H H H H THE DUKE OF SUTHERLAND AND THE PILGRIMS SPEAKING at a luncheon given by the Pilgrims to the American Commission'for the Adjustment of Foreign Claims, the Duke of Sutherland, Under-Secretary of State for Air, in proposing the toast of the American guests, after paying a general tribute to what America did in 1917 to help the allied powers to victory in the greatest war that has ever ravaged the earth, referred more directly to their co-operation in the air. " Had the result been a victorious Germany, the Uuise said, " she would have shown us scant mercy. It was possible that under Democratic rule she had changed her heart with her coat, and might one day prove herself fitted to enter the Brotherhood of Nations. " Be that as it may," the Duke continued, " that change of heart might never have come about had not America entered the field against her. It was in the air as well as on sea and land that America exerted her great sinews to help us. But in order to do this to the fullest advantage it was necessary, in matters so technical as aerial warfare, that she should receive the full value of our experience and knowledge in regard to both aeroplanes and engines, and it was to this <•> <S> War Honours ,. .. TOa„ In the London Gazette of December 19th it was announced that the King has approved of the following rewards for distinguished service in Kurdistan . Bar to Distinguished Flying Cross. Flight-Lieut. W. H. Park, M.C., D.F.C. Flight-Lieut. F. O. Soden, D.F.C. Distinguished Flying Cross. Flying-Officer S. T. B. Cripps. Flying-Officer G. D. Daly. end that our Government arranged that all our information should be at her disposal. " On the entry of America into the War—April, 1917— the first thing she did was to send to this country officers of her Air Force to consult with our Air Board regarding the co-ordination of the aerial policies of the two Governments. At the head of this came Major Boiling. Let us recall the name of this man who did such good work at the time and carried through this agreement, and who afterwards made the supreme sacrifice for the allied cause, and now fills a hero's grave in common with many others of your countrymen. " Today we welcome Colonel McMullen and the Hon. Harry Knight amongst us, and we charge them to carry to the relatives of Major Boiling the fact that today his name has been recalled in all honour amongst us. We know they will discharge their duties in the spirit of justice and equity that has always ruled the Anglo-Saxon race. " I venture also to express the hope that the various claimants will co-operate and will welcome as they should the opportunity afforded them by the presence of the American Commission of having their claims settled here in London." <•> <J> Junkers to Visit England HERR JUNKERS, the famous German aeronautical en gineer, whose daring designs and conceptions of all-metal aircraft are well known to readers, will give a lecture to the Royal Aeronautical Society (at the hall of the Royal Society of Arts) on Jan. 4. The subject will be " Metal Aeroplanes," Herr Junkers having specialised in this department, and having carried out exhaustive experiments which make him one of the greatest authorities on steel aeroplane construction in the world, His paper should be of great interest. 777 M
