WE WILL ALSO TAKE A CAROLINE.
Administration Has Designs On Still
More Territory.

Washington. November lo.-Ine
acquisition of an island in the Caroline
group, owned by Spain, will be part OF
the work of the Paris Peace commission.
Cable communication between the Unit
ed States and Manila via Honolulu is re-
garded as desirable should we occupy
the island and the distance between Homo
lulu and Guam island in the Ladrone
group is SO great as to make an Interme.
diate station necessary. Officials believe
that one Of the Caroline islands would be
useful as such intermediary station.
The acquisition of either of two of the
Caroline island which are considered
suitable for cable station would in
volye a money consideration and the
United States will pay Spain a reason
able price for its relinquishment.
