BALLooNISTS HAVE HARD TIME
Caught in Mountain storm and
Are Severely Frost
bitten.

DENVER, Sept. 1.--After a lapse of more
than twenty-four hours, during which no
word was received from the three aero
nauts who left Denver yesterday to try for
transcontinental balloon voyage, a tele-
gram came tonight announcing that the
airship had been wrecked in a atorm
twenty-seven miles north OF Florence,
Colo. Although severely bruised and some
what frostbitten, the occupants we're not
seriously hurt.
The storm first struck the balloon at
$3.50 last night, and between that hour and
daylight the experience OF the aeronauta
was terrible IN the extreme. Three times
the balloon was carried over Pixies peak,
and the last time 1t was necessary to
throw out all the water, provisions and
Instruments In order to clear the rocky
summit of the mountain. At daylight q
landing was made and tonight the men
reached Florence.
The adventurous men are Thomas Bald
win and Percy Hudson. both experienced
balloonists, and @. L. Sherman, a Post
artist.

DEFENDS AMERICAN SOLDIERS
German Correspondent Writes that
They Have Been Remarkably
Humane in Philippines.

BERLIN, Sept. LA correspondent Of
the Frankfort Zeitung, writing from Ma
nila, replies to the charges Of cruelty on
the part Of the American army appearing
in European newspapers. He says:
Perhaps no other nation except the
United States would have had the patience
to meet the stubborn resistance Of the
Filipinos in Samar for two long years with
such humanity as, on the whole, has been
the case. II is not TO be wondered at thai
the American leaders finally let their gall
run over at the treaoherous tricks played
upon them and adopted sharper measures
OF course some excesses have occurred
but 1t is highly inadmissible to select
these few cases and serve them to the
public as typical of American warmak-
ing"
The correspondent also emphasizes tbs
injustice Of expecting Americans to OBJ
serve in every case the rules Of civilized
warfare while lighting such foe.

ness. combined with moderation, Of max
