 The Fokker was the swiftest pur- suit plane used by the German air fighters on the Western front
 Mir Fokker. who said, as a Hol- lander, he had taken no personal part in Germany's war operations over the Allied lines. predicted rapid advances in the art of flying in the near future.
 within the next five or ten years, 5 he said, people will be able to cross the Atlantic in less than a day and in much more comfort than in travel by steamer"
 The development of directonal wireless, he added would enable pilots to fly by night and in murky weather as well as on clear days
 The most needed improvement in aviation for the present, he said. was construction of flying machines capable of landing on and taking off from small areas, such as the roofs of buildings

MILITARY CHESS STARS DEFEATED
 BY BOY OF EIGHT
Youthful Polish Prodigy Is Winner in Simultaneous
 Games Against l8.

WEST POINT, N. Y, Nov. 18.-I most of them trained in the post graduate school of war-and one picked cadet, the chess star of the Academy, went down to defeat in as many games of chess here last week before the invincible onslaught of Samuel Rzeschewiski, eight and one half year-old Polish wonder of the chessboard. One of the boys twenty opponents played to draw at the end of 85 moves.
 The boy who added to the laurels he had won from the champions of Vienna, Berlin, Paris. Warsaw, Lon don and other European capitals, played all of his adversaries simul- taneously moving rapidly from one board to another and making his plays after lightning calculation. Throughout the play, Samuel. who IS rather an undersized child for his years and apparently differing in no respect other than his proficiency or 1 the chess board from others of his age, was unperturbed in the presence of his opponents, many of whom were bearded senior officers whose afterdinner games at the officers mess tables are noted throughout the service.
 Before a gallery which thronged the academy gymnasium, the child | sh prodigy, clad in a blue suit with lnlckerbockers and sailor collar. eff fected his first checkmate after r moves which occupied 35 minutes.
 Checkmate In 12 Moves
 His first victim was F. C. Mayer, organist of the school, who is count d as one of the most formidable players in the State.
 Mayer, like those who followed him to the downfall of their respective pet "systems" got caught in a trap skillfully laid for him by a succession of plays leading to an open forma- ton.
 Mayer played his knight into the center and was opposed by the boys queen causing the military man to castle to avoid checkmate at the outset and thus falling play behind his opponent and leading to the in evitable exposure of the useful piece. The checkmate followed in three moves.
 Col G. J. Fieberger, who held the lad to an eycn score, met him on nore even ground seeming to be more familiar with the boys method )f attack. Long after all the others had fallen out, long after the possi bility of winning was apparent, the 'wo matched wits with the stripling meeting the aged commanders well oondered moves with counters which came almost before his rivals piece was at rest
 Bedtime Ends Game
 When a deadlock was reached. the game was called off by the boys father and teacher, who announced that his sons bedtime was long passed, though the youngster, unaf rected by the hundreds of eyes upon him, still seemed absorbed in the game and seemed willing to prolong 1t to a break

Reports Completed.
While reports have not been com
