OFFICERS OF THE HAITIAN ARMY ON THE STREETS OF PORT AU PRINCE, HAITI 



The army officers of Haiti were as fond -of gold lace as a mountain girl of bright colors. 

 Small wonder, then, that the regalia of a field marshal was everywhere in evidence. Times 

 have changed, however, and now the American marine in quiet khaki takes the place of the 

 Haitian fire-eater and his resplendent costumes.

 HAITIAN SOLDIERS CARRYING COFFEE TO THE WHARF IN ORDER TO GET SOMETHING 



TO EAT 



The pay of a Haitian soldier was small at best, nothing at worst, and at all times insuf- 

 ficient to keep the warrior fed decently. The days for loading coffee on departing ships 

 were great days in Haiti. They were days when the army got a square meal.
