VALOR IN GREAT WAR aviators who are aces, yet whose names have never appeared outside the official Becrot communiques cir culated among the higher staff of ficers only. Here Is a concrete example. A certain lieutenant of the Royal Fly ing corps was mentioned tn one of those communiques. It seems he had engaged an enemy aeroplane, fought a duel with it among the clouds, and downed it fairly and squarely. Hoping to make an ex ception of this case, permission was sought to jise the aviator's name. It was courteously, but firmly, re fused. What he had done was not to hla own personal glory, but to the glory ot the R. F. C. And when the Royal Flying corps Is asked about it, it Insists the honor Is the army's. So it goes. The Canadians pool their glory with the South Africans and the Anzacs and the Irish and the Scotch and all tho rest, and alto gether they heap It Into the lap ot Brltatnla, It Is trite to say it is a war ot anonymous heroes, but that Is JuBt what It Is, and tho British are so very, very anonymous about It that they run the risk of having the world say they cant be doing very much. Nor do they care, apparently. Tholr idea is that a hero who is a horo because ho has an audience Is not a real horo. The roal thing does a brave Act because he can't help doing It, and when It Is done his own satisfaction ovor having done his bit as best he could, without shirk ing, Is the best reward ho can have.
