OFFICER SAYS GUAM SCENE OF
FIRST j. S. SHOT In WORLD WAR

Far away in the South Pacific is
a tiny tropical island where more
than 100 Americans are living, Yet
it is virtually unknown. 1t is lar
from the routes usually followed by
tourists and, strange as it may
seem, Americas first shot in the
World war was fired there. The
Philippines, the islands nearest i'm
portant neighbors, lie about 1900
miles westward.
The name of this little known is
land is Guam. 1t is about thirty
miles long and from eight to four
miles wide. and has been owned by
Uncle Sam since the Spanish
American war Thousands of U. S.
marines have served there for vary
ing periods, living amid surround
ings typical Of the South Sea Isles.
Although unfortified Guam'S
chief value to our government is as
a naval base, and nearly all Of It's
white inhabitants are attached to
the naval service. Its population,
including the naval establishment,
is about 1880.
Most Of the marines who go
there expecS a Robinson Crusoe eX-
istence," says Lieut.. Col Thomas
E. Thrasher, Jr., who conducts re-
cruiting activities for the marine
corps at 13O South Broadway. Los
Angeles, Calf. Many Of them are
surprised when they learn that
Guam is quite up-to-date with
compulsory education, a hospital,
radio and cable stations, and many
of the comforts and conVeniences
of the mainland.
The easy-going natives are called
Chamorros and are a mixture of
Malay, Filipino and Spanish blood,
the latter a heritage from the
Spanish pioneers who settled there
permanently in the 18th century.
They are engaged chiefly in the
cultivation of cocoanuts, the dried
kernels of which are called copra.
From copra valuable oil is OBJ
tanned, used in making soap, hair
oil, cosmetics and similar prepara-
tionS.
Ruled by Navy
"Nominally under the rule of an
officer Of the U. S. navy who serves
as governor, most of the policing
of Guam is in charge OF the U. S.
marines. The sea soldiers rarely
have trouble with their native
charges, who for the most part are
law-abiding and are given the ut
most liberty in the conduct Of their
affairs.
Despite their temporary isola-
ton, the marines have no lack Of
amusement, and they go in for
swimming, tennis, golf and base
ball. They have been known to
play football under the palms. Of
ten their tours Of duty are varied
by trips TO Japan. and many OF
them see service in China before
they return to the United States.
When the news was flashed by
cable to Guam on April 6, 1917,

NAVY OPENS
BIDS ON NEW
SHIP BUILDING

WASHINGTON. Aug 7. UP
The u. S. navy chalked up another
milestone today on the log OF ltS
course toward a full treaty
strength navy by 1912 with the
opening of bids for construction OF
13 additional warships.
Bids to the navy department call
for construction Of one light cruis-
er. one aircraft carrier, three tor
Eedo-boat destroyers Of the 1850 ton
class. five destroyers Of the l,50O
ton class. and three submarines.
These ships are to be built in prl-
yate shipyards of the country.
In addition. the navy is 10 receive
estimates for Il other WarShipS. TO
be constructed in navy yards. The
estimates probably will be submit
ted within the next few days. The
ships to be constructed in navy
yards are one light cruiser, seven
torpedo-boat destroyers OF the 1900
ton class, and three submarines.
The construction was all author
lied under the Vinson-Irammell
bill providing for treaty navy
Construction Of the aircraft car
rier and the two light cruisers will
bring the navy TO treaty strength
in these categories. but will leave 1t
short by some 54 ships Of the full
strength provided under the Lon
don naval treaty The shortage is
entirely in destroyers and submar-
ines.
The question OF constructing one
or more capital ships to replace the
now aging battleships OF the line
has not been definitely decided by
the navy department.
