From Wilbur Wrights first aeropiane flight

81 j. Armstrong Drexel In mounting at Point
Breeze on Wednesday to altitude of $3.50
feet Is amazing progress in aviation. Americans
have made and retained the sensational records

was outdonc the winner was beaten and new

For few months the daring French avators,
Latham and PauIhan. seemed to be without
rivals in high flying This art involves perfect
control over the heavier than-ar machine In the
rarl1ed upper air In July of the present year,
however Walter Brookins regained the cham
picnship for America by soaring to height OF
o,233 feet at Atlantic City. This record was
beaten by Mr.. Drexel. another American. in
Scotland. in August, only to have his record of
800 feet far exceeded successfully by a French
man, a Peruvian and a Dutchman.
Then the Inflated Ralph tombstone brought

that always certain to command the
thusias'ic applause Of the whole of his admiring
fellow countrymen.
Yet when all Is said. the significance of Mr.
Drexels achievement is little more than that of
a sporting proposition" when compared with
Wilbur Wrights fight Of 80 feet. That ascent
marked epoch from which dates the
quest of the air. To say is not to detract iii
the slightest degree from the heroism and skill
of the daring and fearless aviators who have
made the records for altitude in the past two
years. or these Mr.. Drexel is the greatest
But the aeropane became perfect dying ma
chine from the moment when the young man
from Dayton. O., assembled from the field at La
Mans, his aeroplane rising automatically with
its own power.
Prior to that date flying machines glided after
being launched from height. Aeroplanes are
now lighter in make than they two years
paSo. Steering gear ard other appliances are i'm
proved. Internal combustion engines much
reduced in weight without any corresponding
loss Of power. The result Is the making of
astonishing records for speed. distance and

powerful and insidious
Mr.. Tat declares that four Ave years will

way More than that time will be required to
make it reasonably safe against attack The
PRONUNCIATION of such a treaty that proposed
would take at least FIVE years. even II negotia-
tons to that end should be finally successful. In
the meantime the canal would have been COM

would have had its position of impregnab'e iso-
aton changed TO one of perilous opena.ss to
attack. Even IL understanding were to be
reached, 1t would hold in the event of war only
