colonized by the Dutch, who were sue
ceeded by the English. Then came the
Danes, who have held the Island
since 1871. st. John was settled by
the Dahes in 1884.
Both the Dutch and English settled
st. Croix in 1926, and In later years the
island was ruled by Spaniards and the
French. In 1858 Louis XIV sold st.
Croix to the Knights of Malta, and
they in turn gave way to the French
West India company in 1865.
The island proved to be a poor In
vestment and was abandoned by the
French in 1896, the whole population
going to Santo Domingo. st. Croix
was virtually uninhabited until 1873,
when the French sold the islands to
the king of Denmark for $375,0O0.
The early prosperity of st. Thomas
was due to the fact that in 1854 the
Danes declared it free port, to which
all vessels might come. st. Thomas at
once became a distributing point for
much of the West India trade, and for
many years an immense business was
carried on there. Now there is q pos
sibility that q new and perhaps bright
er chapter will be added to the mari
time history of the port.
From the deck of q vessel I'm the
harbor the town of Charlotte Amalie Is
Nstrikingly beautiful covering three
spurs of mountain clad In tropical
foliage. From the heights above the
town one may see on 8 clear day the
islands of Porto Rico, Bieques or the
Grab, and st. Croix In the distance and
there are many other extensive views.
Sir Frederick Treves, the famous
British surgeon, In his book, 1.-THE
! Cradle of the Deep" calls Charlotte
Amalie the most picturesque town In
the whole sweep Of the Windward
islands.
1.-THE walls Of the houses" he says,
"are for the most part a dazzling
white. Some are yellow or gray or
orange; certain Of them are blue. The
roofs are always a generous bright
red. Between the houses and over
shadowing the roofs are clumps of
green trees. Here and there can be
seen stone stairs climbing up through
the town, gardens with creeper-cov-
cred walls, tufted palm, many
arched arcade, the balustrades of
shady terraces, Viewed from the sea
Charlotte Amalie would seem to be a
place for those who make holiday-all
gayly tinted villas and palaces, where
the factory chimney, the warehouse
and the woeful suburb are unknown"
st. Thomas was a famous retreat OF
buccaneers, one of whom was Teach,
or Blackboard, who had IA wives.
Sir Frederick tells how Master
Teach was killed in bloody duel on
the deck Of his ship, and how his con-
oueror, Lieutenant Maynard of III. M.
s. Pearl, cut off his head and hung it
on the bowsprit Of his sloop. with
this strange ornament swinging from
the bows" he adds. land with ID pi-
rates safe in the hold, Maynard set sail

All of the Danish islands are of vol
canic origin and surrounded by coral
reefs. The surface OF the land varies
from low coast plains to mountains,
but springs and streams are not plen-
tiful and at times the country has
suffered severely from drought.

flag. Thus the hopes Of Germany or
any other power that covets the
islands are doomed to disappointment.
Last February a Copenhagen dis
patch told about a pamphlet having
been published by M. Hageman, a
planter of the islands, who advocated
their sale. He was pessimistic about
their future. Their sanitary condition
was bad, he said infant mortality had
reached rate Of 621a per cent, while
the population was decreasing at an
alarming rate.
The decrease of population-most of
the inhabitants are colored-is per-
haps the best index of the gradual i'm
poverishment of the Danish West In
dies. In 1923 their population was
10000; in 1S41, 1000; in 1890, $1,000
while the census of 1911 fixed the mum
Der at 270S6.
Absentee landlOrdism, combined with
land monopoly, has induced poverty
and discomfort in the islands, and the
people have cast envious eyes upon
Porto Rico from which they are sep
arated by only few miles OF water
They have seen Porto Rico and her

dies in order to avert financial disas-
| ter, and the Danish islands have had
to contend with the same economic
conditions, while possessing fewer ma
tural resources than the British
islands.
If the United States takes control of
ST. Thomas, ST. Croix and st. John it
is probable that they will again be-
come prosperous. The black man will
take up the unused land he cannot get
now, new capital will go in, and the
sugar growers will have better facili-
ties for marketing their crop-the sta
pie product of the islands. And the
islanders themselves will feel quite at
home with officials who speak English,
for they have always refused to use
Danish. the language of their rulers.
The Danish islanders have a meas
ure of self-government, and it is rea-
sonable to assume that they would de-
mand similar rights from the United
States.
Like all islands of the West Indies
the Danish possessions have had q
checkered history. They changed
hands several times in the days when
the nations of Europe fought for sea
mower and a share of the wealth of
this hemisphere. Columbus discovered
the islands on his second voyage. They
were then inhabited by Caribs and
Arawaks. In 1857 st. Thomas was
