Washington, D. C.--Sylt isTind may become a modern Helgoland of fh« North sea. Like Helgoland, whos° cliffs gleamed with steel battlements until the close of the World war, Sylt n^y be made into a naval and air stronghold by the German government, according to" recent news reports. "Sylt, one of the North Frisian group of islands, is the largest German- owned land spot In the North sea," says, the National Geographic society. "A glance at a map of the island reveals its shape as that of a kangaroo facing the border line between Denmark and Germany. Its area is about one-half that of the District of Columbit with its widest portion only .about seven miles wide. ' - . Summer -Resorts '• 7'.- "Recreation, not war, has recently been Sylt's dominant featurfe, Only seven miles of water separate it.from the continent, Its palatial hotels and bathing' b&rehes have long feeen popular among German and other northern Europe vacationists who also are lured to it by the simplicity of life, among the rural Frisian, inhabitants who live contented in their strawroofed houses. Next to recreation, farming and stock-raising is the Island's chief Industry. "In the summer frequent steamer service from Hamburg brings merry throngs to Sylt, and for those whose curiosity would lead them Inland there is a railroad which runs almost the entire length of the island, touching important towns and villages. Spurs lead to quaint spots off the main right of-way, where ancient Sylt customs survive. For the motorist there also are good roads that link- the chief towns. "Normally Sylt's population Is about 6,000, but torrid sun's rays and hot breezes in continental cities cause several thousand people to make the island their summer retreat. Nearly half of the 6,000 live in the town of Westerland, the Sylt metropolis which lies about midway the western shoreline.. ..Oldfst Oyster Banks. "Off the southern coast are oyster banks which the natives will tell yon are among the oldest in Europe._They were, it is averred, discovered S<xt years ago by Knut the Great. Their commercial value led Frederick II. Duke of Holstein Gotorp, to seize ami make them a royal possession. "Sylt>, also like Helgoland, annua! ly gives up a portion of its unprotected coast to the storm tides of the North sea. Like a giant steam shovel the waves tear gaps into the island's ritv annually. Many miles of walls hav^ been built to protect the coastline, especially near the towns, while in sandy portions of the island dunes have been "strengthened to curb the devastation of the relentless sea. "Fohr island, lying south of Sylt, Is about 30 milps in area and has fl population nearly equal to its larger neighbor. Fohr and Armrum, both of which also are popular playgrounds are the only other important islands of the North Frisian archipelago which includes many low, small, sandy as well as grass-covered land spots that appear as though they are floating on the North sea waves."
