... f.,- THE MOKNING STAR, V7ELMINGTON, N.C V SATURDAY, APRIL 30; 1921. TEN l. V VIRGIN ISLANDSjlTHElR LOCATION AND HISTORY What Uncle Sam Got for' His 25 Million - Dollars Paid to Danish Government .. 4 - Tiv : ' Justwhat ' did 1 Uncle Sam get for f the $25,000,000 he paid to. Denmark for the Virgin islands? A recent spectacular airplane flight by United States marines from Wash ington over the larger islands of the West Indies to map out an air line to these latest lands to come under the American flag has raised the Question anew. An answer is given Dy me ' lowing bulletin issued from the Wash ington, D. C, headquarters of the Na tional Geographic society: I "The Virgin islands are not remote from other United States soil. They are hardly more than a stone's' throw . ' from Porto Rico. St. Thomas, - the westernmost1 of the three larger' Vir gins, is only 40 miles from that Island, and the presence of Culebra island, ' belonging to Porto RicO, midway be tween the two, ties the new posses sions still more closely to this elder American brother by adoption. - The truly beautiful view that may be had from the ' 1500-foot Treak- of hilly St. Thomas includes to the west the dim outline of the Porto Rlean coast.v - - "St. John, the smallest of the three principal island acquired by the United States, lies only two miles to the east of St. Thomas. A climb to the rugged hills of St. John will demon strate that the American Virgins are also not remote from foreign terri tory. A mile to the north lies Thatch Island, a small bit of land belonging 'to Great Britain, and less -than three miles in the same direction is Tortola ' Island of the British Virgins, almost as large as St. John. -k "St. Croix, the largest of the newly purchased islands, lies 40 miles to the south, It is not a part geographically of th"S Virgin group, but was included with St. Thomas and St. John for ad- - ministrative purposes by the Danes and is classed by the United States as one of its Virgin islands. St. Croix is a little over three times the size of Manhattan island, containing approxi mately 84 square miles. St. Thomas, with an area of 28 square miles, is about 14 miles long and lias an aver age width not much over two miles. It is therefor almost exactly the size of Manhattan -island: St. John has an extreme length of eight miles and a width somewhat over two miles. Its area is approximately 20 square miles. The entire group, including the . nu- r merous tiny , islands of small value, has little more than twice' the area of the District of Columbia, the small est of the main divisions of the United i States prosper. ."For these islands the United States paid a higher price per acre than for any other of its famous purchases. Only three cents an acre was paid for Alaska, 14 for Florida, and 27 for the Philippines. The Canal zone coat 135.83 per acre. The price per acre paid for the Virgin - islands was ap- proximately $295. , "The ' features that give the chief value to-the islands from the point of view of the United States govern ment are St. Thomas harbor on which is situated the 'principal " town of the' group, -; Charlotte j Amalie ; and Coral bay on the, island of St. John. St. Thomas '-' harbor is probably the best . developed harbor in the West Indies, and is naturally protected, except from exceptionally ? strong hurricanes. Coral bay, though entirely undeveloped, con stitutes an even more commodious and better protected harbOT of refuge. These harbors were valuable to the United States in themselves, but it was even -more important that the United States - prevent their falling into the hands of possible enemies. "The Greater Antilles, made up of the larger of the West' Indies, and the Lesser Antilles, composed of the small- r . islands, together form a gigantic crooked arm enclosing the Caribbean sea.. The Virgin islands are at the 'el bow,' the' closest point to Europe. Past this point streams the traffic between Europe and . the ; Panama canal, 'i be f tween - New York and both the east and west coasts of South and Central America, and between 'the Greater and the Lesser Antilles. It has been said of St. Thomas harbor and the town of Charlotte Amalie that they are 'on the road to everywhere.' To this fact has been due the importance' of the town; and the town in turn ha's" given to the Islands 'Of :St." Thomas and St." John what importance they have had in re cent years. Its accessibility, its good harbor, its facilities fdr coaling and storage,' and. for dry. dockage and re pairs to steamers, gave. Charlotte Amalie a place of pre-eminence among all the harbors of the West Indies be for the war. The falling off of ship ping during the war was a hard blow to its prosperity. ' "In November, 1917, soon after they were taken over by the United States, the American Virgin islands had a population of ' Slightly more than 26,- 000. ; This, was not a .great deal over half the population iri 1836. Nearly 93 per .cent of the inhabitants in 1917 were negroes or . mulattoes. A large proportion of the. few. whites " are Danes, i English has always been the predomfinant language, however, be- cause the trade of the islands has been largely withV the United States and with the English West Indian col onies. V i "The Vfirgln islanders have shown an. eagerness to become Americanized. In Its administration of the . islands the : navy department has increased and bettered S school facilities; ; and has cleaned up and. enforced sanitary reg-. ulations in Charlotte Amalie and the ,, other twot towns, both on St. Croix, Chrlstiansted and Fredericksted.

