The DANISH WEST INDIES
Islands Form Central Gateway to the
Panama CHnaI-VaiunbIc From
Strategic Rather Than From
Commercial Standpoint.

From a commercial standpoint the pro-
posed purchase Of the Danish West Indies
would not he a profitable investment for
the United states: from strategic stand
point such an opportunity for profitable
Investment has rarely fallen to the lot of
any country.
St. Thomas, ST. CroX and st John the
three islands making up the colony, have
altogether an area of less than 13S square
miles and support ut the present time
population Of $500. which is oVerwholm-
ingly negro These two figures do not
suggest any great Importance, as COM
mcrcia power is Judged to-day, nor do
they hold out much promise for the flu
ture. 1t is believed that in recent years
Denmark has put more into it's Caribbean
colony than it has gotten out of it. either
directly or indirectly.
There is little probability that the pro-
ductive capacity of the islands-in sugar,
rum, cotton, fruits, hides and skins-can
he very greatly increased. The area is too
limited. Whatever commercial progress is
made in the future must come largely
through "A resurrection of harbor trade.
Charlotte Amalia, as the port on st.
Thomas is called, was at one time the
central depot and distributing station for
goods from Europe and the United States,
purchasers from other West Indian islands
and from parts of Central and South
America going there for supplies But
with the Inauguration of better steamship
services in and around the West indies,
and with the rise of direct trading, the
glory of st. Thomas as a distributing sta
tiOn began to fade. Its harhor trade at
present is confined to selling coal and wa
ter to such steamers as call for the same
and TO supplying goods to the adjoining
/ Virgin islands, Whether or not the Danish
West Indies eventually come into the pos
session of the United States the same net
work of steamship lines and the same
direct trading which brought about the
decline in the harhor trade of st. Thomas
will tend to prevent its renewal, at least
on any large scale.
! But if time has been unkind to the
commercial standing of the Danish West
| Indies, they occupy a geographic position
which has made them increasingly impor-
tant with the passage of years. Located
in that curving chain of islands stretching
from the southeastern coast of the Uni
ted States to the northern coast of Soutl
America, from Havana. so miles from
Florida, as the northwestern extremity
to Trinidad, % miles off the coast Of

ish West Indies control the central gate

A DAYS PLEASURE.

We went into the country for 1T
tie holiday;
We longod to hear the babbling brook
where woodland breezes play.
The sun was brightly shining and the
world was like a song.
And Sammy Snappum brought his
brand-new camera along.
He took our picture while we stood
and waited for the train;
And when we left the car he gaily
took us once again.
He stood us in row and then arrang-
ed us in a bunch.
He took us IN our hunger and he took
us at our lunch.
Wiener you sought a quiet spot to
loter or TO doze,
He'd call out. please remain like
that! l want to catch the pose
He'd make you stand with twisted
neck and one foot off the ground.
While he set UP the camera and wig
gled it around.
The shutter kept on sounding like q
tiny eatlinG sun.
II YOU attempted fight, he'd laugh and
get you on the run.
At last, resigned to fate, when prepara-
lions he'd begin,
In patient petrification each assumed
a CHASTITY grin.
Unhcard the broOklet murmured and
the wildbird sang in vain
We were tagged in mind and muscle
when we caught the homeward
train.
No memories fingered with us of a cool
and idle day.
But we surely broke the record in a
Photographic way.
