ment of her marriage to Duke Aturo

2 BURN TO DEATH
IN A DUEL IN SKY
Foes Attack Envelops German
Graft in Flames and Oc-
cupants Perish.

Bordeaux, Oct. S.-Oficial dispatches
received by the French war depart
ment give a graphic account of an
aerial duel which was watched by
thousands of soldiers of the Frencl.
and German armies Oct. at Jonchery,
in the region of Reims.
A German aeroplane of the Aviatic
type ascended with two men and after
circling over the French positions was
returning to its own lines, when Ser
geant Frantz, one of the most expert of
French aviators, accompanied by his
Quinault, sprang into ma
chine and gave chase.
By a skillful maneuver, the French
aeroplane took the German on the
flank and wounded the pilot and put a
bullet through the gasoline tank.
A sheet of flame enveloped the
Aviatic and the machine dropped rap
idly. landing close to the French lines.
In the descent the unwounded man
continued to fire his pistol until pre-
vented by the flames.
Sergeant Frantz came to earth in a
series of magnificent spirals. Both
Germans were found burned TO death
in the embers of their machine. Frantz
was decorated with the Legion of
Honor and Quinault was awarded the
medal for their exploit.

German AeropIans Flies
Over French Capital
and Its Suburbs.
THREE PERSONS HURT
Official Report Says That News
From Front Is Entirely
Satisfactory.

PARIS, OCT. "a GERMAN AERO
PLANE FLEW OVER PARIS AND
THE SUBURBS OF AUBERvIL-
LIERS AND ST. DENIS AT THIS
MORNING AND DROPPED TWO
BOMBS, ONE OF WHICH WOUNDED
THREE PERSONS. THE OTHER
DID NO HARM.
ENTIRELY SATISFACTORY AND
REASSURING WAS THE GENERAL
OPINION TODAY OF THE LAST
NEWS FROM THE FRONT, AS IN.
DlCATED BY THE WAR OFFICES
STATEMENT.
London. Oct. S.-AIl eyes today turn
ed to Antwerp, whose fate here is re-
garded as important ont of all proper
tions to the numbers of men engaged
in the attack and defense. Germany
must not only keep an open door into
France, it is argued here, but must be
prepared to close her back door to
Essen, the most important military
center, in case the long, stubborn fight
of General Won Kluck, commander of
the German right, ends in disaster.
The war has presented no picture
of greater desolation than that of the
hosts of refugees fleeing from the last
Belgian stronghold. Great crowds of
citizens of Antwerp, dumb with ter
ror, as the huge German shells hurtle
over their heads with noise like an
express train, are fleeing toward Eng
land and Holland. Flight of these
unfortunates is accelerated by the ap-
pearance over the city of Zeppelins
dropping destruction and death.
Garrison Reinforced.
The only ray of hope from the al |
lies standpoint is found in news that |
the almost exhausted garrison at Ant |
werp has been reinforced by fresh |
troops and more guns. Up to the pres |
ent time only one great German siege |
gun has been brought into play, and |
this at frequent intervals. Guns OF |
half the size of the destroyers of Liege |
and Namur are being used in battling |
