WAR OFFICIALS BELIEVE PROB
LEM SOLVED.

Washington, Sept. 9.-Orville Wright in
three phenomenal flights at Fort Myer
today established new aeroplane records
that not only assure the success of the Of
fetal trials before the army board, but
indicate that aerial flight is now only a
matter of development. War on land and
sea will find in the aeroplane. it is now
conceded by military men, a valuable
means of reconnaissance and possibly car
mage.
Two flights of approximately one hour
each ana another flight in which two men
were whirled through the air for more
than six minutes were the achievements
of the Wright brothers aeroplane today.
That these flights, record breaking as
they are, Will be surpassed by Orville
Wright during his trials at Fort MyeI
