AVIATORS OF ALLIES
FOILED INVASION OF
1 FRANCE, SAYS FLYER
Veteran Airman Declares
Dirigibles Have Proved In
ferior as War Machines
Along Marne and Aisne.
VAIUS. Sept. SO.
Aeroplanes here proved tlielr superior
It)1 over dirigibles ns wnr machines,
According to French aviators, who say
that airmen nro the kings of modern
battles.
,, One French aviator, tcjtlnK In l'arls
for a few days, says successes of Allies
Ions the Alsne have been due to tho
efflclimoy of the nerlal corps. He be
lieves the aviators larpely will be
responsible for rlddlnK France of the
German foe.
"It Is thanks to the aviator." he said,
"that we have won our victories, and It
will bo thanks to him that In a few days
we will be able to hunt the Germans out
of France. In my opinion, sufficient has
not been said of the Impoitnnt part
aviation has played In thli wur.
"It Is true that at first we were n bit
taken by surprise by the Germans, who
had marvelously organized 'heir nerlaj
armv In Mlence. They had more aviators
than we expected, and excellent craft.
Consequently they were able at the start
to count on splendid scouting service.
They were over our positions at night,
and at dawn their artillery showed by
Its deadly work how careful and accurate
Ji.icl beon the reconnaissances.
"Then we put into action our admir
able iirmy of the air. It was not lone
before It rendered exceptional service to
the headquarters' stnff. It played a de
cisive role at the battle of the Marne.
At the present moment It Is a precious
auxiliary. I nilKht almost ny an Indis
pensable adjunct, to the victorious march
of our troops.
"I have been Instructed to make recon
naissances on many occasions, both In
the cast and north, in spite of th.' In
tense fire by the enemy I have been
able tn report the situation of the Ger
man troops, note their movements, esti
mate their numhers and Importance, and
I am convinced I was able to b of great
service.
"When the war Is over, one of the
finest paces In hlMory wilt tell of the
role of the aviator."
All this applies to the uoroplane only.
The airman declared tho dirigible air
ship has not proved a success. It Is
t the mercy of an squadron of aero
planes, he said, and he does not bellove
It has any military future.

TO HELP COMRADES
Militant Schoolmaster
Crawls 500 Yards Across
Shell-swept Field to Res

OPERA SINGER SAYS
GERMANS TORTURED
BOYS UNDER ORDERS
LONDON. Sept. SO,
How a former schoolmaster, now in
the Urttlsh army, crawled fiOO yards
across a battlefield to brlnn aid for
Mounded comrades, though he himself
hnd been struck by n shell, Is told In a
letter received by the Hcv. V. Johnson, of
York. A comrade accompanied the
schoolmaster on his slow, painful Jour
ney, and they were seven hours crawl-
i Inr the 500 yards.
The wrltor. FVrnnn-1 Dnehtir. w.vi n I
French master at Arrhblshop Holsato's
school. Telling of Ills experiences, ho
said:
"On the morning of September 6 the
General Issued orders that we were to
stand our ground at all costs. AVe did
It, but at what costs? AVe 'fere going
to charge a village hen n shell felt
behind me, burst and hit me In several
places three times on the head, twice
on the right leg, nt the ankle and thigh,
and once on the left leg at the ankle.
I was left on the battlefield and crawled
to a hut. and there 1 found nine others.
"We were exposed to a terrible fire
from the artillery, and expected the hut
to bo blown to pieces at any time. To
ward the end of the second day we de
cided that two of us should volunteer
to fetch some help; so I did, and an
other followed.
"Wo were exactly between the French
and German lines, so we started crawl
lng on all fours. We had no sooner ap
peared at the door than as it wai a
moonlight night the gunner saw us.
How we escaped I don't know. We just
managed to turn the corner and were
safe, but it took us seven hours to
crawl 50) yards. When we reached the
ambulance In the French lines I told
the cure what I had done and where
my comrades were, and had the supreme
reward of hearing him say above the
buzz: 'You have done very well, my
child.' I felt him kl.s me on the fore
head and fainted uwa. Three hours
later, when I regained consciousness, I
had the pleasure of knowing that my
comrades had been saved."

NEW YORK, Sept. 3i-Antonlo Scotti.
the well-known baritone of tho Metro
politan upera Company, is the latest wit
ness to the truth of the reports of atroc
ities committed by the German army in
Belgium. Air. Scotti, who arrived in
New York lust week on the I.usltania,
told a reporter yesterday that lie had
seen Belgian boys whoso wrists had been
broken by German soldiers, tho boys'
sole offense having been that they had
taken water and provisions to Belgian
BOldiers.
Mr. Scotti further stated that public
opinion in Italy was rapidly forcing that
uumitn mto war against Austria and
Germans, and asserted that the resigna
tion .if thf Minister of Foreign Affair,
the Mari'h.SH d! San Galliano, would at
once precipitate the crisis.
"I saw in Loudon a number of Belgian
Tooys with both wrists broken." said Mr.
Scotti. "It was horrible, especially when
the sole offense of the poor children had
been that they had carried water and
provisions to the soldiers who were
lrghtlng to defend their country. There
can be no doubt as to the cruelties of
the Germans. One's eyes do not de
ceive. "These crueltiefc, however, seem to be
due to the orders of the otlleers rather
than to the brutality of the Individual

