" By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN OW can any good American review his country's history without seeing the Hand of Providence in Its century and a half of amazing progress from a narrow .sy^> of subject English colonies along the Atlnntie coast to the richest and most powerful nation of earth? Ofttiines the "mysterious wity" 9* Providence has been the winning of a crisis by the raising up of a man to meet it. An example of a mail raised up--one all too little known to his countrymen--is (Seorge Itogers Clark, the "Savior of the Northwest." The following brief statement concerning George lJogers Clark is prompted by the fact that In Clark count/, Ohio, the other day the latest of tlie many memorials to this Revolutionary hero was dedicated to commemorate his victory over Indians at the battle of I'iqua --an aftermath of his greater service. No. 4 , of the pictures is the Ohio statue. No. 1, a statue by .Elsie Ward Ilering exhibited at the St. Louis exposition, is historically correct-as to derails. No. 3 is an> Illinois statue. No. 2 Is a portrait of Clark at sixty. No. 3 has few equals as a historical document. In the march of the American people across thecontinent there tire certain outstanding "Ifs of History." If Clark had not captured "The Northwest" during the Revolution the Treaty of Ver-. sallies (September 3, 1783) would have fixed the western boundary line of the victorious colonies at the Alleghenies instead of at the Mississippi. If that treaty had fixed the Alleghenies, the United States, which came into being in 178&, would have had no such compelling interest in the free navigation of the Mississippi as brought about the Louisiana Purchase from France in 1803--the territory west of the Mississippi explored by Merriwether Lewis and William Clark (brother of • George Itogers Clark). .9 . Jf we had not nwlf tits T nnMwnn Purchase we should not have beeh interested to imneaL Texas and take the Southwest and California from the Mexicans. - If \ve had not taken California, . there would not have been that tremendous trek of Americans over the Oregon Trail which gave us the Pacific Northwest. And without the Pacific Northwest we should have had no desire to purchase Alaska from the Russians. At the beginning of the French and Indian war (1754-03) between the British and the allied French and Spanish, the British possessions on the North American continent consisted of the Thir- , teen Colonies, whose charters covered the territory from ocean to ocean. The British were, however, In actual possession of only the narrow strip" from Maine to Florida, extending west to the Alleghenies. Spain held Florida, Mexico and what is now the American Southwest. All the rest wu In actual or nominal control of France. - Wolfe's victory over Montcalm <ta the Heights of Abraham was the culmination of a centurylong struggle. The Treaty of Paris (February 10, 1703) .proclaimed to the world that thenceforth the civilization of the North American continent was to be British and not French. The Frenrh had robbed the British of part of the spoils of victory by secretly ceding (November 3, 1762) to Spain that part of Louisiana lying between the Mississippi and the Rockies. Nevertheless tills treaty transformed the political map by putting the British In control,, for the first time, of that part of Louisiana lying east of the Mississippi.---- George III, in turn, made haste to rob the Thirteen colonies (October 7, 1763) of "The Northwest by reserving it as crown lands and warning everyone to keep out. Later (1774) the British parliament attempted to legalize this theft of 240,000 square miles liy passing the Quebec act, \yhi<-h extended the boundaries of 'that province to include everything north of the Ohio. The outbreak of the Revolution therefore found the British In control of the Northwest, with Col. Henry ("IIair*Buyer") Hamilton at l>etroit in active command. There were posts at Kaskaskia and Cahokia (Illinois) and Vincennes (Indiana), garrisoned by the original French settlers, who, did not love the British more but the "I.ong- Knives" (Americans) less, believing them to lie, little better than the bloodthirsty Indian allies of. their conquerors. South of the Ohio there was a different tale. The Colonists had pushed west over the crests of the Alleglunies into Kentucky, which was- "No Man's Land"--the hunting ground of the snrroundwith no man's religion. Thereupon the overjoyed villagers enthusiastically took the oath of allegiance. Moreover, so completely did .Clark win over the French that -through their good offices and co-operation by August 1 he was iii possession of Cahokia and Vincennes1--without a buttle und without the loss of a man. Hamilton, mortified and Incensed, swooped down December 17, 1778, upon Vincennjs with a consMerable force of British ami Indiaps and captured its American garrison of two men--('apt. Leonard Helm and Private Moses Henry. January 19, 1779. he dismissed his Indians, wMth orders that they return early in the spring for a merciless campaign in force against (.'lark at Kaskaskia.

Clark was quick to see that it was only a question of time before the_ Kentucky settlements would' be wiped out without substantial aid. Both Virginia and North Carolina claimed Kentucky. The settlers declared themselves Virginians. A mass meeting in June elected Clark and (iubriel Jones delegates' to the Virginia assembly. They traveled on foot to Williamsburg, to find the assembly adjourned. To the council Clark made demand for ,r>00 pounds of powder and the creation of Kentucky as a county of Virginia. The council offered the powder as a personal loan and refused the county proposition. ButaClark "dragooned" the council into granting both demands. The year 1777 found the situation even worse *ln Kentucky. Clark sent spies to the Illinois country and upon their return hurried off to Gov. Patrick Henry of Virginia with a proposition to carry ;the war to the British by secret expedition Into -the Northwest. Henry upiHiinted hitu a lieutenant venifnee, refusing to treat with individual chiefs, displaying utter indifference as to the result. Finally he presented peace and war belts and told, them 'to take their choWv. They chijse pence. Virginia immediately flinched Clark's "Conquest of the Northwest" by establishing the "County -of Illinois " Col. John Todd, as "County Lieutenant." took possession in May. set up a capital at Kaskaskia and established a civil government. It has been sa'id that the genius of the American people would have taken them across the continent in any event. But had this Kentucky military genius and his little company of rilJemeu failed to bring off their exploit, one of the most brilliant in all history, the whole subsequent course of events on the North American continent would have been changed beyond calculation or reason aide conjecture. And history as it is written proclaims that George Rogers Clark gave t» his country the territory which is now the states of Ohio, Indiana. Illinois. Mk-higan and Wisccrflsfn and in so doing made the American march, across the continent inevitable. Sense of Smell Not Developed Jn Birds Recent investigations support the popular idea that birds as a whole depend mainly on their sight to search out food, asserts a writer in the Pathfinder Magazine. Their sense of smell is far from acute. Dueks and geese and other birds which feed for long periods on land and marsh have tlieir olfactory sense further developed than others. In the majority of birds, however, it Is feeble and not at all exercised. Prof. Abel Chapman, of England, says that with few exceptions birds-- particularly eugies and vultures-- possess no sense of smell. He notes that in the Sudan when it is necessary to preserve meat from a carcass all that is necessary is to remove it a short distance und cover it with branches. The vultures discover the carcass and pick it clean but do not find ..the hidden meat. Vultures use their telescopic eyes pot merely 1 with the clouds of heaven.'
