At First Youth's Monoplan* Racaivad Littl* Indorsannant In Garmany—Eng¬ land Also Rajoctod Invantioiti—Has Playad Promlnant Part In War and Craatad Havoc In Britain and Franca.
Berlin.—Mijnbeer Fokker, the Inveii tor of the monoplane wblch has cre- nte<l havo<' nnd consternation in <ireat Britain and Friince, is a native of Hol¬ land and Is said to he not more than twenty-three or twenty-four years <ikl. lie liiis 8i>ent the Kreuier part of his life in CerniJUiy, Imt woulil ii;ii'i'iir t" lie thoroughly famillur with the I'rcii ! tiyiiifr niSKlilnes.

declared to be German copies of the French Oiiome, though claimed to be the Merce<les engine of 200 horsepower.'
The bullet jiroof devintors attachetl to the blades of the Fokker, rendering the ranchhie almost Immune from the lire of the enemy, are said by the French to be the invention of one of their fliers, Garros, who was captured by the Germans in Flanders only a few months ago.
Fokker, ajipareutly the guldlug gen ius in (icrmau monoplane activity, bad this bullet proof device on his ma¬ chines which first attracted the atten¬ tion of bis adversaries last December. During that month he and his assist¬ ants brought down sixteen British aero¬ planes witbout damage to tbeir own machines. The French loss is believed to bave been fully as large, altbouKh statistics lu this as in all French casu¬ alties have been withheld from the public.
The clilef value of the Fokker Is Its speed, this being over a hundred miles au hour and exceeding by twenty-flve or thirty miles an hour anything which the British or the French monoplanes cau accomplish, and Fokker himself seems to iKLre-spousihie for this unique feature of bli§~^machine. The gun is stationary. The flier has only to steer the monoplane.
In action the Fokker rises swiftly to a great height, 1,500 feet or more and aliove the nir craft of the British and French, and there it awaits the appear¬ ance below of the enemy. Then It stands on its head and dives, sending down a stream of bullets which forms a cone, at the apex of which is its own gun. The cylinder covers every inch of the victim's Immediate area of escape. Two men operate the steering gear, and a i>assenger Is apt to be found In front working a machine gun in those cases when the Fokker is able to take range directly behind its enemy, aim¬ ing then along a straight line wblcb covers the enemy's pilot, engine and tanks, destroying or injuring every- thlug lu one fusillade.
About flve years ago Fokker made, his appearance iu tbe German flying corps, and bis first monoplane was re¬ ceived with such small enthusiasm there tbat tbe Invention was offered to tbe British government. Some English experts examhied it recommended it OS belug uncapsizable, but so badly constructed that It made tbe flier's life anything but secure. They therefore declined to recommend its pui'chase by Britain.
Nothing more was beard of Fokker except lu a general way ontll bis for¬ midable new monoplanes entered the field last December.
Of the long list of plajrs a.daptsd for the screen, the one best suited to the camera's requirements, the one whose varying situations lend themselves to tbe lights and shades of exceptional photographic art. is "The Cave Man. produced by the Vitagraph Company under the direction of Theodore Marston, featuring Robert Edeson In the character af HauUck Smagg, to be shown at The Plaza on Wednesday,
March 1.
"The Cave Man" was written by Gelett Burgess and originally produc¬ ed in Providence, R. I., as a legiti¬ mate comedy-drama with Mr. Edeson In the portrayal of the leading char¬ acter. His familiarity with the lead¬ ing character's possrollltles became apparent when he began work on the I story for the screen, and when the limitations of the stage left wide di¬ vergencies In the continuity of the story, the camera caught the various scenes In that sequence deftly fltted- in situations impossible to the stage, that rounds out a story leaving no es¬ sential point to the imagination.
