B|PLANE RIPS BALLOON
Mimic War in the Air Suddenly
Turned Into Tragic
Reality.

VIENNA, June 20-Nine aviators lost
their lives today when a mimic war in
the air was suddenly turned into tragic
reality by the accidental ripping Of a
dirigible airship by a biplane while both
were flying at a great height during the
Austrian army maneuvers.
Both craft were destroyed and their oc-
cupants, nine military and naval officers
and non-commissioned officers. were
burned and mutilated beyond recognition.
The Austrian army dirigible balloon
Koertling ascended at Fischamend.
about twelve miles from Vienna. where
there is a military aviation station. 1t
was the intention of Capt. Johann Haus-
wirth, the commander, to take photo
graphs of the movements of the troops
below, and then to join in the maneu-
vers.
The aeroplane started half an hour
later from the same spot. 1t was man
ned by Lieuts. Flatz and Hoosta.
The mosquito craft soon overlook her
big sister, and Immediately began a
sham attack. After encircling the air.
ship several times at height of 1900
feet, the biplane pilot suddenly maneu-
vered his little craft with the object
of taking position directly above the
airship.
The navigator evidently miscalculated
his distance or his speed. for the nose of
the biplane graZed the envelope of the
airship and ripped 1t wide open.
There was a terrific explosion and the
aIrship took fire. The flames engulfed
the biplane. and in a few moments the
remnants of both craft crashed on the
slopes of a mountain with their occu-
pants. The bodies were SO charred and
mangied that they were scarcely recog-
nizable.
The names OF the victims were Capt.
Johann Hauswirth, Lieuts. Ernest Hof-
stetter Flatz, Toosta. Bruer and Haid-
irger; Corps. Hadima and Weber and
Engineer kammerer.

Americans Plan to Erect Tablet at

The tablet will be erected in the Hing

Ready to Receive Members.

The Star will now receive applications
for membership from any child or grown
up who wants to belong. Every member
of the Bedtime Stories Club will receive
the club button-without charge. Mem
bership will be absolutely democratic.
Anybody can join. Let's hope everybody
will. Sam is the first member, because
he was the first one spoken to about
the club. And it Just CHANGED that he
came along the street at that time, in
stead Of any other boy or girl. The
first member might just as well have
been any one else and might Just as
well have been a girl-And that puts the
question:
who will be the first girl to join
The Stars Bedtime Stories Club?"
The one object of the club Is to teach
kindness to birds and animals. And the
only thing you have to do If you want to
join Is to be friend to the Little People
of the Green Forest. the Sunny Meadow
and the.Smiling Stream. But. remember,
if you send in your name for member
ship in the club, it means that you pledge
yourself-to yourself-to be kind to dumb
creatures and to protect them when you
can from enemies, whose only motive Is
to destroy.
With Mr.. Burgess to keep us on friend
ly terms with his Little People of the
Green Forest and with all Washington
included in the membership to The Stars

new answer for the old play-question:

The boys and girls who have been

reading for little children ever has been
written than these Bedtime Stories.
Back of every one is lesson of kind
ness. and each impars useful informa-
ton about the habits of wild animals
which every child should know.
Mr.. Burgess is not a nature faker
who sacrifices fact for the sake Of the
story His natural history is correct
and your own little people can learn
much about "The Little People Of the
Green Forest and the Green Meadows
that may help them, in after years, to
become better men and better women

Opinion of Children Sought.

Before starting The Stars Bedtime
Stories Club a wise person who insists
upon doing the right thing decided to get
first hand views from boys and girls
on the street. 1t turned out to be such
a fine way of getting at the pulse OF
public opinion that-well, the club just
had to be formed right now-today.
Sam Wall-the first boy spoken to
wants the honor-and gets it-of being
the first member. Sans official name
is Samuel Adams Wall. He is the
SON of T. G. Wall. the route agent Of
the Southern railway. at Greenville,
s. c.. and he resides in Washington
with his elder brother, T. @. Wall, jr.,
connected with the local offices of the
Southern railway Sam is eleven years
old and lives at Falkstone Courts, 18th
and Fairmont streets.
And now you all know the first char
ter member of The Stars Bedtime

Bedtine-this is Sam talking-and

surf bathing and summer resort where
they may congregate In the evening.
The principal matter now to be looked

D. c., probably will go to Baltimore this
afternoon to see If he can obtain ves-
men to Norfolk. where they will disem-
bark and entrain for the camp. Steam
boat and railroad lines leading out of
Washington have quoted high rates to
the guardsmen for the trip to and from
the camp grounds.
There is no vessel now at Washington
which could carry the entire guard to
Norfolk. 1t would be necessary to take
half of the men July 1 and have the
vessel return and take the remainder
July >. In the return trip those of the
guardsmen who left Washington first
would be called upon to be the advance
guard in breaking camp.
An Ideal Camp.
The camp site picked out by the board
of National Guard officers is declared to
be an ideal one in every way. Right on
the camp grounds there is fresh water
lake where the men can fish and boat
Half a mile distant is the ocean. where
they can go bathing, and in the evening
they can go to Virginia Beach for their

and one of the largest dancing pavilions
in that section of the country. An cleo
trio railway runs right to the camp
grounds from Virginia Beach.
There undoubtedly will be lots Of time
for the guardsmen to enjoy themselves.
1t is probable that the drills and exer-
cises will be held almost exclusively In
the morning, leaving the afternoons for
the men to go bathing IN the surf and
the evenings for them to go to Virginia

Many District government officials and
employees who had planned weekend
trips beginning today were forced to
change their plans yesterday afternoon
when the Commissioners decided not to
interfere with the usual custom of hav-
ing the Saturday half-holiday season be-
gin in July.
Because of the announcement that Sat
urday half holidays for federal govern
ment clerks would begin today. en-
ployes Of the District government thought
the District heads might adopt similar
plan. A final decision was not reached
until yesterday, when the Commission
ers informed Alonzo Tweedale. auditor
for the District, that weekend vacations
would be granted during July, August
and September as heretofore.
