JING, OCTOBER 12,1917.
the Micron esi&n Islands tre Japan's
booty in the Greet War?the three*
across the Pacific was landed at Midway
in its 7.SOO mile spanning of the
sea.
In doing this, Midway has been
raised?as those who did it say?"from
a valueless atoll to one of the moat important
islands in the Pacific Ocean,"
because the United States demanded
that wo have an ail-American cable
to the Orient.
Here, between 3,000 and 4,000 miles
either from Asia or America, Midway
was made habitable.
(In r, bo? EC t-i-t- J

two ana a ball miles at Its greatest
length, five two-storied concrete buildings
were erected. Trees, shrubs and
turt have come to surround the station
where 12 years ago there was nothing
but coral sand.
Vegetables are being raised on soil
brought from Hawaii. Five cows, 25
pigs, 100 ducks, chickens, donkeys,
have been brought oversea to augment
the teeming sea fowl breeding on Midway.
About the station are more than
2.000 canary birds, the off spring of a
single pair brought to Midway by the
station superintendent, Mr. Daniel
Morrison, to whom the credit for changing
Midway is largely due.
?*
Midway is vital to our thread to Asia |
because as the messages spelling happenings
in the Orient speed to America
tliey must be stepping stones across
the Pacific.
This word across the Pacific
strengthening bonds of trade and drawing
together East and West, makes
Midway, protected by its reefs, a station
of prime importance on the high
road of peace upon the Pacific,
