It lias always hoon a mystery why
tin* Mayflower landed at Plymouth,
Instead of picking out some place
where there whs a good hotel wltli
iiiofleru conveniences. It must have
hcea a cheerless sight; wldeli greeted
the eyes of the Pilgrim Father as he
left the Mayflower and saw nothing

It was an uninviting spot. Hood table

mits that It lias been borne witness

investigators of dream phenomena

may he remarked that the literature

thut Major General Harnett's total1
of liaitain* killed by the marines und
gendarmerie i:i about five years of
occupation wan wroi.g hy u round
thousand. In his i-cj#ort of Oct. 11
to Secretary Daniels the General
I (rave tm number u.i ;j,!!fiO ,.j iuj
said:
"Ilf the total number killed during
the five and a half jfears the murines
have iperated in Haiti, considerably
more than hulf, in fact, 1,7118, were
killed in the repulse of the attack on
Port uu Prince und during the ope-
rations immediately following and
made necessary hy this attack.”
The period in which casualties were
counted was between July 1015, and
June HO, 11)20, and therefore the
period was not five and u hulf years,
hut something less than five years;
but that was a slight error compar-
ed with mistaking a total of 2,250
for ,",250. How wus such a blunder
made? Major Edwin N. McClellan of
the Marine Corps explained to the
naval court that the columns of na-
tives killed had hem added up in-
correctly, und he absolved tho Gen-
eral from responsibility. Major Mc-
Clellan submitted at tin- bearing a
corrected table of the casualties. It
is worth a little study. Two hun-
dred and twelve Huitains were shot
>U 1916, 60 In 1916, only 2 In 1917,
55 in 11*18, 1,8(11 in llllil and 90 in
1920 so far, making 2,250.
A surprise lurks in this corrected
table. It will be remembered that
according to General Harnett’s re
port, 1,7(18 Huitains were killed in
the attack on Port au Prince. Only!
one ut tack is ever mentioned, und I
that occurred on Jan. 15, 1920, if,
an official statement given out in
Washington on Jan. 1(1 was authori-
tative, and not during the year 1919 '
Hut it was in 1919 that police work,
required the killing of 1.801 natives
Are we to believe that ninety, or,
less, perished in the attack upon the;
capital in the early morning of Jan.I
1and that General Harnett was
wrong about another of his totals?
lie put the dead in the raid on Port
uu Prince at 1,7(18. One can not
help feeling that the operations in;
Haiti cull for the strictest kind of
inquiry when there is such a mud-
dle of figures so early in tho tail-
ing of testimony. Perhaps the year
1919 has been mixed up with 1920.
At the hearing recently General
Harnett’s “indisv riminutv killings"
were reduced to three, the product
of two courts martial. Hut ia the
General’s letter to Col John II. Hus-'
ell. commanding the corps in Haiti,
he charged that ‘practically indis-j
criminate killig has gone on for some
time.” He now says that "the word
I used and the conelu ion I reached Q
were due to the effect produced by;
these cases (the two < if.n ts-murtinl) I
on nty mind.” Judged by the tenor j
of the testimony, the Haituins disrlox-j
arcs promise to become less shocking1
as the inquiry goes on. Before the
court rose on Wednesday, the total of,
killed for 1919 in the table submit
ted was accounted for by the fact
that in that year a drastic computin'!
was carried on against the bandits1
This leave, one more puzzled than
evir hy the reduction of General
Harnett's casualty list of 1.7(18 ir
the attack on Fort au Prince to les
than ninety.- New York Times.
