MARCUS ISLAND
Modern Robinson Crusoe
Has Troubles.
Captain Foster Says Jap ane 20 Gov
srnms nt Threatens TO Lower
HE stars and Stripes.

IL something Is not done 10 prevent
it, says an exchange, Captain James
Foster, an American skipper possess
ing even more than the usual amount
OF intrepid daring and pluck generally
attributed to the Yankee mariner, Is
about to be dispossessed by the Japan
ese government Of a minute little
island over which he has for many
years exercised the absolute sway Of a
potentate.
Captain Foster is somewhat of a
Robinson Crusoe The island, he says,
is his by right of discovery and by
right OF possession, and he does not
intend to give 1t up. It Is located on
the Tropic of Cancer, half way be-
tween the Hawaiian Islands and China.
Captain Foster likes the location and
he likes the climate He says 1t agrees
with his health.
The island Is five miles long and Is
densely covered with trees and shrub
berry. A white, sandy beach surrounds
1t, and near its center is knoll rising
about 200 feet above the sea- More.
over. it is near the track of vessels
plying between Honolulu and Yokoha-
ma, being 200 miles distant from Hon
olulu and on the direct route to Ma
Mia.
Altogether, and especially since the
results of the recent war have begun
to make themselves felt, Captain Fos-
ter feels that his island, which Is
known as Marcus Island, is a very val
liable possession. So he is naturally
a little out Of sympathy with the Jap
anese movement. Captain Foster be-
lieves in territorial expansion. but he
does not like to see too much of 1t, and
when, In his own words, lot of yell
low-hided, slant-eyed mongrels try to
steal this island I'm going to put a
stop 70 it."
So Captain Foster has applied to the
Government to interfere and he conf
IDENTIFY expects the Government to do
SO.
Captain Foster discovered the island
over ten years ago and received per-
mission from James G. Blaine to raise
an American flag thereon.
This was welcome news to Captain
Foster and few hours after It reached
him the Stars and Stripes were raised
on the island, and there they have
waved ever since, not single great
power uttering word Of protest, but
all. on the contrary, tacitly, II not
openly, recognizing Captain Fosters
ownership and the suzerainty of the
United States. This Is not surprising,

Malays within few months after TAX

only recently, Captain Foster says, has
such duty fallen upon his shoulders.