C, headquarters of the National Geographic society: "At its worst the territory which was German Southwest Africa before the world war and Germany's first venture into the colonial field . might be described as a country too dry for agriculture, lying-between : a- desert and the sea, with one of .the mst barren 'arid: desolate coast lines in the'; world; The entire coast, for a dls-; tance of 10 to 15 miles 'inland, con sists of sand dunes on which grows only- -the sparsest of desert vegeta tion. .-;:.' "No perennial rivers 'flow : into the sea across this dreary' waste through out the nearly 1,000 miles of its ex tent. Except for brief periods after heavy rains in the interior, all the sea ward drainage of the country loses itself in a wilderness of sand. Simi larly, much of the drainage to the east and south sinks into the " desert that separates German Southwest Af rica from the British territories lying to the west of the Transvaal. , "Only one reasonabuy good port ex ists along the coast betweenUhe north and south limits of the territory. And this Walflsh bay with a smalJ area around it, was In the hands of Great Britain before the Germans establish ed their colony in 1884. The existence of this tiny island of British terri tory in German Southwest "Africa, and above all the fact that it comprised, the one port, sorely needed by the colony, was a sharp thorn in the sides of the Germans. The artificial har bors constructed by , the Germans at; Ewakopmun, just north of " Walflsh bay, and at vLuderitzbucht (Angra Pe quena), 200 miles to the south, were only makeshifts. "But there is a somewhat brighter, side to the old German Southwest Af rica than that seen when one sails along its' forbidding coast. Back of the strip of sand is an upland coun try which, though it will not support agriculture, is well suited to stock raising. Hundreds of thousands of cat tle, sheep and goats are raised there. Ranches are of tremendous- size like those in the old west of the"4 United States, averaging about 25.000 acres, j Camels were imported by the Germans for use in the -drier portions of the (country; arid are .doing well. "In the northeastern corner of the territory, which is In the tropics, the conduct of agriculture is ., possible.' Cotton, tobacco and cereals may be grown. - t 1 "Even the strip of sa-nd alone the coast has proved in one place to be spectacularly valuable. - Diamonds were discovered in the sand by rail road workmen in 1908 and the coun try now produces approximately one fifth of the' world's output of dia monds. In 1914 the value of the dia monds -from this field "reached 145,000, 000. It" is believed that the gems have been washed up Troin the sea, and what . is; perhaps the "only, .'sea-going diamond 'mining company in existence has been formed. To dredge , for - the precious stones off the "shore. "Copper is mined in several places and forms one of the principal exports. Railroads connect the mines with the coast and have been built to -a number of other sections -of the'eountryr1 The German -built welL- Their mining! plants' and railrbirf' systems. in, South west Africa," as.&elfcajri their other African coJon?esiviay.been said' to be the .best n h;, continent. tInsome of', the copper: nojnJLng regions of' South west Africa" .smelting was done ' by electricity. American ' authorities, in fighting ty phoid, waged one of the most thor oughgoing campaigns known to .mod ern science..- They : cleaned every cis tern and lnnoculated with anti-typhoid serum every.'person on. the islands. Not a single case of typhoid has occurred since." - ' HOME METHOD THAT REMOVES DANDRUFF AND STOPS ITCHING SCALP An itching scalp is caused by dand ruff, and dandruff comes from neglect of the head, which leads to dead, brit tle, falling' hair. " Keep ' your ; scalp properly .cleansed and you- will not be bothered with dandruff or itching head and- falling hair. The ' best way to. rid your head of dandruff and itching, prevent your hair from falling out and make it retain its full beauty and Splendor, is to fre quently give the head ' a thorough cleansing and brisk rubbing with Am proco Medicated Cocoanut Oil Sham poo, a combination, shampoo and hair tonic.
