Not content with taking credit for having won the war, some of our American contemporaries are trying to figure out that credit for the first not to Great Britain, but to the United States. clusion by a strange line of reason: ing. 'In the first place they make the claim that Lieut. Brown, although born in Glasgow! and brought up in the old country, is the son of Ameri- can parents. Then they go on to ex- plain that the Vickers company, which manufactured the plane in which the flight was made, is an offshot of the British Westinghouse Company, which it bought out some years ago, and which was estab lished by an American, From this reasoning our contem- poraries assert that the credit of the flight must belong to the United States. Of course they forgot to mention that if Columbus had not discovered America the flight could never have taken place, that if thes Wright Brothers had not experiment- ed with aeroplanes 'they would have been still a thing of the future. Then, of coure, if they had not won the war for the Allies the flight could not have taken place, There x great many more reasons that American cousins could have found for claiming the credit for this feat, but, unfortunately, there are too many people in the wonNd who cannot follow this tangle argument, We would suggest' to these con» temporaries that they should not try credit where it is due. cock, men who are British born, who fought with the British army and who flew in a machine that was en- tirely built on British territory.

Of the Band of loyal and courag- cus pioneers who obtaited royal charters, and al their own expense planted sett ts in the American colonies in th seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, none was more distinguished than James Edward Oglethompd, who digd one hundered and thinty four years ago to-day. The sen of Sir. Theophilus Ogle- thorpe Bdward, after a brilliant car- eer at Oxford, joined the army of Prince Eugene, anG on the recom- mendation of the.great Marlborough, became: aide-de-camp to the prince. He served with distinction in the campadgn against the turks of 1710- 1717, and on his return to England entered "Parliament as member for Haslengere. He devoted his ener- gies andl large sums of money to the improvement of the condition of poor debtors, in Lendon prisons, and it was for tive purpose of providing an asylum for persons who became insolvent, and for persecuted protes- fants in foreign countries, that . he projected 'the plan of a settlement, which he named after - the ruling monarch George IL. George was the last established colony planted in America and by its position it serv- ed the purpose of protecting South Carolina from invasion by the Span- lards from Florida, and by the French firom Louisana. Oglethorpe was (granted $50,000 by Parliament to ald his scheme. The first settle- ment, made at Savannah, under the Briti lj soldiers' personal super- vision, and restrictions were placed by the Heuse of Commons against the sale of rum or the introduction of slaves into the new colony, These restrictions were afterwards modifi- ed, and Sir James Wright, the last of the royal governors, declared that Georgia was the most flodrighing col- ony on the continent. If was sym- pathy with the other colonies rather than their own grievances that led the people of Georgia to join the re- volutionists, In later years Ogle~ thorpe got into trouble the Gov- ernment over his conduct in connec- tion with the Stuart rising of 1745, but he was absolved of the charges brought against him and raised to the rank of full general. mi pn Turks, who outhumber the Greeks four to one, are driving the Greeks out of Asta Minor, The situation is Serious.
