you have opened cheerfully" and generously the gates of your citics to this cxilcd pcoplc and you have invited them to partake of your hospitality with a brotherly love.

Francesco Crispi, one- time prime minister of Italy, writes in his diary of tircecc: "Tilt! sea, the sky, the soil of Greece have something divine in them. \\'e Italians have many bonds with Greece and many mutual ties. Once in Greece it is these ties which make us feel so much at home.” And in a letter to his friend (iiuseppe Martini, lie speaks 0f tircecos enthusiasm for the Italian cause. Ow- ing to tradition and to the mutual tics between (irccks and Italians, he adds, the Greeks believe that Italy “shall be their protectrcss, once our country shall come to occupy its proper place as a free state zunoug the Iiurtipean powers." Such sentiments, declared tlic statesman, “were like balsam to my heart." Historv sffords few examples of such base ingratittide as Fascist Italy has shown in re- ptidiziting these solemn pledges.

Thicflttziwa appoiiitiiit-iit of a National \\'ar Charities Funds Advisory Board is not before time. Under the Defence of Canada Act no in- dividual or organization was permitted m launch a war charity scheme without official pcrniis- siou. This had to be twbiaincd through the $cc- rotary of State at Ottawzf. who had no (lirect representative in any of tlic provinces. Consc- quently those desirous of obtaining official ap- proval had to get in contact wiili the powers that be at Ottawa and not inficqiieinly" the cou- scquclnt delay inierfcicd rather diszistrously with the proposed campaigns. Nmv, by the ap- pointment of an organization wiili an advisory official in each province, it will be a simple matter for those interested t0 put their proposal before the local representative. In this Province Mr. \Valter S. Grant has been appointed, and no better choice could have been made, for he has been active. for years in iuangtirating and stipervising charities ofva philanthropic and pa- triotic charactcr. ‘

British successes over 10111113 troops in Egyp. are attributed in yesterdays oespatclies to ‘the 5171611‘ did cooperation between field forces, tne Royal Navy and the Royal Air I-‘oroe. The latter £01136 15 119N131 by Air Commodore Raymond Colli- snow, one or Canada's greatest aces in the lvst war. The followmfl sketch of Commodore Collishawks career appeals in a booklet re- ccntly issued by the, Dominion Qt?- fense Department, Ottawa, entitxd "canadlrs Air Heritage,’ for pre- sentation to members of the Royal Canadian Air Force:

Air Commodore Raymond Colli- shaw has fought. in the air over Genntmy. France, Holland. Bel- gium, Russia, Persia, Mesopotamia, Palestine, Egypt and at the pre- sent time holds a vital post with the Royal All‘ Force in the Middle

East

This fabulously varied career has brought him tne reputation of be- ing the Dhfirtagnsn of British ur- men: s career that begun at the age of i8 with a Polar expedition lnw the Antarctic. l-lnvinz ranged through the personal conquest of 60 planes bctut-cn 1915 and i918 and the participation m numerous post.- Wlf‘ campaigns, it is proceeding in characteristic pace, with the Royal Air Force in the conduct of the Second Great War.

Rirvinond Collisiiau" was born at Nanazciio, B. C, in i893. in an atmosphere of ships. hunting and fishing that gave lnm a nose for adventure. Up and down the Pacific coast he sailed as a youthful pilot. and second officer; then came the opportunity to go with Scott to the Antarctic as navigating officer. Upon his rcitun lie resumed Paci- fic Coast shipping duties but. with the start of the war lie sought naval service in ngland. Just. before enlisting, however, aviation caught his imagination and by i916 he was a qualified pilot m the Royal Naval Air Service.

His Flt-st Plane

His first plane was brought down, October 12, while with the 3rd Wing R..N.A S. omrnting in France and just two weeks later he won Lhe Croix de Guerrc for meeting six German scouts and destroying two of them before the remainder dis- persed. .

Collishawts toll mounted gradually but in May of tire following year he was given command of a flight of tlic 10th Squadron RN.A.S. and promptly destroyed 29 planes between May 30 to July 27 —s rec- ord still unparalleled.

On June 6, 1917, the day before the Allied attack from the Ypres salient, Collishau’ fought from in one flight [before seven in the morning he led ilIlS whole squadron into a pitched Vbattle with a Ger-man squadron of

Albatross scouts. Eighty planes Jought out this duel that ended in a. broken German retreat. Colli- shaw himself engaged the German fleadcr at the outset and sent him

down in flames. Two others he cle-

stroyed before the fight was over, i This andlother actions of that time ‘gained lnm the Distinguished Ser- vice Cross. Ariothci" rcd letter daj followed shortly after. On June 15 he . brought down four hostile craft, an lactlon chiefly responsible for the |award to lilm of the Distinguished ,Servfce Order.
