1t took Uncle Sam more than %

knew instinctively-or was told by
someone whose judgment he trusted
that Uncle Sam should have foot
hold in the West Indies for good and
sufficient reasons. 1t should be re-
membered that it was Seward who In
1867 bought Alaska from Russia for
S75O0,OO0 In spite of nationwide rid
icule and got a famous bargain.
Negotiations were started again In
1901 and failed. Another effort in
1910 accomplished nothing. Then
came the purchase Of 1917. Evidently
some high interest in the United States
wanted the Danish West Indies and
knew why it wanted them.
These Virgin islands are part of the
Leeward islands, West Indies, lying 40
miles east of Porto Rico The West
Indies form a vast archipelago that
stretches In a curve from Florida to
the northern coast of South America.
They separate the waters of the At
lantic ocean from those of the Gulf
of Mexico and the Caribbean sea.
There are several well-defined groups
the Bahamas, Greater Antilles,
Lesser Antilles Qncluding Leeward
islands,, etc, etc. The Greater An
titles include the big and important
islands like Cuba, Porto Rico, Haiti
and Jamaica. The Lesser Antilles
curve in a double column from Porto
Rico south to Trinidad.
Somewhere in the West Indies is the
spot which affords the natural control
of the Caribbean sea and the water
approaches to Uncle Sans Panama
canal. There are in the West Indies
the republics of Cuba, Santo Domingo
and Haiti; the American island of
Porto Rico; British, French and
Dutch East Indies, and the American
Virgin islands.
What did we get for our S25.000,000
when VIC bought the Virgin islands?
We got about so islands, only of
which are large enough to be consid-
cred except on photographic charts.
These are st. Croix Spanish, Santa
CRUZ St Thomas, which has one of
the finest harbors in the world, and
the smaller island of st. John. Nearly
all of the islands are mountainous and
rugged. Hurricanes are frequent, but
the climate is fairly healthful. Ne
groes form the bulk of the popula-
ton Altogether, we got about 40
square miles and population of 49,
600. The city of st. Thomas or Char
Iotte Amalie, was formerly the COM
merciaI metropolis of the West Indies.
The name of Virgin islands Is also
used geographically to include. In adj

FOR N. C. STATE, 17-7

RICHMOND. Va, October 25-The
Flying Squadron's speedy backfield
swept Virginia Military Institute to
a 17-to-7 victory over North Caro-
lima State here this afternoon.
Breaking through to States goal
in the first two minutes of play, the
Cadet backs harassed the North Caro-
linians through a thrilling contest.
Harmeling caught a detected State
punt and ran 30 yards for the first
score of the game. w. White added
the point from placement.
In the second quarter a brilliant So
yard run by w. White together with
a series of short bucks put the ball
across. State was offside on the kick
and the Cadets were given the point.
A few moments later v. M. l.
tasted for the last time Of the State
goal when w. White booted a place
ment kick through from the 20-yard
line.
1t was at this point that the North
Carolinians stiffened and from that mo-
ment forward the game was hotly
contested. The rejuvenated State
eleven carried the ball swiftly. down
the field with a combination OF
straight foot ball and aerial passes
Lassiter made the final plunge that
put the ball over. He also kicked the
goal just before the whistle blew for
the half.
Both elevens made threatening
drives during the second half, but
lacked the steam to carry across the
goal. Once a pass was intercepted
by Harmelng, who ran 80 yards tc
States one-yard line. Cadets failed
