JOBS IN EVERY
CORNER WORLD
WASHINGTON, July 30 (by Asso
ciated Press).—For Uncle Sam’s ma
rines the fighting is never at an end.
While the great war and their part
in it is history, they still are busy in
the far corners of the world settling
small disturbances, guarding govern
ment property and awaiting any
eventuality.
In Haiti and San Domingo nearly
4,000 “devil dogs,” .as the Germans
came to call them after Belleau wood,
ere maintaining order and bringing re
calcitrant bands to justice. It is not
a “play” job by any means, and at
times lately it has assumed the propor
tions of real war. Casualty lists are
not lacking and almost every week
there come to headquarters here the
names of “leathernecks” killed or
wounded in clashes with bandits and
revolutionists.
In China the legation guard of 275
marines at Peking is ever prepared for
any emergency and for a time recently
it appeared that they would be forced
into action against Chinese revolution
ists who were threatening to attack
the Chinese capital.
In Nicaragua another legation guard
is maintained, while the marines are
aboard American warships in Mexican
waters prepared on short notice to pro
tect American lives and property
should their services be required.
In Haiti the corps is represented by
1,700 officers and men in two small
regiments comprising the First pro
visional brigade. The brigade is com
manded by Colonel J. H. Russell and
the two regiments by Colonels L. M.
Little and R. C. Berkeley. Of late
conditions in Haiti have quieted down
to some extent and - although skir
mishes with bandits are still a com
mon occurrence, it is said at head
quarters that the marines “have the
situation well in hand.”
In San Domingo an even greater
force of soldier-sailors are on duty.
Here 2,200 marines, organized into
three regiments, form the Second pro
visional brigade, commanded by Brig
adier General Logan Feland. In the
(northern part of the island the Fourth
regiment, under Colonel Dion Will
iams, is taking things easy, but in the
south the Fifteenth regiment is in the
field in small detachments, chasing
bandits and outlaws and quite often
getting a smell of gunpowder. The
Tegiment is commamded by Colonel J.
€. Breckenridge. General Feland and
his staff have headquarters at San
Domingo City and the Third regiment
is stationed there in reserve.
Since the killing of the bandit leader
at Charlemagne and a number of his
fV» a GnrrPDflpr nf
lynu 11 vi u «**• ** « —
Bertraville, another bandit chieftain,
San Domingo has assumed a quieter
aspect, headquarters’ officials declare,
and it is believed that there will be
little more active fighting on the
island. However, the greater part of
the brigade probably will be kept at
San Domingo for some time to guard
against any outbreak.
Rear Admiral Snowden is military,
governor of both Haiti and San Do
minog and the marine forces are di
rectiy under his command.
No unusual occurrences have been
reported recently by Captain J. H.
Underhill, commanding the guard at
the United States legation at Managua,
Nicaragua. Two companies are main
tained at this post.

NEW MODE OF TRAVEL
ON ARGENTINE RIVERS
BUENOS AIRES, July 30 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The use of gliders for
transporting passengers and mail on
some of the swift and shallow rivers
of Argentine may result from a trial
undertaken on the authority of the
minister of public works. On the trial
trip just made on the Bermejo river
it was shown that a passage which
commonly occupies 10 to 15 days by
the ordinary steamer could be made ;
regularly with a glider in about ten
hours providing mo stops were made.
These gliders are a French invention
making use of the flying principle for
navigation on the surface of rivers.
The plan is to import parts and manu
facture the machines in this country.

QUEBEC MECCA
OF THOUSANDS
WITH THIRSTS
OTTAWA, July 30 (by Associated
Press).—As long as profits from boot
legging are what they are, and the
only detriment is a fine of $200 or so
there will be big money in the boot
leggin game and it will be very diffi
cult for the authorities on either side
of the international line to stamp out
the traffic
That is the summary of opinions ex
pressed by Ottawa officials as to the
situation regarding smuggling of
liquor from Canada to the United
States. Further, high officials of the
royal Canadian mounted police say
that while they are doing all in their
power to check infractions of the
federal laws in this respect, it is really
for the American authorities to see
that liquor does not reach the thirsty
souls beyond the imaginary line 3,000
miles long.
The situation apparently is that
from three provinces in particular

mere is a targe rraue m uuurieggiiig m
the United States. These are Ontario,
Quebec and British Columbia. At the
same time a respectable quantity of
fiery liquid is finding its way across
from the maritime provinces and
from Manitoba.
At Windsor in the surrounding dis
tricts the mounted police are carrying
on a constant campaign against the
illegal liquor vendors, and many have
been hauled into court and been con
; demned to pay fines from $200 up. One
j parched Detroit man, however, is said
to have parted with $500 for three
cases of Scotch whiskey, which had
j reached him via “the underground
| route” a short time ago, so that the
; profits in the illegal trade are known
to be enormous. Information from
Windsor and district intimates to the
authorities here that some farmers
in that vicinity have found it more
profitable to smuggle liquor across
the border than to farm, and have
let their farm run to weeds while
they pursue the elusive dollar via
the bootlegging route.
.Quebec, it is stated, is the mecca
j for thirsty thousands of Americans
every week-end, and automobiles pass
I ing back and forth carry their loads
j of human and other freight, bound
! for the Sahara across the border.
I Under these conditions, Canadian
i police authorities admit that it is
practically impossible to enforce the
j stringent liquor laws at present in
, force.
The chief reason for the difficulty
of enforcement, according to an offi
cial of the royal Canadian mounted
police, who have under their juris
diction the carrying out of all feder
al laws, is the fact that many peo
ple are not in sympathy with the
liquor legislation, and the securing of
contraband liquor is regarded in many
quarters as an achievement rather
than a disgrace.
Howler,-if the carrying of liquor
into the United States from Canada
is to be prevented, it is intimated that
it will have to be done by an army
of customs inspectors and police on
the American side of the line rather
than in Canada.
MISSIONARY BACK FROM
LONG STAY IN JAPAN
TOKIO, July 30 (by Associated
Press).—A notable reception was held
here for Rev. Clay MacCauley of Bos
ton, who after 31 years of missionary
effort in Japan, as the representative
of the Unitarian church, has just re
turned to his home country. Dr. Mac
Cauley was hailed as an American who
had labored “for the promotion of re
ligious liberalism in Japan, a better
understanding and good will between
the United States and Japan, and the
furtherance of international co-oper
ation and peace.”
Among the organizations which
joined in the public tribute were the
American-Japan Society, the American
Association, the American Peace Soci
ety, the Asiatic Society of Japan and
the Association Concordia.
Baron Sakatani presided and the
speakers included Viscount Kaneko
and other prominent Japanese who
voiced appreciation of Dr. MacCauley’s
long and helpful work for all things
for the bettering and uplifting of man
kind.
