ST. PETERSBURG, July "A big
military balloon in which four officers
of the Russian artillery service were
making an experimental flight has been
sunk in the Baltic.
News of the disaster reached st. Pc
tersburg today and the war Office has
wired for full details. The four officers
were experienced aeronauts, and had
been experimenting with military bal
looms for some time
Their experiments had been watched
with interest by the military authorities
in st. Petersburg. It had not been gen
orally known on the Continent that
Russia has really taken the lead in the
application of aeronautics to modern
warfare, and little had been published
in Russian newspapers
The names of the officers engaged in
the perilous trials had been kept secret
as had the general plans of the war
Office with reference to aeronautics. The
big balloon which sunk in the Baltic
was sent up yesterday.
Contrary winds drove her about for
some time and finally. after nightfall
she was driven straight out over the
Baltic sea. She disappeared quickly
from the watchers, and news OF her col
