their improvements, the general impres- sion will be left by the article referred to that the Wrights were entitled to all credit for the now practical airplane
 Having an extended knowledge or the art of aviation, in that of heavier than air machines in particular, l feel that am able to show that their improve ments are merely additions to proai principals invented by others.
 The records in many aernouatlcal books and the United States patent of- flee show that the Wright inventions were only improvements on basic meth ods invented by others. To Professor Langley and Henson belong methods ol construction, without the use of Which the Wrights' improvements would be use less, and the tart of aviation" at standstlll.
 Phillips patent of 1881, known as Phillips entry, covers the shapes of the curves, so important in the planes, and while Henson invented curved plane in 1885, he did not take out patent until 1S4S. Quoting Henson's specified tions: If any light or nearly flat ar ticle be projected or thrown edgewise. in slightly inclined position, the same will rise in the air till the force exerted is expended, when the article so thrown or projected will descend. And it will be readily conceived that if the article so prof scted or thrown possessed in itself a continuous power or force equal to that used in throwing or projecting it, the ;.,lx fyltta ff,,a Sn as the forward part of the surface was upward in respect to the hinder part.
 Such an article when the power was stopped or when the inclination was re- versed would descend by gravity, only if the power was stopped. or by gravity aided by the force of the power contained in the article, if the power be continued, thus initiating the flight of a bird. It will be seen that Tendon covered the method of flight now in general use in his patent. While he used curved planes of uniform thickness, it was Phillips who invented and worked out the math- ematical curves now in general use, making the front edges thicker than the balance of the plane. He patented in 1891 what is known as Phillips aerofoil curves" 1 will not go into details as to saine for it would take too much space in your paper
 The several types of planes now in gen. eral use are too well known for me to explain them here. The biplane and tri- plane, derived their form from the box type of gliders introduced by Chanute and others before the power planes were made practical. They were of the rigid type and they were not stabilized or controlled, and credit must be given the Wrights and Curtis and others for the use of ailerons or fins, which are sup porting surfaces fitted at the extremities of the main planes. The object of these "ailerons" is to increase the air pres sure under either of the wings, to in- crease the lift. These ailerons when in- clined at an angle to the direction of motion of the machine put pressure

GERMAN ATTACK
 ON BRITISH FRONT
 NOT SUCCESSF UL
Infantry, Aided by Tanks, Make Raid on Enemy Near Bucquoy-The Belgians
 Are Active

With the British Army in France, June 23.--An enemy nttempt to capture some British positions the high met yvith-a complete reverse. The nt- tack was a local one and was pre- ceded by heavy bOmbardment that began about 6 o'clock and was main- tained with great intensity for con- siderable time.
 At the conclusion of the artillery prepa- ration the German infantry along a narrow sector surged forward for the assault, but as they pushed up the in- cline which led from their own trenches to the more elevated British defenses they encountered such tor nado of machine gun and rifle fire that, after struggling ahead little, they were forced to retire.
 During the night the British con ducted raid near Bucquoy with tanks. which never before had been used for raiding purposes. The big engines went over the top shortly before mid- night. followed by infantry.
 The riflemen met with strong opposi-
 
 chine gun fire but the tanks proceeded on their business and for two hours trundled about the enemy territory. leaving the mark of their guns wher- ever they went. What casualties were inflicted on the enemy are not certain, but the tanks did good execution and prisoners were brought back. Two ssuecessfulg raids also were made into German positions near Morian- court during the night although this is not uncommon, for the Australians who are in this sector are always bait ing the Boche.
 On the Belgian sector, King Alberts troops carried out raid northwest of St. Julian that resulted in hot fight at a strong concrete blockhouse. The Belgians stormed this position and cleared it out, capturing eight Ger mans who appeared to be all the men left alive in the fort.
 The usual harassing fire was con- tinued by the enemy in Flanders yes- terday.

 With some 9o0,000 men now in France, the small number of deaths from disease reported is considered rather remarkable and shows tho American soldiers are in fine physical condition.

SURGEONS MAKE new
FACES FOR WAR VICTIMS
Dntisty Absolutely Essential to New
Glass of Work.

