OUR NEW ACQUISITION
Nashville American.

Nashville American.
Our new policy Of conquest ,,.
borne its first complete fruits :. LAY
seizure Of the Ladrone Islands h, ."e
cruiser Charleston in the namo q, '"c
United States. Tue
Inc Ladrone group is constituted ~,
a string OF some fifteen small i'll.
about 1000 miles east of the ph;,''
pines and in a direct line bctwoap
those islands and HAWAII.
The islands are strung ONT g..
north to south for a distance Of ahoa4
POO miles, and look like fly specks y
the map of the Pacific Ocean. THAI.
total area is 420 square miles and ths,'
population is stated to be l O,l72. ~.
largest of the islands is the mos.
~southerly of the group, Guahau ~
which the seat of government. S,n
Ignacio de Aguna, is situated.
Magellan discovered the islands in
1921, and named them Ladrone hec.r,.
of the thieyish character Of ,hei,
population. Subsequently the ,Iesui,
missionaries sent out by Queen Ma
rina, widow Of Philip " Of Sn,,n
called the islands after their natrn,
csss, as the Philippines had boon
called after her husband. The n,uo
Marianne Islands still attaches IA
them in most of the Biographies and
Is the official name they bear in Spain
The islands are of volcanic lorna.
tion and there are several active WI.
canoes in the group. All of them ara
mountainous. They are well waterpd
and well wooded, and produce brcod.
fruit, bananas, c%0cOanuts, sugar. riw,
corn, tobacco, cotton and indigo, Tho
climate Is saluhrious, the heat being
tempered by the trade winds.
The native population, who were
Polyncsians, are about extinct. There
were 10000 Of these when first dis.
covered by Magellan. In their stead
is a population OF mixed Spanish blood,
mostly from Mexico and the phiIjp.
pines.
A curious fact about the Ladronc
Islands that is Of great Interest to
psychologists is that IN ancient civil.
zation appears to have existed there.
When Lord Arson visited the island
of Tinian, one of the Ladrone group,
in 1742, he found there c~yclopean ruins.
These have since been destroyed by
the Spanish settlers, but probably tx.
cavutions might bring some intcres..
ing facts to light.
The combined area of all the islands
is Isl square miles less than that Of
Davidson county, including the vol.
canoes ard inaccessible mountains.
The entire present population is about
the same as that Of the city of Jack.
SON.. Tenn, though the islands sup.
ported four times that number when
discovered and probably more in the
still more remote past.
