tons for the sale through diplomatic
channels. but appointed committee
Of seven Of the leading citizens Of Co.
penhagen with power to sell the islands
to the United States. The Danish CON-
mittee appointed Henry II. Rogers of
the Standard Oil company and Charles

Mr. Flint advised the president that
Mr. Rogers and himself were author

$5,OO0,OOO. President Mckinley i'm
mediately replied that he would have
bill introduced in the senate authoriZ-
ing him to make the purchase.
The bill was introduced the day fol-
lowing and received the unanimous
recommendation of the committee on
foreign relations, but Senator Elkins
made objection, and inasmuch as it
was deemed by President Mckinley OF
great Importance that all matters hav-
ing any relation to the war with Spain
should be passed upon unanimously
the bill was not pressed.

now working out tentative plan for
the government Of the islands. Two
plans have been drafted. One pro.
poses civil form of government. with
civil governor. as was the case with
Porto Rico, while the other calls for a
military government, under control of
naval or military governor.
Senator Stone. chairman of the for.

red with President Wilson. Secretaries
Lansing and Baker and other admins
tration officials regarding the taking
over OF the islands. 1t is believed that
the policy will be to effect the transfer
with as little disruption of the existing
regime rs possible for the present.
Approval by Denmark's parliament
of the treaty by which the United
States acquires the Danish West In

exchange of notifications between the
two governments and contamination
Of negotiations that have been in proe-
ress Internationally since the civil war.
The American naval strategists for
years have regarded possession of this
little archipelago lying fifty miles east
or Porto Rico as absolutely necessary
to prevent any European power from
acquiring it and, moreover, to estab-
llsh there a great naval base and coal
ing station for the United States fleet.
Commercially the islands are regarded
as of mparatively little value.
The United States ratified the treaty
Sept. 9, the only question raised being
the large purchase price,

desperation against other nations

Third, that we have not the ex-
cuse for going TO war that the Euro
pean nations had.
Would it not be better as well as
cheaper for the government to carry
on its own vessels such Americans
as must go TO Europe, rather tnan
engage in war to vindicate the right
OF cltizens TO disregard ali risks and
ride upon belligerent ships:
These are the words OF America s
most loyal son, to Americans. VIII
they be potent enough 10 subdue the
war lever, inoculated into the
blood OF a peaceful nation by syste-
matte propa ganda, made in London!'
\ telegram from that city tells no"
England is coming to the aid" OF
America, by teaching TO one hundred
delegated Americans the tricks OF spy
batting and recruiting after English
pattern. If this nation has to make
the gigantic English blunders under
English tuition, if we also have t.
work on the line of disuniting the
citizens, of sowing dissensiGn and OF
changing cabinets and secretaries,
then the outlook is dark for our peo-
pie.
Let US pray ahat Bryan's appeal
will awaken true patriotism and dis
pei that cheap kind Of patriotism that
would impoverish and devastate this
glorious country of the free and the
brave.
