ARMIES THRILLED
AT AIRSHIPS' DUEL
6000 FEET IN AIR
French Monoplane Combats
Two German Machines,
Driving One Back and
Sending Other to Ground.
PARIS, Oct. 13.
An aerial victory for the Krench. fought
thousands of feet in tho air, In the pres
ence of troops of lioth armies, Is re
ported by Lieutenant de Lalns, of the
French Aerial Corps. The air duel was
one of the most thrilling since the war
began. Lieutenant de Lalns' nccount of
thp combat follows:
"I had bfen ordered to fly over the
German lines with an observer, who was
to drop pamphlets. TIw-sb pamphlets con
tained the following inscription: 'German
soldiers, attention. German ofllcers say
that the French maltreat prisoners. This
Is a He. German prisoners aro as well
treated as unfortunate adversaries should
be,'
"Wo had no sooner taken wing than
the aeroplane was sighted by German
observers in captlvo balloons anchored
about alx miles distant. Immediately two
Albatross machines roso from tho Ger
man camp and came forward.
"We continued to advance, meanwhile
sending the aeroplane higher and higher
until tho barograph showed we were
(f.00 feet above the ground. Our machine
wat. spctdier than tho German aeroplane,
which was constructed of steel und was
so heavy It coud not work up the speed
of the French army monoplane.
"We were able to get over thu German
lines and my companion began hurling
thousands of the pamphlets lit every di
rection. It was like a snowstorm.
"In the meantime the German artillery
got their long-range anti-air gun in action
and were hurling volley after volley
against us. Tho shells were of special
type, designed to create violent air waves
when they buret. We were too high to be
reached, but e had to turn our attention
to the two areoplanes which were rush
ing toward us. As they approached the
German artillery tire stopped. We were
too high to distinguish what was going on
beneath us. but I could imagine the thou,

the Ociman lines, and I kept getting
higher and higher in order to out

tle on River San.
PKTROGRAD, Oct. 13.
The General Staff, announced today tho
defeat of tho AiiHtro-German forces In
Galicia near the River San. Tho exact
location was withheld In accordance with
the now policy of secrecy regarding this
campaign. It was declared, however, that
the enemy suffered greatly, losing a num
ber of guns nnd many transport wagons.
The attack was begun by cavalry charges
on either (lank, supported by Infantry nnd
nrtlllery to tho centre.
Defent of the Austro-Gcrman army ad
vancing on Sandomierz, a town of Rus
sian Poland on the Vistula about 00 miles
northeast of Cracow, Is announced In a
statement Issued by the Government
News Bureau today. It declnres that the
Germans lost nn entire division. Whllo
the statement does not give tho exact
location of the battle, it Is believed to
have occurred south of tho Vistula In
Galicia.
(This apparently confirms the statement
Issued at Vienna that the Austrian army
had taken the offensive cast of Cracow).
"Tho Russian advance column." bays
tho statement, "delivered nnother defent
on the Austro-Gcrman army ndvanclng
on Sandomierz. The Russian cavalry
took the offensive before tho Germans
had taken ndvantngous positions. Cos
sacks swept down on the flanks of the
enemy and captured some guns.
"When the Germans retreated they had
lost one entire division with Its equip-
ment. ( A German division numbers 20,
00) men.)
"In Poland, the Germans tiro being
drawn Into a position wlicro their heavy
cavalry nrtlllery, and sometimes, com
plete divisions of foot artillery, are
placed In such positions that they bave

adversaries not only better fighters and
better shots, but also commanded by moro

"The scope of the present campaign
has fully Justified tho Russian strategy
In that in the Province of Kielce anil
along the banks of tho Wark. tho Ger

that tho Russians can advance in full
force on the banks of tho Oder before
the opening of the winter campaign."

Tho belief persisted here In ofllclal cir
cles today that at least one of the raiding
German submarines responsible for the
sinking Sunday of the Russian cruiser
Palluda In the Baltic Sea had been dis
abled. The N'avnl Ofllco had only bare details
of tlio I'allada's torpedoing. The exact
location was not ascertainable. At least
173 all aboard the 1'allnda wont down
with the ship.
Tho cruiser Bnyitn, scouting with the
Palluda nt the time, Is behoved to havo
hit one of the submarines.
An official bulletin admits that the Rus
siun armored cruiser Pnllada was tor
pedoed Sunday In tho Baltic Sea by a
German submnrlne, nnd sank with all
her crew.
The text of tho bulletin follows;

sighted In tho Baltic Sen. The same day,
early In the morning, tho submarines at

which was searching a susnectcd bark
Hying tho commercial (lag of the Nether
lands. "A submarine of the enemy launched
sovoral torpedoes, which, luckily, missed
the matk nnd caused no damage what
soever to the cruiser.
"On October 11, at 2 o'clork In the
nfternoon, tho submarines of the enemy
again attacked our cruisers Bayan and
Pnllada, which were patrolling tho
Bnltlc.
"Although the cruisers opened a very
strong fire, ono of the submarines suc
ceeded lu launching torpedoes ngalnst
tho Pnllada, whereupon an explosion re
sulted and the cruiser sank with all her
crew."
The Pallada, Bayan and Admiral Maka
