The sale was not a consum- mated, because the United States Senate failed to ratify the treaty. Fourteen vears ago negotiations were renewed and a price of $5,000,000 was agreed upon, but this time the Danish Parliament refused to sanction -the sale, although the islands had been governed at & loss to the mother coun- try for many years, in fact ever since slavery was abolished in 1848, thereby putting an end to the profiable opera- tion of the sugar plantations. “These three islands of the Virgin " | group—St. Croix, St. Thomas and St. John, in the order of their size and population—were discovered by Co- lumbus in 1493. Spanish, = British, French, Dutch and Danish flags have floated over one or all of the islands at various times. St, Croix, miles southeast of Pofto Rico, has an area of 84 square miles, and is the most prosperous of the group, with its two towns of Christianstad and Fred- erickstad.

As soon as the war broke out tba American hospitals were offered Red Cross work and the usual stal wel® as many missionaries besides joined in caring for the wounded and the grievously sick. Three of the Board's most skilful and value@ aoctors have died during the year; most of the others have suffered from typhus or other epidemic diseases. The hospital building- at Van was destroyed and the Van physicians, Drs. C. D. Ussher and G. C. Raynolds. were obliged to come to America, where, by the waj they are making plans to go back rebuild their work as soon as it is feasible to reenter Turkey. Dr. E. P. Case, of Erzoom, was early summoned to Constantinople for Red ‘| Cross work and Dr. A. R. Hoover, of Talas, wha was in Ameri¢a on furtough was called back to Constantinople where he served eight months in charge of a Red Cross hospital. Not- withstanding deaths and removals all the Board’s hospitals, with the excep- tion of the one in Van, are in operation today. Mardin’s resident physician, Dr. D. M. B. Thom, was taken from his post and started under Turkish guards for Constantinople. “He died at Sivas, en route. Miss Rochel B.

Perhaps no neutral country is more affected by this war than Holland. She is maintaining an army at the present time of something like 300,000 soldiers to meet any crisis which may aris ise. Every adult citizen is liable to per- sonal service in the army or navy from the age of 19 to 40. Actual ser- vice in the ranks is determined by lot, but substitation is not permitted. Holland’s population is about 6 1-4 millions. Tts navy consists of seven battleships, four cruisers, about forty torpedo-boats, six ines, and eight destroyers. Holland’s frontiers are defended by very few fortresses. The great line of defence is the watey.
