June 20. —Nine aviators lost their lives to-day when a mimic war in the air was suddenly turned into tragic reality by the accidental ripping of a military balloon by a biplane while both were flying at a height of 600 feet during the Austrian army maneuvers.

After encircling the airship several times at a height of 1500 f vet the biplane's pilot suddenly maneuvered his little craft with the object of taking a position directly above the airship. The navifator evidently miscalcu lated his distance or his speed, for the nose of the biplane grazed the en velope o fthe airship and ripped it wide open. There was a terrific explosion and the airship took lire. The flames en gulfed the biplane and in a few mo ments the remnants of both craft crashed on the slopes of a mountain with their occupants. The bodies were so charred and mangled that they were scarcely rec ognizable.
