vile Wright. in three phenomenal
flights at Fort Myer. established new
aeroplane records that not only as
sure the success of the official trials
before the army board, but indicate
that aerial flight is now only a mat
ter of development. War on land
and sea will find in the aeroplane
valuable means of reconnaissance
and possibly carnage.
Two flights of approximately one
hour each, another flight in which
two men were whirled through the
air for upwards of six minutes, were
the achievements of the Wright
brothers aeroplane Wednesday. That
these flights, record-breaking as they
were will even be surpassed by Or
Vile Wright during his trials at
Fort Myer, is confidently predicted.
First fight made Wednesday morn
ing, in which the machine circled the
drill grounds at the fort ST times in
81 minutes and 81 seconds, was sur
passed in the evening when flight
of sixty-two minutes and fifteen Sec
onds was made.
Not satisfied with breaking all
distance and time records for heav-
ier-than-air' flying machine Mr..
Wright took Lieutenant Frank P.
Lahm, the aeronaut of the Signal
Corps, for a spin around the sdrill
grounds and making new record
for two-man flight. All this hap
pened so quickly and unostentatious-
ly that the spectators, among whom
were members of the cabinet and
high officers of the army aud navy,
could hardly realize that history had
been made and that new era in
the progress of the civilized world
was begun.
The morning flight was witnessed
by only handful of enthusiasts, but
the news spread so rapidly that fully
thousand people gathered on the
military reservation across the Poto-
mac from the national capital to see
the afternoon event.
At SIG, as the sun was disappear
ing below the Virginia horizon, the
latest invention of man to challenge
the laws of nature rose grandly into
space and sailed over the green sward
of the drill grounds. Higher and
higher it rose, turned at slight
angle as the aviator brought it

raced along at increasing speed.
There was hardly a CULVER of tho
aeroplane in the first few rounds OF
the field, Mr.. Wright evidently hav-
ing the steering apparatus well in
hand.
I Rising and lowering at will, the
sight of the man-built bird was most
impressive. Round after round the
machine travelled on cutting short
turns, shooting along the stretches
and presenting somewhat the appear
ance of an automobile racing about
an imaginary course in the air.
The aviator paid little heed 20
anything but his levers for warp
ing the surface OF the planes
and controlling the planes which
control the altitude of the craft.
He seemed oblivious of the crowd
below until. having broken the
record of 81 minutes and 81 seconds
established by him this morning,
the crowd raised cheer that told
him of his new achievement. Then
Mr. Wright waved his acknowledge

DEATH INVADES THE

Hearst News Special to the Graphic.
 Paris, Dec. 5.-Death has thinnad out the ranks of the "Immortals" so severely of late that there are now no less than six empty seats ill the French Academy.
 The armchairs of Nj. M Gebhart, Halevy, Cappee, Boissier and Sardon have to be filled. It is expected that the chair occupied by M. Gebhart for which there are several candidates will be filled by M. Raymond Pain care. NJ. Eugene Brieux, Alfred Ca pus and Georges dc Porto Riche are candidates for the seat of Ludovic Helevy, the dramatist. Up to now the first mentioned is the favorite for the honor. For the chair filled by M. Gaston Boissier there are also sey- eral candidates. of which the fayorite seems to be M Dominic, a scholar
 Among the candidates for Francais Cappee's chair is M. Edmond Haran- court, a novelist. who has already made several attempts to win mmor- tality. Ii may be that he will suffer another disappointment for there is talk of poet, being elected

afternoon. The Star-Spargled
Banner was read as was also the
White Ribbon Star Spangled Ban

that when the young veople gav1
their salute to "Old Glory that
they mean to help sweep from
it's folds the cloud which now
hangs DER its blue.
AS we waved eur white ribbon
star splangled banner the truth
Of its meaning was carried home
to each heart with a newed Ell
fort to more earnestly,
Flying it out to The reeze, let It tell 70
the world
That the faith which has raised It
shall never surrender.
Let it tell that the love which our ban
ner unfurled,
Is the guard Of the nome and the ma
TONS defende,
Let it CLEAN, as a star to the ship
wrecked afar,
Like a beacon that warns Of the
treacht rous bar.
Let the banner of Freeoom and Purity
Like signal of hope midst the per-
lis we brave.
Let it fly at the front; it is washed in
our tears,
And the smoke of the battle increases
its wilderness;
Though our hearts may be pierced by
the enemy's spears,
Yet the flow from our wounds shall
but add to its brightness
And this ensign of light, it shall float
Ger the fight
Till our wrongs are avenged by the
triumph of right.
And in radian victory at last it shall
wave
Ger the ramrras we've seormedf
