AMERICA NAMED BY GERMAN

In the interesting town Of st. Die.
IN French Lorraine. there was recent
iy held a celebration Of special inter
est to the people of this side of the
world. and in a lesser degree to Spain
and Italy. 1t was in honor Of the four
hundredth anniversary of the publica-
ton there of the geographical work Of
Martin Waldseemuller. In which Amer
lea was suggested as the name of the
New World.
There have been many theories and
much controversy as to the origin Of
the name America, and not a few have
resented the slight which was put
upon Columbus in this connection.
Some have denounced Amerigo Yes
pucci-who. like Columbus. was an
Italian sailing under the flag Of Spain
for stealing" the glory due the real
d~iscoverer.
But the chief wrong, II any was
done. was committed by the German
geographer In the book which was
published in 1907, and on the map
which he published a year or so later.

applied, however. only to the southern
part Of the New World. The northern
part was called Parias.
1t Is possible, perhaps probable, that
Vespucci, not Columbus. first reached
the mainland of America; and 1t was
Vespucci who grasped the important
fact that a new continent had been
found. and not simply a part Of Asia.
OF that fact Columbus died In ignor-
ance.
But rightly or wrongly, the name
Of Amerigo vespucci. trader, traveller
and writer. was given to the New
World. and given to remain forever.

to provide allyear navigation from
Vicksburg to the mouth Of Hushpuckena.
The project al finally approved pro-
vides for a lock and dam at the foot

this, it is estimated, will give . contin-

deep all the year round, as high up as

so as to furnish navigation to the point
where the Itta Bona railroad reaches

open up n of the richest sections Of the
