D|R|G|bLE BALLOON
BOMBARDS FORT T O|}|
Maneuvers by French De-
partment of War.
NEAR GER M AN FRONTIER
Aerial Trials Considered Extraordinary
as Well as Successful by
the Experts.

PARIS, Oct 2S.-Like a glance into
the future by a Verne OF Wells has
been the work Of the balloon and auto
mobile corps of the French army in
the field maneuvres during the past
few days. High in the air over the
forts of Toul-which, by the by, lies
on the road to Strasbourg-the Lebaudy
military dirigible balloon circled and
swung-bombarding the Notifications be-
low with blank cartridges-while swift
automobiles followed the airship on the
roads beneath and fired at 1t with light
rapid-fire guns.
The demonstration was the most re-
markable of modern war methods. II
marked two great steps forward in MIL
itary science. The practicability of the
balloon as an attacking force was clear
ly shown. but as parallel development
il was also shown that these aerial as
saults could be opposed and a splendid
defense established by the use of small,
light high-power guns mounted on swift
auto cars.
Attacks on Forts.
The Lebaudy military dirigible bal
loon made three successful flights and
created the greatest enthusiasm among
The third and by far the most ambi-
tious flight on the part of the balloon
resulted in successful attack upon a
series of ortifcations.
The umpires We're confronted with
conditions such as have never arisen
on any actual battlefield and tissS..ss- ade-
cision has been contested by many who
witnessed the maneuvres. They admit
ted the success of the attack by the bal
loon on the forts. but also credited the
automobile guns with a victory over
the balloon.
The great airship was sent to a height
of 4,5o0 feet with several army officers
on board. A course was mapped out
which was followed perfectly by the
airship, although it was forced to make
its way against the wind. with the wind
