The islands are located 160 miles from Havana, 1600 miles from New York, 1212 miles from the Panama canal and but 525 miles from La Ouayra, Venezuela. -- Zalaads Discovered by Columbus. These islands of the Virgin group St. Croix. St. Thomas and St. Johns, in the order of their size and popula tion were discovered by Columbus in 149$. Spanish, British. French. Dutch and Danish flags have floated over one or all of the islands at various .times. St.' Croix, lying 65 miles southeast of Porto Rico, has an" area? of 84 square miles, and is the most prosperous of the group, with its two towns of Chrlstlanstad and Frederikstad. It was held at one time by the Knights of Malta, having been given to that famous order by Louis XIV of France. St. Thomas, which lies only 40 miles east of Porto Rico, waS at one time the chief distributing center of West Indian trade.

Preliminary preparations - looking to the withdrawal of General Pershing's punitive expedition from Mexico were in progress, today. "Stop orders" have been issued to the ordnance and supply department at the Columbus base while, from private sources, it was re ported that the American-outposts at EI Valle, Charcos and San Joaquin are being drawn Into the field head quarters at Colonia Dnblan. However, in military circles here lack of infor mation is professed as to the actual movement of American outposts. Empty Traoks Southbound. Replying to queries of Andres Gar cia, Mexican consul general here, to the commander of the Carranxlsta gar rison at Casas Grandes, the latter wired: "No troops have yet reached Colonia Dublan but many empty trucks have passed here southbound." Military officials In this district as sert that huge quantities of reserve supplies and ammunition: must first be moved to the border before the actual march of troops begins. They regard the present activity as the first of a series of necessary preliminary moves. After the order of withdrawal Is actually issued it will take at least two weeks for 12,000 men to reach Ameri can soil. Marching steadily 15 miles a day, the infantry will be -on the march eight to ten days. Transportation a Bis; Problem.

There were many effervescing hearts around the modest hamlet of Osweso at that time. Wonderful things, were expected by the people, as a result of the new venture.

I ' i II.- Washlngton. Jan. 20. (I. N. S.) The compulsory employment of Bel gtan workmen in' German establish ments is being seised upon by the enemies of Germany as welcome op portunity for inflaming publlo opin ion in neutral and hostile countries against this alleged latest violation of the Belgian people, according to a me morial from the German government dealing with the deportation of Bel gian workers, which was delivered to the state department today by the Ger man embassy. Among tbe points mad! la defense of Germany's attitude are: That the measures are in no wise detrimental to the Belgians from an economte point Of view, aonsldering the extent of the unemployment there, the principal cause being the ruthless British blockade, which has caused the closing of Belgium's principal Indus tries. - . BAploymeat Called sreeeesary. . That Germany's seising of raw prod ucts had nothing to do with the unem ployment being done in factories which already had shut down." That 1.560.000 people la Belgium were in need ' of assistance and that employment was necessary to keep self respect instilled in the Belgians and to enable them to retain their skill as workmen. That the ordinance against Idleness was to be enforced only In eases where the unemployed person refused, with out satisfactory reason, to perform work of which he was capable, or for which he was offered adequate pay and that every reason for refusal based on International law was considered satisfactory. laborers are WeU Treated. That laborers were not forced to par ticipate tn military work. That laborers sent to Germany are placed on the same footing with Ger man laborers and are receiving higher wages than ever paid in Belgium and. in addition, provisions have been made for a part of these wages to be turned over to relatives who remained at home. The laborers also are granted leave at regular Intervals to return home to visit their families and on requeat may bring their wives with them to Germany. That thousands of Belgians have ap plied for the chance to go to Germany and thus place themselves on a self respecting basis of supporting them selves and even saving money.
