BRITAIN ROUNDS
Up FIRST HEROES
OF v. c. AWARDS
Competition Is Keen for War
Honor,

LOkDON-London papers are
conducting a spirited investigation to
discover who won the first Victoria
Cross in the war, and who was the
first Briton to be wounded in defense
OF civilization,
During an inyes,iture OF war hon.
ors by the king of Buckingham few
days ago an officer of the Royal
Fusileers raised this interesting ques-
ton. 10 advanced the claims Of Pri-
yate Sydney F. Cooley, Royal Fu-
sileers a, the first winner OF the COW
eted decoration. But 6. A. Leask who
has written a book "V. {. Heroes OF
the War" comes forward with the as
sertion that Cooley might waive his
claim to being the first V. c. man OF
the war 10 Lieut.. M. Dease, OF the
same regiment, who afterwards died
of wounds received during the retreat
from Mons. Says Leask.
First Five v. C. Heroea
"ln point OF time the first five V. {,
heroes OF the war we're: Lieut. NJ. J.
Dease (Royal Fuslleers,) Corporal l..
+. Gariorth OSth Hussats) Private
5, +, Cooley (Royal Fusilcers) Lance
Corporal {. A. Jarvis (Royal Engn-
eers,) and Capt Theodore Wright
(Royal Engineers)
These five earned their crosses on
the first day OF actual fighting, name
ly, August q, 1914 t is curious that
two--Garforth and Gsdleys were pris-
oners in Germany until last year.
What has to be decided in deter
mining who vas actually the first
V. G. OF the war is which deed ac
tually ranked highest on the memoir
able day. Garfor,h won his a, Har-
mignes and Jarvis his at Jamappes 4:
the other three won their at Mons
Therefore, as the fighting at Mons
came first Garforth and Jarvis may
be ruled out There remains Dease
Cooley and Wright
Wright Wins Cross.

1T was only to tell us that General

The Smuts appointment, is one which

WILL GIVE PLANS
TOHONE BUILDERS

Practical architectural plans for
dwellings, prepared and used by the
United States Housing Corporation
fer various Government housing pro-
jects during the war, are to be made
available for general public use by
the Department Of Labor.
Several types Of houses have been
selected as most artistic as well as
most practicable, and the plans for
these win be given to wn-your-own-
home committees, which are now car
rying on campaigns in forty cities, so
that estimates may be made on them.
1t is explained that the purpose 10
not to interfere in any way with the
work Of local architects, by thus pro-
viding Government plans, but 1t is
expected that when the estimates in
widely separated States are compiled
the information will be Of value to
prospective home owners, while IL
will afford comparisons of the vary
ing cost of construction in many parts
Of the United States.
Since the own-your-oWn-hom cam
paign was started a few weeks ago
the Department of Labor has re-
ceived assurances of cooperation from
chambers Of comerce, civic associa-
tions, wOmen's clubs, and organfza-
tions of many sorts. Requests that
local campaigns be begun without
delay have been sent this week to 400
cities.
While the campaign was started
primarily to furnish buffer employ
ment to the men of the demobilizing
army. the number Of letters received
by the department frem soldiers who
ask advice. about how to proceed in
obtaining homes OF their own proves
that the campaign has for the boys
in khaki more than a temporary in
terest, and contradicts the idea that
service breeds a distaste for
settling down in a permanent abiding
place. The own-your-home campaign,
so far, has seemed to show that war,
instead OF inspiring wanderlust, has
made the Americans who served in 1t
more anxious than ever before to live
them.
