Americana
By Elmo Scott Watson

Uncle Sam VS.. Kaiser Bill
THE sinking of four ships in
L March, 1917, resulted in war be-
tween the United States and Ger
many.
The sinking of six ships in March,
1889, averted a war between the
United States and Germany.
Forty-seven years ago America
and Germany were involved in a
dispute over the question of sover-
eighty of the Samoan islands. When
the diplomatic quarrel reached an
acute stage, both nations rushed
warships to the South seas.
All of these ships left their home
ports with definite instructions to
fight if necessary and with officers
and men expecting battle.
Then the god of storms "stole
the show" from the goa of war.
March Is and l6, 1889, were the
dates of the great Samoan hurri-
cane. When it struck, there were
in the harbor of Apia, besides the
three American and German battle
ships, the British man-of-war, Cal
Hope, six large merchant ships and
25 coasting vessels of various sizes.
Ship after ship was destroyed. The
Calliope alone escaped.
The ''sea power" of the two ma
tons, which were about to go to
war, was wiped out of existence
and both would-be belligerents de-
cided to arbitrate their difficulties.
For the next 80 years they exer-
cised joint control over Samoa.
Then in March, 1917, Germany's
unrestricted submarine warfare
against the Allies included in its
toll four American ships crossing
the Atlantic and the next month
Uncle Sam declared war against
Kaiser Bill.

Fairy Crosses

"THE most curious mineral
L found in the United States is
Staurolite, otherwise known as a
fairy stone Staurolite is an iron
aluminium silicate found only in
Virginia, the reddish-brown and
brownish-black crystals occurring
in well-defined crosses"
So says a report of the United
States geological survey. But if
you visit certain valley among the
rugged foothills of the Blue Ridge
mountains in Patrick county, Vir-
ginia, the natives will tell this:
Two thousand years ago, so they
say, this valley was the home of
band of fairies. One day as they
were dancing around clea4 spring
in this sunlit valley, an elfin mes
senger arrived from an eastern land
far, far away. He brought the news
of the crucifixion of Chris, and
when the fairies heard the sad news,
they wept. Their tears fell to the
ground and crystallized into little
pebbles. On each tear-rock beauti-
full cross appeared.
The fairies have long since left
that valley but you can still find
their crystallized tears there. They
range in size from a fourth of an
inch to an inch and a half and
form some shape of a cross-St.
Andrews, Roman or Maltese. Vir-
GINA is the only place in the world
where they can be found and from
the Old Dominion they have been
carried to all parts of the world as
good luck pieces.

its part In keeping her stirred and

in his regard. II had been declared

made it manifest.
She read about the Linsdale affairs
