yesterday. hole was blown in. the

three pews were destroyed and pieces

from temporary altar, Two of the
five persons who were at worship in
the church were slightly injured by Ay.
ing fragments of metal and wood,
Whether the explosion, the sound OF
which was heard blocks away. was
caused by bomb was matter of
doubt for some hours. Reports that
such device had been employed were
declared erroneous by the police, who
asserted that either a hot air box or a
recently installed heating apparatus
had burst. Inspector Owen Eagan,
of the Bureau of Comhustrbles, decided
last night. however, that a bomb had
caused the damage.
In the dust and fragments gathered
up were discovered a two-inch length
of pipe half inch in diameter, bit
of tin resembling box cover and
small pieces of iron
Police and fire officials said thev
knew of no motive any one could have
for exploding bomb in the Cathedral.
Monsignor Michael j. Lavelle and other
priests of ST. Patrick's made similar
statements. Monsignor Lavele suggest

A Recital of Recent
Thrilling Air Duels
Between French and
German Machines
THEIR VALUE IN
AERIAL. SCOUTING
A French Corps Commander Ventures
Opinion That Single Aeroplans
Is as Valuable as a Whole Division
of Cavalry in War

Paris, Oct. IA, 9.10 A, M,-The sc-
tivity of German aeroplanes over Paris
has brought up general discussion OF
the value of these machines in warfare
and recital of thrilling aerial duels
between French and German machines.
One French corps commander is quoted
as having said that in his opinion a
single aeropiane was as valuable as a
division of cavalry. Aeroplanes are of
the greatest service in preventing sur
prises, and few important movements of
troops nave been made which have not
been promptly reported by aerial scouts
before the;r completion.
4 daring encounter took place recent
ly between German monoplsne and a
French hiplane during a critical mo-
ment in the execution of an important
nlaneuver north of the river Disc. The
German machine was seen sailing over
the French lines just before strong
detachment of troops was to start on
movement TO the north. For the sue
cess of this maneuver it was vital that
this scout of the air be removed and
q French biplane undertook the respon-
sibilitv.
The French machine rose from the
ground abruptly and in rapid circles
gained an altitude greater than that of
the German, but even this advantage
was not sufficient 10 drive the scout
away. In a daring dive in which he
braved heavy fire from the French
lines tine German descended 10 q height
of 1000 yards, aud sliilfullv avoiding
the French machine, he started 10 drive
for the German lines. The Frenchman
seemed to have the advantage in speed
which has not often been the case in
seroplsne encounters in this war. For
8 while the German was successful in
keeping out of reach of the Frenchman
but the biplane, continuing its flight al
a considerable height, finally attained
an advantageous position.
Then there could be heard the quick
and sharp reports of a machine gan
on the French flyer. The monoplaue
foated for few moments as If the
pilot had lost control and then. flut
tering like a wounded bird on the wing
the machine started an obique flight
downward which ended in its crashing
to the earth.
