A Dutchman who lias Jul returned from UU.fla-ninppele given a thrilling StarJ et an cxcltlmt threeeornorcl duct In mld-nlr fought n. few days n?o by the occupants of three airships German, KnCllsh and Trench. The story was re lnted to him by the German officer, who narrowly escaped death after an experi ence which he does not desire repeated. "Sonic day ago." this officer said, "1 nas Instructed to do some Important re connoltrrlnr I" the northern district of Trance, especially near Lille and Mau beuse. 1 left BelRiutn In my Taube bi plane with a mechanic. "While 1 was flytnpr Into Trance I sud- denly heard the noise of nn aeroplane, which I scon recognized as a British military ISrtstol biplane, which had come to fleht us. Our first tactics were to prevent the Urlstol climbing higher than us, but the British machine was cleverly handled, and soon was ISO yards over us "Several attempts were made by us to fly hlorher, but the British aeroplane checked them all. It was evident that each of us feared that the other would drou bombs on him. Meanwhile we hud nrudcnllv turned northward, hoping to rpiich the German cump before the Ejir llshm.in damaged us or forced us to land The Bristol was coming closer and closer, and we felt like a bird on which a -ul-ture was (wing to pounce. "I said to my mechanic: T think our latt hour bus come.' He answered with u laugh 'Rather our last half-hour.' I am sure that If the Kncllshman had any bombs aboard I would not be hero to tell the tale, hut fortunatclv he had none. He could not havo missed us, as owlns to hi clever steering, he was about 80 yards over us." In this tiMiiR situation the Gorman of flcer, though ppoctlnR to b shot or dashed to earth at any moment, did not lose his rerve. He handled his craft with cleNcnei and care, following every movement of his adversary hv a counter movement of his ship. "These, I can tell you. wen- terrible moments," he said. "We tired our automatic revolvers at the cnenn .ml he responded vigor ously. Our machine was hit several times, but not In it..l parts. The wings show many revolver bullet holes. "We were nearing the Belgian boun dary when I saw a small Bleriot mono plane come to the aid of the Bristol. The Krcnch aircraft reached 1C0O feet in no tlmo, and then began flying In con centric circles uround us, always draw ing nearer, and the three machines en gaged in an unprecedented duel, firing revolvers continually. "Our ammunition was nearly exhausted when we lieaid energetic firing beneath We had reached a German camp, where our terrible !tuatlon was speedily realized, and our soldiers were firing on the two enemy living machines In order to cover our retreat and descent.

According to German military authori ties, tho wur is costing Germany $5,000,000' a day, Inclusive of tho money spent In behalf of families made dependent by the absence of father and husbands at the front.
