The Lure OF the Tropics.

Time seems Of little account on oC-
casions like this. Was it any wonder
that Columbus was drawn back time
after time to these mysterious islands /?
Some four hundred and fourteen years
ago Columbus discovered this island.
Possibly he, too, dropped archor in
this harbOr. Then, as now, the same
tropic moon might have siyered the
waters, the same brOoding mystery
hOvered over the silent harbor, the
same fitting shadows cast their man.
tie over the distant lands, What Is the
fascination? Why did Columbus fight
disease, and mutiny and unknd men
to make voyage after voyage to this
land which finally received his bones,
only to give them up again, to be later
Juggled about until now there are
three authentic resting places for the
great restless admiral? Why do men
return again and again to the tropics
whey they know that danger lies in
wait? What is the charm, the almost
irresistible fascination? 1t is a little
question to ask but big one to ans.

Early Morning Arrival.

Early morning found us sailing into
our twenty-five million dollar harbor,
@ader the guns OF an American trans.
port We were greeted by many small
boats manned by colored 81. Thorn
aims who addressed us in very British
English and solicited our transport.
One of them had ingeniously named
his boat the Liberty" We are free
men now, sir, We have gained our
freedom" They evidently have faith
in our country. May they never have
reason to doubt it. They came under
the flag practically at the same time
we declared war Not an auspiciOuS
beginning. May they live to see a
better world, purged in part OF selfish
ness by the blood of those who will
have to die for the cause of liberty.
No one can doubt the value OF the
harbor at st. Thomas. 1t is really
three harbors in one separated by
necks of land II is admirably pro
tected by natural promontories and
lies almost landlOCked.
This harbOr was early appreciated
by nayigators and reached the height
of its commercial supremacy in the
days of the sailing vessel. Here all
ships bound for the West Indies made

the new world and the last port of
departure for the old.

Many ships discharged cargo here
and the immense stores of the city
still have their back doors on the
docks and the front doors on the main
street, a good long block away. You
go right through from street to dock
in one long avenue of merchandise
Here came the traders from all the
islands and the continent of South
America. Here goods were bartered
and exchanged, the commodities of
the old world absorbed by the new

ed with the goods from the new But
they are gone now With the advent
of steam navigation the port of st.

steam vessels put in but they did not
unload as of yOre. Battling head

they went on their way. 1t was a new
era in navigation and st. Thomas

There are two ways to the Virgin
Islands from Porto Rico. One is via
the Bull line direct from San Juan.
The other is via Fojardo, the eastern
port and the gas launch. Carmen

country from San Juan to FOjardO
Arrived at the latter place we found
an excellent hotel, where we remain

proved to be an excellent sailor, anu

the work fell on the crew, a slim bare
footed lath-like scrap of humanity,
who travelled over and under the boat,
hoisting or stacking sail, running the
engine and looking after the passen-
gers.
An Island Studded Pathway.
From Fojardo to St. Thomas is a
little over forty miles The entire
route is studded by little islands. but
unlike the song of our school days
they are not green islands. This neck
of the world is not always visited by
rain. Some of the islands rise from
water as bare and bald as a Belgian
cathedral and just as habitable. 9th.
ers show some signs of vegetation.
One of the islands, Culebra, has a fine
harbOr, and it is useful to us at this
time. not so much that we want it, but.
because the other fellow wants it
worse. This fringe of little islands per

much value in themselves but togeth-
er they form barrier to the Carri,
bean sea which must be navigated
with care.

Beautiful Moonlight Scene.

Your correspondent looked at his
watch which under the light of a full
moon could be read as easily as in
daylight. 1t was 11:30. The stars
overhead glinted through the velvet
darkness like diamond dust, and while
able to recognize many familiar con.
stellations they never seem the same.
They are like glowing sisters of their
paler brothers up north. Off to the
south the southern cross marked the
beginning of new and unexplored lati
tudes. The purple and blue shore line
of the little cove marked the rise of
land from the unruffled surface of the
water with a sharp contrast and led
the eye away to the entrance where
headland stood out against the moon
light ocean like a cameo in blues and
purples. The whole scene seemed so
unreal and mystic that we sat for
some time enjoying the novelty Of our
surroundings while the captain and
crew calmly folded themselves in

their fight to the floor Of the senate, II
necessary, 1t was said today, despite
the failure OF the senate interstate

provision in the pending railroad bill.
Before taking action however. 1t is ex-
pected that still another attempt Will
be made to get the committee to re-
consider.
For the second time the committee
turned down the proposal yesterday.
The vote stood ten against to Ave for.
The railway brotherhood leaders to-
day laid before President Wilson in
writing their proposals for a compro-
mise on his railway legislation pro-
gram and he began considering them.
The labor leaders propose instead Of a
law to prevent strike or lockout pend
ing an investigation. that provision be
made for investigation before mixed
board of employees and employers. This
they say, would settle every dispute.

War Summary

The heaviest fighting now in
any of the war areas is on the
Russian front in the Riga sector
where the Germans recently took
the offensive and drove back the
Russians a mile and half in the
region of the great Tirul marsh.
Berlin announces today that the
attack netted the Germans strong
Russian positions on front of
about six miles, with more than
LOO prisoners and thirteen ma
chine guns. Russian reserves hur-
riedly brought up were unable to
check the advance.
Attempting again to advance
over the frozen ground which has
made the effort in this swampy
region possible, the Teutonic
army has sustained reverses, ac-
cording to Petrograd today. Moth
west of the marsh they opened a
heavy artillery fire End then at
tackled, but failed to make any
headway against the Russian de-
tense. A similar result met at
tacks between the marsh and the
River Aa, and here, in counter
attack, the Russians dislodged the
Germans and drove them back.
The hghting extends to the south
east OF the River Aa near Kaln-
zem. which hes twenty miles
southwest Of Riga. Here the Rus
slams. after taking the offensive
were caught in q counter often
