WRICH1'S' DEATH
M0uRNEDABR0A0
LONDON PAPERs GALL ACHIEVE.
MENT AMONG BRIGHTEST
IN HISTORY

London, May 31.-The death of Will
bur Wright is mourned universally as
the passing of a great man, who was
recognized as pioneer in the science
OF aviation. The newspapers review
the romantic story :of the Wright
brothers achievement as among the
most wonderful in the world S history.
It Is pointed out that Wilbur Wright
is the first prominent air man TO die
natural death. Comment Is made on
the fact that it has been given, to few
inventors to see such surprising ad-
vances within their own lifetime.
All the London papers !. print long
obituaries, portraits, pictures OF the
early Wright machines, and tributes
from the leading ayiators, and dwell
upon the fact that the world has suf-
fered irreparable loss through his
death, as he might still have made
many important discoveries.
Has Made History. /,
The Standard says Wilbur Wright
has helped to make history and has
written his name deep upon It's
records"
The Daily Mail says with his
brother he stands fOrtn as tne Irue
conuueror Of the air, the father of fly
ing. His epitaph could not better be
expressed than In the ever famous
words: Isl Monumentum Requirus,
Circumspice. Of you seek his monu-
ment, look about you"
The Daily Telegraph regards him as
the creator Of the aeroplane, as one
of the remarkable personalities OF his
time and among the worlds geniuses,
The Times says: by Wilbur
Wright's premature death the world
is deprived Of a remarkable and
original personality. 1t has been said
of Farraday without mathematical
training he thought mathematically
and the same must have been true OF
Wilbur Wright. 1t is perhaps too early
to make complete estimate OF his
services to science. but it cannot be
doubted that his achievements are i'm
mortal
viii Erect Monument.
Claude Graham-White the English
aviator, announced his intention to or
ganize the greatest flying meeting yet
held, at Hendon. He will invite 200 air
men to take part in the competitions
for the purpose Of raising fund to
erect memorial to Wilbur Wright.
He says Wilbur Wright might almost
be described as "the Edison Of the
air"
