"The Bermuda , Islands suggest the adventure** of Roh- .

With this statement the National Geographic society prefaces a bulletin on the Bermudas, a principal group of th? British Wert Indies, which some RngllKhmen suggest should be ceded to the United States in part paymeut of the American waf loans to Greut Brit ain. "The Robinson Crusoe comparison obtrudes because the islands were dis covered and later settled as the direct result of shipwrecks, and the settlers , had to build themselves a bark to set/ sail again," the bulletin continues. "Ah for the anticipation of Ameri can history, on a miniature scale, It rony be noted fhnr tbe colonization took place seven years before the 1*11 grlins landed at Plymouth, .Mass, ; that wltehes were burned, Quakers were pe rsecuted and miscreants were ducked before similar occurrences are ' recorded In New England, and that slavery was abolished in 18H4.

"But the essential pbTnF of contact of the American with the Bermudlan arises from the all-but-forgotten fact that while the Immortal I.itfrtyette gal lantly helped the colonies conclude their war of Independence,' ? the Ber mudlaus supplied the ammunition to ; begin It. "So acute was I he. need for powder j In 1775 that George Washington wrote ; to the govern w of It bode Island that : 'no quantity of powder, however small, i Is beneath notice.' Learning that there was a store In Bermuda, and that the Islanders were anxious to have the em- I bar go lifted upon shipment of food supplies from ' the colonies, Washing- ! ton addressed a letter to the people of j the island, who bad shown themselves ? sympathetic with the American Revo- ; lutlon, promising them ample supply of provisions and 'every other tnijrk of ' affection and friendship which the j grateful citizens of a free country can j bestow upon Its brethren and benefac- , tors if they would make this aininnnl- j tlon available for the Continental . army.

"Not only the sn I ?? of powder but j the fact that Bermuda allowed the col- j onles to have salt, so incensed the gov- 1 ernor of Bermuda that he upbraided I the citizens for treason, and feeling ] ran: so high that he was removed.
