AERONAUTS FALL
1900 FEET;LIvE
THRILLING ESCAPE OF FORBES
AND POST IN BERLIN BAL
LOON RACES.

Berlin, Oct. 12 - The international
balloon race which started yesterday
from the suburb of Schmaergendorf,
was the victim of thrilling accident,
two American aeronaurs having a
miraculous escape from death. The
American balloon "Conqueror," one of
the American balloons in the contest,
having on board A. Holland Forbes
and Augustus Post, less than two min
utes after the start, burst at an alti-
tude Of 1000 feet. For 1000 feet it
shot down like bullet, and then the
torn silk bag assumed the shape of a
parachute and the rapldIty Of the des-
cent was checked. Close to the earth
the basket smashed into the roof Of a
house, but the men escaped with
slight injuries.
The race, in which twenty-three bal
looms, participated, representing
Great Britain, France, Germany, the
United States. Switzerland. Italy, Bel
GUM and Spain, started at o'clock
in the afternoon in the presence of
at least $4,000 spectators. Amid the
strains of America" and volleys of
cheers "The America H." under COM
mand Of James Mccoy, was sent
away. The second batch of eight bal
looms was led by Forbes in the "Con-
queror,' which was started with some
difficulty, owing to a gusty wind and
too much ballast. But eventually it
shot up and reached high altitude in
a short period, the basket swaying
violently, and at the same time the
silk collapsed.
Thousands who had gathered there
stood for moment petrified. Many
turned away, fainting as they saw the
balloon falling with lightning-like ra.
pidity.
"They are killed. went in a hushed
whisper through the crowd, but short,

transformed into a sort of parachute
and the wrecked balloon came down
slower and slower. The suspense
among the crowd was terrible A few
; minutes later telephone message
was received from Friedman which
announced that the men had not been
seriously injured. A sigh of relief
went up a moment later among the
people, who threw their hats in the
air with joy

London, Oct. 12.-The autumn ses-

Despite the warlike language Of the
crown prince on Saturday when he
declared before the angered thous-
ands who had gathered at the palace
that he believed they all soon would
be able to offer their lives in defense
of the king and the fatherland, dem

and apparently the people are begin
ming to realize that war would mean
the annihilation of Servia.
Reports published abroad that gen
eral mobilization of the Servian army
has been ordered are incorrect. Only
the first reserves have been called
out, and it is not intended to summon
the other classes at the present time.
With the first reserves there will be
only 100000 men under arms alto
