A sudden order recently for the

Guantanamo. For sightseeing lures
in his part of the island are scarce,
and civilian visits to the station itr
self are forbidden except by special
^T^tteUnlted States navy, however,
the Quantanamo base is especially
significant. Situated on the
south shore of the far wesltern c
of Cuba, it control Urn vital sea lane
between Cuba and Haiti whlch links
North Atlantic and Carribean traf
flCfn case of emergency, ships-of European
countries must travelfordays
to reach these waters. United States
vessels are not only within access of
base supplies but also have the adf
vantage of familiarity wltlr the area,
due to annual target-practice maneuvers
thereabouts. Ouantanamo
bay. the entrance to which is com
. manded on both sides by the^naval
station, is one of the best harbors in
the West Indies. Extending I2 miles
inland, it is wide enough to
the entire American fleet. At tne
same time Its entrance is i&rroweA
by a spit of land, which, together
with surrounding hills, helps
protection against both storms ana
enemy attack.
Onoe Pirate Itetreat
Once a retreat for pirates, who
used its protective shelter as a hideout
from which to pounce on shipping
to the near-by port oJ_SanLla???
this harbor was also an English op-erating
base against Spanish Santiago
around the middle of the 18tn
century. The British commanding
officer at that time was one Admlr
al Vernon, whose staff included Lawrence
Washington, brother of tne
man who was to become the first
president of the United States. Later,
Lawrence Washington named his estate
on the Potomac "Mount Vernon",
after his former superior.^the
name which stuck even after Geoige
Washington took over the property.
Guantanamo bay came int? Amer
ir-.n hands after the war of 1898.
when U. S. Marines were landed there
for action against the Spaniards.
Setting up camp on a nearby nni,
they fought off Sanish seige for several
days, until reinforcements finally
gave them control of"the areaIn
the early 1900's land on both
sides of the bay was leased to tne
United States by the Cuban government
for the purpose of establishing
the present naval base. Under the jurisdiction
of the American *mvy department,
this base is maintained
solely for the use of the fleet.
When the fleet is in, the normally
sl^epiy little town comes suddenly to
life. Then the numerous baseball
fields, tennis and handball courts
and bridle paths swa^m with sailors
and officers. Club houses and
canteens .buzz with activity and at
night the open-ail motion picture
theater is crowded with spectators.
In the Congo, Belgian government
maintains a school for elephants. The
) animals are trained, then sold or
