SummaryResumen

The *South Bend News-Times* recalled the 1915 revolution and the mob killing of Haitian President Sam that led to the deployment of U.S. Marines under the Monroe Doctrine. The article contrasted French-speaking Haiti with the Spanish-speaking Dominican Republic, describing both nations on the shared island. It asserted that while marine forces had established order in coastal cities before being reduced to a skeleton force, unrest and voodoo sects persisted in the remote highlands.

El *South Bend News-Times* rememoró la revolución de 1915 y el linchamiento del presidente haitiano Sam que condujeron al despliegue de los infantes de marina estadounidenses en virtud de la Doctrina Monroe. El artículo contrastó a Haití, de habla francesa, con la República Dominicana, de habla hispana, describiendo a ambas naciones en la isla compartida. Afirmó que, si bien las fuerzas de los marines habían restablecido el orden en las ciudades costeras antes de reducirse a una dotación mínima, las revueltas y las sectas de vudú persistían en las remotas tierras altas.

from their quarters into the street
