FRENCH DEFEAT GERMANS
IN THRILUNC AEROPLANE
WE INSIDE ALLIED LINES
Fumes, Belg/um, Via Paris, Aipril 9,
5.46 A. M.—A dramatic duel in the
air, in which a German aircraft \yas
brought down by Roland G. Garros, a
famous French aviator, inside the allied
lines, was described last night by Ma
jor Baoul Pontus, son of the former
Belgian Minister of War, wlio witnessed
the combat. The German at first suc
ceeded in rising above Garros' machine,
but the latter, by u clover twist, escaped
and then flew atop the German. •
"From this moment the Gerntan's
position became critical," said Major
Pontus, "for Garros overtook him rap
idly. Presently the crackling of a
quick-firer showed the Frenchman
judged himself sufficiently near to take
t'lie offensivf. Could the German es
cape! It seemed difficult, for Garros
shot forward in great bounds, getting
nearer and nearer, but the German ob
server used his carbine freely and it
seemed that a bullet migut strike the
Frenchman.
"Suddenly a long jet of white smoke
gushed from the German machine and
then a'little flame, which in an instant
enveloped the whole aeroplane. Not
withstanding the eitremo peril, the
pilot took to flight, but his effort to
escape soon was converted into a horri
fying ' downward plunge. The aero
plane, a mass of tlames, struck the
? round with a thud a score of yards
rom me, and a column of smoke min
gled with sheets of fire from the fallen
machine.
"I ran to the aeroplane and soon
put out the Are. The aviators were
dead when I reached them. The gaso
line tank contained two bullet holes.
The machine was marked No. 2, forti
eth flotilla. Its six-cylinder engine was
very heavy and this explained its rap
id fall. The Are had spared instruments
and military documents in thick leather
cases. This booty was taken to general
headquarters."

STEAMER THESEUS HAS AN
EXCITING TIME ESCAPING
FROM GERMAN SUBMARINE
Liverpool, A.pril 9, 4.25 A. M.—
The captain of the Blue Funnel line
steamer Theseus, which left Liverpool
March 2'7, for Java, has se>nt back a
report of an exciting chase by a Ger
man submarine. The Theseus managed
to make her escape but she was sub
jected to and damaged by shell iire
from the submarine.
On March 29, at 7 o'clock in the
morning the Theseus sighted the sub
marine at a. point forty miles south
west of Bishop Rock lighthouse. The
submarine signalled her to stop and
abandon ship, but this order was
ignored and the Theseus put on full
steam and started zigzaiging on her
course. The submarine opened fire and
continued throwing shells at the The
seus at intervals. The chase continued
until 10.30 when the submarine aban
doned the pursuit and appeared to
turn her attention to a small steamer
flying the Norwegian flag.
* Of the seven explosive shells fired
by the three-inch gun' on the subma
rine, five struck the Theseus and did
considerable damage. The mainmast
was badly cut and the quarters of the
firemen in the poop were wrecked. The
Theseus maintained a speed of about
17 knots. Fron\ time to time she fired
explosive distress signals in the hope
of attracting the attention of the Brit
ish warship. The captain of the steam
er is of the opinion that had it not
been for the rough sea the submarine
would have overhauled, the Theseus.
No member of the crew of the The
seus was injured. All the damage to
the vessel was above the water line,
and only temporary repairs were re
quired.