Italy took today what Is generally ac
cepted as the first step leading to an
open break with Austria. The Itallai.
Ambassador nt Vienna, Duke d'Avarna,'
was Instructed form illy to file a most
'mergetic protest
n.lnes by Austria in the Adriatic. He
was directed to demand that the Aus
trian Government immediately discon
tinue this practk-'.
Some of the mines have drifted to the
thore of Italy and constitute a constant
menace to shipping from Italian ports
As a result, the Admiralty announced
today that navigation In the Adriatic 13
indefinitely suspended
Inasmuch as tho mines arc the only
thing which has permitted the Austilan
fleet to remain within the protection of
the 1'ola fortlftcaticns. It Is not believed
here that Austria will agree to stop
planting them. Italy will then be com
pelled to enforce her decree by her army
and navy.
In the official statement sent to Vienna,
It Is pointed out that many Italian fish
ing vessels have fallen victims to the
mines. It is stated that hundreds
already have been picked up, that many
others have floated ashore on Italian
territory and that the fishing craft are
lr. grave danger every time they put out
to stretch their nets.
The Instructions sent to the Duke
d'Avarna speak of tho Austrian mine

At that time the British guns all opened

I saw a sight which t hope It will never

along the south of laon. It was mar

German guns replying.
"I fear there will bo a lot more awful

THE SKCRKT F CAST STEEL.
Shortly before hi denth. however, the
first of the puient-day Krupps cunlided
to his son, Alfred, the socret of making
cgf-t steel, which the latter developed suc
cessfully. Alfred, with the indumltablo
perseverance that captivates tho Imagina
tion, contlnutd In the face of moun
tainous difficulties his endeavors to Im
prove thj manufacture of steel.
Then came the Krupp opportunity the
great exhibition at Iindon In 1S51. The
obscure Rhenish steelmaker from Essen
electrified tho military univeiso with a
slx-pounder of flawless cast steel. Since
then the German army and navy have
bought 2,0 Krupp guns. And S0,0f)
Krupp guns have been sold In the lust
half century to 5J nations throughout tho
world Zi In Europe, li in America, sis
;n Asia, five in Africa.
Dut the Krupps havo never manufac

Alfred Krupp's breech. loading riflo anil
cannon, adopted by the Prussian nrmy In

factory became world famous for Its

Alter Many National
Frontiers Some Possible
Changes. .
LONDON, Sept. TO.
Austin West, correspondent of the
Dally Chronicle, In discussing possible
changes of frontiers when tho war Is
over, has the following to say under a
Milan dale line:
"As for likely 'changes In the map of
the world at the end of the wnr, 1 think
It probable that Great Uiltuln will take
over the German colonies, giving Spain
nnd Portugal 'a share therein, as a re
ward for .their neutrality.
"Russia will limit her demands to
Gallcin, at the same time settling guar
antees for the entlie Independence of tho
four Ualkun Stutes. Since Russia has
no Interest In the Adriatic problem, und,
moreover, cheiishes a warm friendship
with Italy, she will not offer opposition
to nn Italian protectorate over Albania.
In addition there will be u rectification of
Italy's not thorn frontiers on a national
racial basis.
"I think Franco, will, resume possession
of Alnsce-Lorialnc- and the Palatinate,
whllu Austilii will leniuln a German
Stnte and form n part of the Germanic
confederation.
"This will raise the question whether
tho German Kmperor shall be merely
King of Prussia or also King of Austria.
It s-ccnis to me quite unlikely that tho
United Stntes will Intervene, and If
Sweden should assert herself on behalf
of Germany she would find her action
neutralized by that of Norway and Denmark."
AGENTS OF KAISER
REPORTED WORKING
IN ENGLISH SOCIETY
Spies Said to Be Mingling
With High War Oficials.
Their Work Scorned by
Military Expert.
LONDON, Sept. 3i),-Tlio charge that
Germany 1ms sent hundreds' of spies Into
England to move lit tho beat society and
mingle with those close to the Admiralty,
V'nr Olllce nnd Foreign Ofllco was mado
today by tho Times In nn nrtlclo by Its
mltltnry export, Colonel Charles Replng
lon. This nrtlclo nnd the charges which the
Times makes follow closely the first ref
erences of First Lord of the Admiralty
WhiRton Churchill to "German lieuten
ants, wlio havo been living In Kngtand
for years nnd who now nro tnklng ad
vantage of llrltlsh hospitality to spread
their nets of espionage."
According, to Colonel Rcplngton, Kng
land has brcn Infested wKh German spies
for years, hut there nre more hero now
than eve before, and the Germnn Gov
ernment Is offering high pay to .men and
women of education, culture nnd com
manding appearance who can mingle with
ofllrlnls of tho llrltlsh Government In
tho highest circles of society.
In pnrt Colonel Replngton says:
"The most dangerous of theso spies
are not the lieutenants, but highly placed
persons -who move In good society nnd
also In the realms of finance. The Ger
man system extends to all classes.
Twenty years ago some of our olllccrs
came Into touch with the Gorman In
telligence service nnd learned n groat
ileal about It. Even at that time the net
was largo and was bo widespread that It
extended oven to America, where agents
acted tu the guise of business men,
"Despite Its fervid activity, 1 havo not
a very high opinion of the German In
telligence system. The failure of this
department to learn until August SO that
theie was a British army In France Is
tho best proof of Its Incapacity."
