So I breakfasted carnivorously on
fish, like an Eskim0 and got no bread
until I arrived in Denmark.
Normally only about eighty minutes
is occupied in crossing the sound to
Copenhagen, but of late the journey
takes two hours, following a route a
long way north of Saltholm. The sound
today is one great mine field, Swedish,
Danish and German. Like the great
belt, it's International Waters-the mid
strait channel-are netted by TIE Ger
mans to keep the allies submarines
out of the Baltic. The crossing of the
sound in these days is not without it's
hazards, for mines are always break
ing loose and drifting into the tortuous
shipping lanes. A few weeks ago all
the steamship communication between
days, so numerous were the stray
mines. All the time nowadays the
steamers cross with lifebOats swung
out, ready for emergency.
In the Midst Of Dangersl
The Germans have camped out in all
the waters around Denmark, mining,
patrolling, maneuvering, taking neutral
vessels in for search at Swinelnunde,
! the Teutonic Kirkwall.
A few miles out of Malmo dark
speck doomed up in the snowstorn and
hove over across our course. A group
| Of Englishmen and Italians on board
eagerly leveled their field glasses. We
were out in international waters now,
where all things were possible. In a
very few seconds she was seen to- be a
patrol boat, flying the German flag
astern. A couple Of hundred yards
away she seemed to be making straight
for us, with the intention of boarding.
Our captain rang down the engines to
half-speed. But she passed without in
terfering with us, only few feet from
our leeward side. Some miles farther
we were approached by torpedo-boat
destroyer, but, as she swung round, we
saw she flew the Danish flag.
An hour later we were running up
the long, narrow harbor, damned with
ships from the ends Of the earth, and

bought for the erection of large mod

St. John Claims 900 Inhabitants.
ST.. John contains about twenty
square miles. It claims 900 inhabit-
| ants but they are hard to find owing
to the density of the jungle, the lack
of roads and the fact that there Is
! no town on the island.
The other AZ islands which are in
cluded in our purchase vary from
such bits as Sail rock, which is bare
spire of granite that looks like a~sail
and affords a home for few sea
birds, to Buck island, which Is several
square miles in area, covered with
dense growth, and full Of wild pigeons,
parrots and wild goats. Most OF these
small islands, or keys, are uninhab-
tied and many of them are practically
never visited by men.
Our purchase includes three princi-
pal cities and n few smaller villages.
The most important Of the cities Is
Charlotte Amalie, ON this island OF
st. Thomas. In the islands the town
Is called St. Thomas, it's Danish name
almost never being heard. 1t has about
1900 inhabitants, most Of whom have
negro blood, but it is not negro town
in the sense that Port au Prince Is.
The typical st. Thomian of the bet
ter class is q West Indian creole, and
Of n distinctive type. He has just
enough negro blood to make his skin
dark and his hair slightly kinky. He
is indolent and pleasure-loving, but
intelligent and pretty we'll educated.
Many Of the leading merchants Of ST..
Thomas are creOles, including the only
millionaire in the islands. These we'll
TODD creoles have their children edu-
Gated in Europe, and mingle with the
Danish officials as social equals. Many
of the young Danes have taken creole
brides back to Denmark.
Capital City Rated Beautiful.
In st. Croix are Christiansted, the
capital, and Fredrikstad, each having
n population of between 1000 and
5000. Fredrikstad is a fiat, white,
dusty town, swept by the wind from
it's open roadstead, and is neither pic
turcsque nor interesting. Christian
sted, on the other hand, is a beautiful
tropical city, full Of flowers and palms
and picturesque old houses. 1t has
pretty little harbor chOkcd with sand
and mud The bulk Of the people in
st. CrOix are black negroes, while the
dominant class are mostly Irishmen
and Danes.
From these facts, it will be seen that
we have not bought a valuable piece
Of real estate, but the purchase seems
to be amply justified. Whatever the
value Of the islands to us, our pOten"
tial value to them is enormous. The
people Of the Danish West Indies are
looking to us with faith and hope for
many things, and the whole Caribbean
world will watch our course there
with keen and critical interest. Where
fore Uncle Sans new islands are q
more important part Of his domain
than they appear on the map.
