GERMANY IS INTERESTED.
Inquiries "a to the Reported Oner TO Us of
the Danish West Indies.


WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.-The statement that
Denmark had offered to sell the Danish
West Indies to the United States for S.. 0O0.0O0
Is giving concern to the German Government,
which has taken steps to ascertain whether
there Is any likelihood that transfer viii
20 effected. Herr Won Holleten. the German
Ambassador. paid personal visit to the state
Department yesterday to inquire whether the
report was true. He was told that there had
been 70 such offer made by Denmark. and
that no negotiations between that country and
tho United States concerning the Danish West
Indies had been carried on since the failure Of
the attempt by this Government to purchase
the island OF st. Thomas several years ago. A
statement 70 that effect had been given out by
the de partment before the Am bassador's call.
Ii is evident from what was learned to-day
that Germany suspects that the United States
are arranging to secure tho Danish West
Indies. Germany's interest In the matter
comes from her desire TO negotiate for the pur-
chase OF a large part OF the Danish territory.
including all OF Jutland. 1t Is supposed here
that the German government hopes to secure
the Danish West Indies In CONJUNCTION with tho
transfer TO her OF JutlAnd. or at least. II the
Monroe Doctrine is applied by the United State
to obtain concessions at st. Thomas which will
permit her ships to have n suitable base OF
supplies and operations in the event OF trouble
on this sido OF tho Atlantic. Germany has no
American possessions.

not those Interested In the commercial
matter take every pains To- have them
selves represented. and Keep man at
headquarters to give Information
when required What is to take place
at Washington is very much more inn
portant than a commercial venture. II
is a matter in which every man. woman
and child on the Islands is interested.
and which will affect the welfare and
happiness Of the entire territory.
As to who should be chosen there are
several men fitted to take such a
charge, but perhaps no one better fitted
than W. O. Smith He is a son of the
soil, he is intimately acquainted with
every detail of the Government, having
occupied the most prominent of posi-
tons. He is a man of mature judg-
ment and has the interests of both the
Hawaians and the other races domicil-
ed here thoroughly at heart. Moreover
he is an indefatigible worker, and
would never lose an opportunity of af-
fording information.
This is one way in which we can put
our shoulder to the wheel and help our
wagon forward. We cast no slur upon
those who have our interests at heart,
and we show them that we are oursel-
yes ready and anxious to give what as
sistance we can in the work that they
have to do.
