MARINES IN HAITI
SIGKOFJHEIR JOB
Complain of Hardships and
Widespread "Indiscriminate
Killings" Charge.
PORT AU PRINCE. Haiti. November I
24 (by the Associated Press).?There :
is no doubt of the fact that many of i
the 1,300 marines on occupation duty in i
Haiti are sick of the job. They want ;
to go home or somewhere else. It is a ;
hard life for youngsters who are sent j
into mountain regions in the north, i
along peaks as high as Denver.,
Often they are away from post for '
weeks, and thev declare thev undergo
many hardships, not the least of which ]
la lack of Ice in a cl'mate where It is
absolutely essential.
Hear From Hone Folks. *
Since the first session of the naval
board of inquiry at Washing-ton, the
marines have seen hearing from home
folk, anxious to know if they are taking
part in "indiscriminate killings."
This charge, made by MaJ. Gen. George
. Harnett, former commandant of the marine
corps, and then corrected by him, j
has gone everywhere, marines assert,
declaring that the first statement has
never been overtaken by the correction.
This week's steamer brought hundreds
of letters all seeking the truth
about conditions. The marines contend
that they are on rough duty and then I
are held up at home as rough men with i
the gun.
Maj. Gen. Neville, a member of the
naval board of inquiry, inspected every j
part of the fighting plant here and found I
many things to commend, but declared
i it was not properly equipped. This,
: he found, was particularly true of hospital
facilities. There is not an X-ray
machine on the island, and naval doctors
in charge assert they cannot provide
adequate service for the sick. Appeals
for help are said to have brought
the answer that there were no funds.
Haiti is not a health resort and there
is much disease.
Files Have Free Access.
Gen. Neville inspected kitchens built
of bits of boards from packing boxes, j
There was no way to keep out the files j
in such a structure. Field kitchens are
in use generally.
"Put in a requisition immediately for j
a new cooking outfit." said the general, j
"If we are to be here ten or fifteen
j years we might at least have proper
j accommodations."
j The brigade commander and his staff ;
I have made every effort to keep intoxi|
eating liquors away from the marines.
' hut with almost everv shop selling
drinks the task is difficult. Haiti's principal
native drink is rum. it is a wild ,
thing:. Marines who have tested it say |
it is powerful enough to drive a motor j
cycle.
CUDAHYS SEEK EXTENSION j
OF STOCKYARD FRANCHISE j
Want 10 Years Added to Witcbita,
Kan., Contract; Propose New ,
Issue to Pay.
The Cudahy Packing Company and
Edward A. Cudahy yesterday filed their
plan for disposing of their holdings in
stockyard corporations under a decree
of the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia. The company's holdings in- !
elude, it is stated, 6,635 shares of the j
; Wichita Union Stockyards and a mi- i
| nority Interest in the Salt Lake Union 1
Stockyards. Under the propored plan j
Edward A. Cudahy undertakes to secure ;
for the Wichita Union Stockyards an 1
extension for ten years of its present i
contract with the Cudahy company, in I
consideration of which it is suggested j
that the 6.63G shares of the Cudahys be i
transferred into a new preferred non- i
voting 8 per cent cumulative issue of 1
the same number of shares.
A minimum of 3,500 of thes^ new
shares and a maximum of 3,317 shares
are to be offered to the present remaining
shareholders of the Wichita Union !
Stockyards, prorated according to their
present holdingB. to be paid for by January
1, 1921. The necessary legal proceedings
in Kansas to effect the proposed
changes may be completed by the '
beginning of the new year, It is stated.
The small minority holdings in the i
Salt Lake Union Stockyards, the com- 1
pany says. It expected to dispose of j
among persons in the locality of the;
yards and still hopes to complete the
sale.
Because of the filing of the Cudahy !
and Morris plans only yesterday, -and j
because it has not yet reached a de- '
cision about objecting to the Swift and
Armour plans, the Department of Justic*
obtained an order from Chief Justice
McCoy extending until November
30 the time for filing of objections.
Hearing on the plans was deferred by
the court order until December 14.
Thanksaivina. What la It? 1
0 07 ** ? ? "
BY DR. FBABTK CRABTE.
(Copyright. 1920.)
Thanksgiving' is a stats of mind.
Jt is not a conclusion of logic.
You cannot get all the evidence together.
present it, argue eloquently
about it. and convince a single soul that
he ought to be thankful. Because you ;
are trying to push him to a goal along J
the road of reasoning, when the only |
way he can reach it is by the road of
feeling and imagination.
Hence it is strange to see every year,
about Thanksgiving time, the efforts
made by many to give a list of reasons
' why we should be thankful, as though
thankfulness were to be come at by
arithmetic. '
When you analyse thankfulness put
it into the test tube and search for its
ingredients and test it by the spectrum
and X-ray. You discover that it is no
more nor less than the outward sign
of an inward grace, which is humility.
That is to say, if one thinks he gets
more than he deserves he is thankful;
if he believes he Is getting less than he
ought to have he is not thankful.
But we are social animals, and few of
us make our estimates by looking at
ourselves alone. And it is not so much
What we ourselves get that troubles or
comforts us; it Is a comparison of our
own condition with that of our neighbor.
And here comes into play the greatest
misery producer, wretchedness
spreader, and unhappiness breeder that
is known to man.
That is, envy.
Most of us would be fairly contented
if it were not for other people.
Our feeling of injustice is not caused
by the fact that we have only bread
and butter, for bread and butter are
good and we really like them, but by the
fact that the other fellow has pie, which
is bad for us.
There is, therefore, but one sure
recipe for thanksgiving, and that Is to i
get the habit of considering our own j
state without reference to that of j
others.
You are perfectly comfortable In your
cottage; why should you lose flesh be- j
cause your neighbor has a mansion?
You have a good bed and sleep well, i
_ why should you thorny your pillow by i
thoughts of his bed which cost a thou- j
sand dollars?
You have enough to eat and drink, I
why worry because he has more than he i
can eat and drink?
Envy Is almost always directed
toward the superfluous. \
It la envy that makes workmen bitter,
and women catty, and youth sulky, and
politicians vlotoua, and drives many a
business man to bankruptcy.
It Is the eternal struggle for precedence,
the desire to outshine, outdo,
and outrun our neighbor that Is the fly
In our ointment of contentment,
Not for nothing was the commandment
"Thou eHalt not covet" put among
the ten.
Abate your hot egotisms, and put i
away your unolean envies, and yeu will
And this earth and your place in It not
so bad.
Confucius said j "He dislikes nene.
x he covets nothing?what can he do but
what Is good?"
There It all is, in a nutshell, Despise
no human being, envy .none. Such
a man Is continually In a state ef
thanksgiving;
