batted timely. DeWalt, Blazer and
Montgomery paved the way for the

BRITISH TO MATCH
our WORLD FLIGHT
Veteran AviatoTs viii Take o.
poSite Course and Paths May
Cross in MidoCean.

London.-English aviatOrs will try
to match exploits with the American
airmen, when the latter start their
round-the-world fight from Seattle
next April, by a flight in the opposite
direction.
Equipped with a powerful Vimy am
phibian plane of $50 horse power,
Squadron Leader A. S. MacLaren, =
distinguished English pilot of long war
and postwar experience, will attempt
to circumnayigate the globe soon after
the American teams start. He will be
accompanied by Flying officer w. n.
Pienberleith and Engineer Sergeant
Andrews, two other veterans of the
air.
AS far as possible, the airmen will
follow the route taken by the late Sir
Ross Smith. The flight is backed by
the British Air Ministry, which has
given the leaders special course VI
training. The route will be by way Of
Egypt, Mesopotamia, Persia, India,
Burma, China, Japan, the Aleutian
Islands, Canada New York, st. Johns,
n F., and thence to Greenland and Ice
land, returning to London.
1t is possible the Britishers and
Americans will cross one another's
path in midocean, and that the flight
will create an animated friendly rival
~ between America and England for
supremacy in international flying.
Apart from the credit of the first en-
circlement Of the globe, the enterprise
will form an interesting test of endur-
ance for the machines and engines.
The British air authorities recog-
nize that the winning of such a tri.
umph, apart from its sentimental
value, has a material side. They say
the American Government also real
ICES this, since the American victory
in the great Schneider seaplane con-
test here resulted in a tremendous ad-
vertisement for the American aero
engine, and by the pacing of orders
for these engines by foreign Govern
ments.

ments totaled Sligo, 64S,O0O, an in
crease Of 175 per cent over 1912.
The counties OF the country had a
total indebtedness of S1,366 $4,000,
