Firm for n-American Stand.
President Vincent told interview
ers yesterday that his countrys
small army, lin its limited capac-
ity,' was ready to join other nations
of this hemisphere in repelling any
threat to their common security.
He told a questioner his trip had
no military significance, but that If
this Government desired any in
formation regarding Haiti's military
situation his military aides who ac-
companied him here would be glad
to furnish it.
II firmly hope" he said, that the
results of these talks will be clear
and lasting and that they will con-
tribute to strengthening the friendly
confidence inaugurated by the good
neighbor' policy of President Roose-
velt."
Trade Shifts to U. S.
The chief executive said the
United States had replaced Eu-
ropean nations as the chief country
with which Haiti carried on its for
eign trade. He said he hoped to
stimulate this trend by his present
visit.
When asked about the Haitian
Dominican dispute which arose in
1887, with border clashes in which
several thousand Haitians were
killed, Mr.. Vincent replied the mat
ter was definitely closed.
Although the Dominican Repub-
lie in 1898 agreed to pay $75O,0OO
indemnity, Haiti later agreed that
the total amount be reduced tt
$575,000, he said. This has beer
paid in full and an agreement ha:
been signed removing difflcultie!
over immigration, one Of the chie1
causes Of the 1887 clashes.

all these little foothill cities, River
side, San Bernardino, ETC., and over
Cajon Pass to the Mojave. That part
of the desert is SO interesting any
way, for it is where the weird Josh
ua trees grow We stopped at the
little desert towns and loafed along
as We pleased. and then when we
reached the Calico mountains, we
crossed a dry lake to the old mines.
The Calicos are the most striking
mountains anyway-they justify the
name, for they are all the colors you
can think Of, just like bright bits of
calico. The boys and l had roamed
through them before, but we had
missed something-the little ceme-
terry on a rocky knoll where /
counted seventy-nine graves. There
is SO little soil, that each one was a
cairn of rocks, and the old head
boards were crumbling to bits, al
though we could make out a name
now and then.
We drove down into Death Val
ley past Silver Lake which actually
has water in it for the first time in
many years When we returned to
the main boulevard for Las Vegas,
and started up the last divide, we
ran into magnificent storm-snow
until we could scarcely see to drive
All the mountains around us were
white, and it was so exciting to be
in snow again. We reached Las
Vegas about 5 O'Clock, and that
night we did the town with its bars,
gambling halls and everything just
wide open as in days of the old west.
