100000 SCHOOL
OF FOREIGN TRADE
Service Institution Planned
Which Has Support of Pow
erfuI Financial interests.

Georgetown University is to have a
school of foreign trade. A movement
started by James H. Farrell. chair
| man of the National Foreign Trade
Council and president of the Ameri-
can Steel Corporation. will result in
obtaining an endowment fund of
| 81 .000, 900 TO provide a curriculum by
which students may be trained in all
details governing foreign trade. The
United States will thus be able to
maintain and expand her commercial
gains of the past five years.
The school is to be established on
a broad and liberal basis. governed

he was starting the fund with 100000.
but that S1,O00.000 would be required
to endow' the school and provide a
members of the foreign trade coun-
Gil to give substantial support to the
movement.
One group of studies in the course.
according to Mr.. Farrell, will en-
brace modern languages, including
and Spanish. These languages are to
be taught as a flexible, rather than
as a mechanical. instrument. Added
to this group there will be taught
economics. commercial law, political
science and shipping.
A special faculty of twenty men is
now available in Washington. The
location of the school is considered to
be ideal, in view of it's proximity to
institutions in which it will be most
interested.
In letter explaining the project. Mr..
Farrell says that Georgetown has had
such a school in a small way, the
provisional half-year having begun
February II of this year. closing on
June %. Twelve members of the first
class have been placed in foreign
service. The next session opens Oc-
tober 2. Mr.. Farrell states. and 80
many applicants are already in sight
that the chief difficulty will be that
of finding adequate space" adds Mr..
Farrell.
rThe overhead expenses of the school
might readily be met without a wide
appeal, but the ultimate purpose for
which it has been established cannot
be fulfilled on the broad, nationwide
basis desirable unless a large endow-
ment is provided.
mot less than $500, 900 will be re-
Quired at the outset as the endow-

British government has Just sent an
importausmission to the Caucasus for
the purpose of attempting to bring
the three principal peoples in that re-

Armenia. These three British experts

PEKING. China, August 1s.-There
is great congestion of trains north
Of Harbin owing to a strike. The
impossibility of securing food for
the passengers has brought about a
serious situation. Volunteers at
tempted TO conduct one train through
to Harbin, but they were fired on
by bolshevist workmen and forced to
return. Gen. Pleskoff has sent an
armored train to suppress the dis
order. 1t is understood that the
Chinese military authoritiR are pre-
pared to take active measure to de-
fend the railway against the boil
sheviki.
Last night the Harbin railway au-

workmen had decided to attack the
prison and liberate the strike leaders
whom Gen. Pleskoff had arrested,
but a strong guard of Chinese was

NNSBLOCK|NG SEA
ROUTE TO PETROGRAD
"Red" and "Anti-Red" Mines Laid
in Baltic Also Obstacles
to Ships.
BY BAssETT DIGBY.

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago
Daily News, Copyright. 1919.
STOCKHOLM, Sweden. August 1s.-
Is there really any concrete obstacle
to prevent any one running ship
load of goods to Petrograd? 1t is
reported here that this question Is
considerably debated in some Amerf-
can commercial circles. The answer
is. yes. The ship must first run the
blockade of the Finnish authorities,
who Will seize it's cargo as contra
band. In the second place a tangled
zone Of bolshevist and anti-bolshevist
mines bars Petrograd from the open
Baltic.
Nikola Lenin's friends in Sweden
recently made another of their peri
odical advertising demonstrations by
dispatching a small steamer to Pet
rograd. AS this motor ship. called
Per, was of less than 200 tons, 1t
was not necessary to apply for a spe-
cial permit to go to a foreign port.
When she had reached the vicinity
of the Finnish port of Bjorko her
captain got cold feet" about the
mine prospects and terminated the
trip by stopping to ask the Firms
about the mine fields.
The Firms found that the cargo, con-
sisting of Ill tons Of gaspipe, was
consigned to Lenin. In the words Of
the official Finnish bureau, las Fin
land finds herself in a state of war
with the bolsheviki the cargo is de-
clared seized" Here we have clear
explanation Of the workings of the
Baltic blockade. 1t is Finland who is
maintaining it and she declares that
she is at war with Lenin. Moreover,
the Swedish government recently ask
ed the American and British lega-
tions here as to their attitude toward
sea traffic with Russia. The American
legation replied that hindrances still
existed and denied the widely pub
lished report alleging that an Ameri-
can food ship had recently arrived In
Petrograd.
No definite reply has yet been re-
ceived from the British legation, but
The Swedish foreign office declares
from its own investigation that all
sea traffic with Russia. continues to
be hindered by mines, which make 1t
impossible for any vessel to use the
channel to Petrograd."

