Lemans, France.-Tuasday evening
Wilbur Wright of Dayton, Ohio, made
the longest and most successful flight
OF the series of aeroplane trials which
ne is conducting here, remaining in
the air 3:44. The machine circled the
field three times at the rate of thirty
six miles an hour. On passing the
grand stand Wright gracefully de-
scended until within speaking dis
lance of the spectators. who wildly
applauded his exhibition of mastery
over the aeroplane, after which he
scared like bird to new heights and
continued his flight until reaching the
starting point. where he finally gently
landed
The aeroplane scared down the
course and then abruptly, almost
recklessly. swooped and turned and
came majestically down the field, fol
lowing the lines of trees, after which
1t returned to the front of the grand
stand. With admirable ease and pre-
cision, the aeroplane here descended
to lower level, seemingly to drop the
spectators polite aerial courtesy.
Then it rose again and resumed its
trip, ascending zigzags here and there
until it completed three circles of the
course Finally it came to the ground
at the starting point and Wright again
was received with applause There
was scarcely a vistage of breeze while
the flight was taking place.

patent rights have expired, so that in

served. But the sweeping destruction
of old models is not desirable. In
many instances they still have value
for study and research by inventors,
and mony of them possess a historic
interest which should warrant their
preservation. The economy Of space
is not so urgent in the scheme of gov

Misunderstanding in the house OF
lords, Field Marshal Lord Roberts ex-
pressed the conviction that the lack
hopeless the attempt of an invasion
would in all probability be the cause
of loss OF Great Britains supremacy
at sea.
In studied speech he pointed out
the comparative ease with which Ger
many could land an army on the
shores of England.
Under present conditions England
would be forced, he said, to submit to
most humiliating demands.
He disclaimed all hostility to or fear
of Germany; but he declared that the
defense of the Islands required imme-
diate attention. There should be an
army so strong in numbers and eff
cient in quality that the most formida-
BILE of foreign nations would hesitate
to make landing in England.
Lord Roberts said he had ascer-
tanned that vessels capable of accom-
modating 100000 men always were
available in the northern ports of Ger
many and that as result of the new
German service law 100000 men could
be collected in the districts of the
nearest port without trouble.

essential for her transports to evade
the British fleet and she could easily
distract attention by small raids when
disembarking, proceeding undisturbed.
