Weymann is only S3, years old. He was born In the Isle ef Haiti of American parentage. The recant events ln Tripoli, in addition 10 the far more decisive lessons of the STench army maneuvers, have given a striking practical demonstrstlon of tha value of the aeroplane In time of war. The aeroplane and to a lesser extent the dirigible, have profoundly affected modern methods of warfare, and the science of strategy. particular.

Tn this respect the latest creation of Olenn Curtiss, the hydro-aeroplane. Is destined to play an Important part. The value of a machine capable of alighting on the "water will be Incalculable In naval- warfare, and future developments along thla line promises to place the United States In the forefront of this branch of the aviation science.