From the days of the buccaneers st.
Thomas strategic advantage has been
realized. for when the Spanish main
was the happy hunting ground of the
gentlemen of the black flag this har-
Dor was their headquarters. Behind
its outer hills the pirate craft found
shelter from the open sea, and were
well screened from the sight of pass
ing ships until the moment came to
pounce down upon them. In more re-
cent times 1t has played the role OF
safe harbor for the thousands OF ves-
sells bound from Europe to Panama
versa. With free port, where re-
pairs, ships stores and coal might be
had, upon which there had been no
levy of tariff duties, the shipping
world found the harbor of Charlotte
Amalie an attractive way station on
most of its Caribbean routes.
The result was that agriculture In
st. Thomas fell into decay. and near
ly all of the activities of, the island
population were devoted to the In
terests of its harbor. and one OF the
finest coaling stations in the tropical
"In addition to the coaling station
there is a floating dry dock and a
marine slip. where splendid repair ia
ciIities are provided.
"As long as these facilities were in
demand st. Thomas was q fairly pros
porous island. Men and women alike
found 1t easy to get employment. at
least for a part of the time. at what
was to them a living wage, which
was one cent per basket Of coal,
Weighing from eighty-flve to one
hundred pounds. Some carried as
many as two or three hundred bas-
kets during the four or five hours
required to coal a ship. When not
doing this work, they found consid-
cradle employment discharging coal
from freighters which brought it to

annual appropriation of 100000 from
the Navy Department, and are to be
the objects of general Americaniza-
ton program, is the occasion for is
suance of bulletin concerning our
newest possessions by the National
Geographic Society.
Though the group comprises fifty
islands, on the northeastern rim of
the Caribbean sea, only three are big
enough to have a name on any but
photographic charts and local maps"
says the bulletin. .'These are st.
Thomas. st. John and St. Croix.
while st. Croix has an area Of
about eighty-four square miles and
st. Thomas but twenty-eight square
miles. st. Thomas is the most impor-
tant Of the group of islands. This i'm
portance arises from the fact that the
harbor on the south side Of the island
is one of the finest in all tropical
America"

War Changes Things.

''But then came the war in Europe
and all was changed. The steamships
Of Germany. which made continual
use Of the harbor of st. Thomas, were
driven from the seas. and where for
merly all was business and enter
prise, only now and then ship found
Its way into port. and the people of
St Thomas, their agriculture neglect
ed for years found Themselves un-
able to gain . living. either from the
land or from the sea.
The history of the Danish West
Indies Is full Of interest. Columbus
found st. Thomas inhabited by Caribs
and Arawaks in 1893. In 1857 a col
island, but when they heard of New
Amsterdam, now New York. they left
1t to become a part Of the new col
ony with such remarkable future
ahead of It. The English came to st.
Thomas next, but in 1856 it was for
crown. In 1854 the King of Denmark
took the government into his own
hands and threw the port of Char
lotte Amalie open. duty free.s 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 1t in the readjustments
growing out of the Napoleonic wars
in 1915.

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 ex-
PEELED the Spaniards. France gave the
island to the Knights of Malta. but

to put 1t on a profitable basis. the
knights. In 1920. demolished their
forts. abandoned the island. and ree
moved to Santo Domingo. IN 1927 the
French captured eight British vessels