Chicago-If there is any one branch
of war surgery which stands out
above it's fellows, it is facial restor-
alton. This is the message brought
back from the reconstruction hospi-
tails in France by DR.. Truman w. Bro
ply of 6007 Kenmore avenue, who
spent three months in the Chapel hos
pital, where only facial and head
wounds are cared for.
1t is at this hospital that men are
given new jaws, new noses, new eye2
and parts of faces to convert them
! from horrors into men acceptable in
the best of society. 1t is a gigantic
work and a work of the highest kline
! of skill and the most careful surgery
| Only comparatively few surgeons are
proficient enough to do the work. Sur
geons from all over the world are go
ing to this hospital to learn the new
art. They are to be the mouthpieces
of the pioneers of facial restoration
DR.. Brophy is one of these men. He
has completed his course and is now
preparing to have all the leading col
lege professors of surgery brought to-
gether to learn this new advance of
science. This meeting and clinic
promises to be a landmark in the
surgical history of the country.
At the time the United States en-
tered the war, Or. Brophy tried to en-
list but his age prevented. The sur
geon general Of the army gave him
credentials to the leading surgeons in
Europe and with these he was able to
obtain place in the field.
"In this hospital" said DR.. Brophy.
there are 500 patients constantly
They come and go and we can never
accommodate all of them. The work
is marvellous.
Men come in with jaws complete
ly shot away so it is possible to see
their spinal column. In ten months or
year they leave new men, perfect to
the eye, but put together with an as
sortment of the most ingenius con-
trivances ever invented. Over SIS per
cent of all the men admitted with
these horrible wounds ONE out alive.
The death rate is exceedingly low.
"In my judgment, the most needed
work for a year after the war will be
these artificial appliances necessary
in facial restoration. Dental surgery
and skilled dentists have never been
more valuable Surgery is entirely
dependent upon the dentists. With
out them nothing ould be accomplish
ed.
Dental surgery will eventually be
introduced into all medical colleges in
the country and made a part of the
medical course 1t is one of the adj
vances in medicine brought about by
the war. There are hundreds of 9TH
ers."

FABULOUS PRICE
PAID FOR LIQUOR
To BOOTLEGGERS
$50 a Gallon Given Up BY Thirsty
Souls in "Sunny Tennessee.

Kentucky Bourbon whiskey--$5O a
gallon.
This is the price being paid by Ten
nessee "soakes" to nervy bootleggers
who dare run the risk of carrying on
their illicit traffic, according to Assist
ant District Attorney S. Merrill Rus
sell.
The fact that even the Kentucky
consumer, who lives in the home of
straight Bourbon whiskey, will be
forced to pay a fabulous price for a
drink of his favorite brand after June
/ next, was revealed yesterday by Mr..
Russell.
Bootlegging, or Illicit traffic in
whiskey in the dry counties of Ken
lucky, according to Department Of
Justice records, is appreciably on the
wane. On the other hand, important
arrests have been made. here by
watchful United States marshals of
people who took a chance because of
the high price which is commanded by
whiskey in all of the Southern States
The latest arrest of an alleged boot
logger, who is charged with attempt
ing to supply the demand in at least
a part of Tennessee, was made yester-
day by United States marshals at
Louisville, who took into custody Dan
Cannon, a former resident of Louis
vile, who is charged with shipping
LIQUOR into dry territory. 1t is alleged
chat the offense consisted of making a
eminent Of whiskev to Nashville, on
November 10. Cannon waived his ex-
Awning trial when arraigned before
United States Commissioner Craft,
and was held to the Federal grand
jury under bond of $500.
While the incentive of $50 gallon
for whiskey which costs the bootleg
ger on the average of 81 a gallon has
induced many to undertake the Illicit
traffic in Southern States, particular
ly Tennessee, Mr.. Russell asserts that
there has been appreciable decline in
the "moonshine" traffic in Kentucky.
There was a pretty general belief that
the recently enacted prohibition laws
would result in a largely increased
illicit traffic in the counties of Ken
lucky which have become dry terri
tory. But such has not been the case
according to Mr.. Russell, who says
that the situation is kept we'll in hand
by Federal officers.
However, it is assured that the Ken
lucky consumers, even in the cities
and towns which have not become dry
will be forced to pay more for his
"night-cap" and "eye-opener" after
June 1 next, according to Mr. Russell
1t is estimated that during October
100000 900 gallons of whiskey in bond
in the warehouses of the country were
withdrawn. The stock on hand at the
beginning of October was estimated
at 100000 gallons, which would
leave on the first of November ap-
proximately 100000 gallons of
whiskey in bond. Figured on the pres
ent rate of consumption the supply
will last only about four months, and
with an almost total exhaustion of the
supply in the hands of dealers and in
the Government warehouses by this
time, the price will go skyrocketing to
around IS quart or 500 gallon, in
view of the local Federal authorities.
