found it easy to get employment. al

was to them living wage, which was
one cent per basket of coal, weighing
from s5 10 100 pounds. Some carried

from the sea. ~ ~.
1.-THE history of the Danish West
Indies is full, of interest. Columbus
found st. Thomas inhabited by Carib5
and Arwaks in 1493.s In 1867 colony
of Dutch settlers occupied the island;
but when they heard of New Amster-
dam. now New York, they left It to
become part of the new colony with
such remarkable future ahead OF u
The English came to st. Thomas next,
but in 1866 it was formally taken over
by the Danish crown. In 1764 the
king of Denmark took the sovsrn-
ment into his own hands and threW
the port OF Charlotte Amalie open,
duty free, to all nations. In 1901 the
British took the island from the
Danes, but restored it after ten
months. Again, in 1907, Britain, took
possession of ST. Thomas. but returned
It in the sreadjugtments growing out Of
the Napoleonic wars in 1915.
'St. Croix was settled by Dutch and
English, but they 'quarreled and the
Dutch had to get out in 1850. The
English in their turn were driven out
by the Spaniards. Then the French
from ST. Kits took a hand and expeli-
ed the Spaniards. France gave the Is
land to the Knights of Malta; but after
a prolonged, but losing effort to- put 1T
on a profitable basis, the KNIGHTS, in1
1920, demolished their forts, abandon
ed the island, and removed to Santo
Domingo. In 1927 the French cap
tured eight British vessels lying there
and took possession of the island
again, finally selling it to King
ChriBtian of Denmark"

THE VIRGIN ISLANDS.

lands, formerly the Danish West In-
dies. are to be the bcneflciaries of an
annual appropriation OF 100000, from
the navy department, and are to be
the objects of general Americaniza-
tion program, is the occasion for is
suance of a bulletin concerning our
newest possessions by the Natioral
Geographic Society.
Though. the group comprises fifty
islands, on the northeastern rim Of the
Caribbean Sea, only three arc big
enough TO have name on any but hy-
geographic charts and local maps"
says the bulletin. "They are st.
Thomas, st. John and st. CroiX.
while st. CroiX has an area Of
about 81 square miles and st. Thomas
but % square miles, st. Thomas is the
most important Of the group Of islands,
This importance arises from the fact
that the harbor on the south side Of
the island is one of the flrest in all
tropical America"
The story of how the war robbed st.
Thomas of her one lone industry, and
the possibilities the islands hold for
rehabilitation, is told in the following
communication OF The Society:
From the day OF the buccaneers st.

Dates form the staple food Of the
Arabs in large part Of Arabia and
are served in some form at every
meal. Syrup and vinegar are made
from old dates. and by those who dis
regard the teachings of the Koran d

GREAT MAN OF RUSSIA
Grand Duke Nicholas Shows Up
Handsomely.
is AN AUToCRAT BUT A PATRIOT
Story OF The Russian General Is The
Most Stirring Romance Of The
World War--Was Ono OF The abIcst
Generals In Any OF The Armies.

Generals In Any Of The Armies.
From March, 1917, till October 1918
Grand Duke Nicholas Romanoff, for
mer commander in chief Of the Rus
sian armies and one OF. the most bril-
liant generals Oh the great wa, was
a prisoner in the town of .Yalta In Tin,
Crimea. He is now in Milan with his
family. humbly housed. Tho story
OF big Nick is one OF the most aman-
ing romances of the war, the Pitts-
bnrgh Gazette Times states.
When the bolsheviki gained control
of Russia Nicholas was residing al
Tiflis, where he had been governor un-
der tho czar and under the Ly,of re-
gime. He was summoned to Yalta by
the belshepik authorities and obeyed
the summons. His brother, his wife
his sister.in-law and other members o.
his family and his suite were impris-
oned with him. Twenty-Five bolshcvik
soldiers were detailed to guard the do.
tinguished prisoners.
Late in the summer of 1918 1t We
decided by the ,Yalta soviet to execute
ali the prisoners. The bolshevik
guards absolutely declined to permit
the sentence of, death to be executed
and sent the firing squad back to head
quarters. Three times thereafter exc
cutioners were sent to kill the prison
crs, but in each instance the guard
prevented the carrying-out Of the sen
tcnce.
When the Germans came to 'Yalta
Nicholas declined to permit the Ger
mans to enter the house that had been
his prison, declaring his utter loath-
ing of all things German. Soon after
this the allies took Yalta and Nicholas
was rescued.
All, the private fortune of the grand
duke has been lost. His lands have been
confiscated. At Milan he lives COM
fortably, bit very unostentatiously.
Democracy owes much Ito Grand
Duke Nicholas. He was, in fact, a
stanch upholder of the old Russian alb
selutism. But first Of all Nicholas was
: Russian. He. knew Russias saliva
tion depended on the, vanquishing OF
Germany. He was leader of Coz
summate skill and it is more than
probable that only his splendid gen.
eralship prevented Germany from
winning the war in the early stages.
His retreat before the tremendous at
tack of Mackesne and Hindenbuis
which resulted in the saving of the
Russian armies. was one Of the most
notable chapters of the war.
Between the bolshcvist Russia OF to-
day and the old autocratic Russia for
which Nicholas fought, practical stn-
dents and statesmen find little choice,
but it must be admitted that the ALL.
tocracy produced great men, while the
gutter communism has found only
scoundrols for its leaders. In the
awarding of justice there should be
some provision for this gigantic Rus
sian, who in 1914 and 1915 prevented
Germany from marching to easy vic
tory.
