when he flew nineteen minutes with his
hands Off the lever controlling the e,eva-

many new devices to increase the safety

The Wright elevator is a part Of the

mechanism recently perfected by Mr..
Wright. The new elevator Is novel In
form and design and not only prevents tho
aviator from taking wrong position in
the air but automatically stabllizes the
aeroplane without Intervention Of either
manual or mechanical device.
The flying season opened in DAYTON

since December 81. when Mr.. Wright won
the Robert J. Collier trophy. Several
testing flights were made yesterday and

HAMBURG, April 1S.-Ludwig Fulda.
Germany's noted writer. speaking at the
banquet OF the American Association Of
Commerce and Trade at the Atlantic Ho-
tel tonight. paid a glowing tribute to the
wealthy men OF America for the work
they are doing to encourage science and

He declared that the idealsm OF the

utter ignorance Of the high intellectually
and idealism OF the American people.
Dr. Fulda. who recently returned from

idealism or had done so much for the
people and the country in the way IF

America had done.

DIR. Fulda declared that the German
conception OF the United States as only
the land OF dollar chasers was wholly err
roneous and unjust. American rich men.

their wealth than the German princes and
capitalists. Americans were setting an
example in ideals which the Germans
might well follow.
