St. Thomas, Virgin Islands,
Becoming important PORT
GAssociated Press Correspondenee.l

ASSOCIATED Press Corr~espondence.)
ST. THOMAS, Virgin Islands, July
5.-This American port is beginning
to regain some of its former maritime
importance. Owing to the war, inn
provements in this direction have
been slow since the Virgin Islands
were purchased from Denmark but
now, after considerable agitation by
business men of st. Thomas, American
steamers are beginning to call here.
This is the result of representations
which ave been made to Washington
in behalf of the inhabitants of the is
lands.
The Islanders feel that American
steamship owners and especially the
Shipping Board at Washington have
heretofore overlooked the facilities of
the harbor of st. Thomas for provid-
ing coal, fuel oil, and other stores.
While few American steamers have
been calling at st. Thomas for sup
plies, many AVE called at the neigh
boring British islands where facilities
are not considered as good as here.
The price of coal is cheaper at st.
Thomas than at the British island
