) the eX-
tend to which the blockade would
be carried out if established.
There is a feeling among some
officials here that the blockade
threat was a "feeler" by which
Japan sought to determine how
far she could go in her undeclar-
ed war against China without
bringing down upon her head the
wrath of the great military and
sea powers whose Nationals have
a huge financial stake in the Far
East.

night refused to say what this
