FIRST BATTLE on
AEROPLANES SINK
TWO DIRlGIBLES

London, Aug. 3.-A battle between
French and Germans was reported in
progress today at Longwy, fortified
town a few miles on the French side
of the Belgian frontier.
1t was said the Germans attacked the
French at daylight.
The engagement was expected to ex-
tend all along the Franco-Belgian from
tier, from I.ongwy to Grey, village
between Nancy and Strassburg.
The Germans already were said to
be advancing the guard of the COM
bined armies which undertook a French
invasion from Metz.
The German scouts, it was stated,
were using automobiles and motorcy-
cles instead of horses.
Wrecked Dirigble.
Early in the engagement, French
aviator, soaring high above the Ger
man aerial scout, was reported to have
fired down on the latter, killing him
and sending his machine crashing to
earth.
This was not the first aerial fight
reported since FrancoGerman hostili-
ties began.
A Paris message told of Roland Gar
ros sacrifice of his life in bringing
down German dirigible Sunday, just
after it had crossed the frontier from
Alsaee-L Lorraine into France, killing
every one of its crew of %.
The dirigible, big Zeppelin, was
said to have been scouting. Garris, as
soon as he sighted it, swoOped down
upon it, the story ran, from a height
of 1000 feet, ramming it with his ma
chine full force. Instantly, it was stat
ed, the dirigible burst into flames, and,
with the aeroplane still entangled in
its wreckage, dropped like plummet.
The victims corpses were said to
have been charred beyond recognition.
A Second One Wrecked.
Another German Zeppelin was re-
ported lost near the French village of
Toul at dusk Sunday night.
Like the other air craft, it appears
to have been scouting. A French avi-
ator, seeing it, made an immediate as
cent with an aeroplane to height
much greater than the Zeppelin's, and
rained shots upon it. His fire proved
so effective that the dirigible soon
crashed to the ground and all on board
were killed. Their number was not
given, but was supposed to have been
between 20 and 30, the average com
plement of airships of the Zeppelin
type.
The aviator who brought it down
however, lost control of his machine
during the fight, fell with his machine
and was dashed to pieces.
A French flying man was said GlsC
to have done much damage by dropping
bombs into the city of Nuremburg, and
still another French aviator was
brought down by German marksmar
at Wezel.

Sweeping Toward France.

London, Aug. g.. Three German
armies, including 22 corps and nearly
100000 men strong, were advancing

preaching French territory, spread out
in fan-like formation, from Nets, and
the third was moving from a point close
to the Swiss frontier.
Basle was reported occupied by Ger
man troops and it was said they had

May Seize Islands.

To control the various waterways
through the Danish archipelago into the
Baltic, however, it was plain the Dan
ish islands of Zealand, Fyen, Lange-
land, Laaland and Falster would have
to be occupied, and Copenhagen, the
capital, would be among the cities it
would be necessary for the Germans
to seize.
All things considered, the chances
that Denmark would escape a German
invasion were regarded here as slen-
der, and the suggestion was freely
made that, once occupied, if Germany
should emerge victorious from the war,
it would share the fate of Schlesig- Hol.
stein, remaining forever more a part
of the German empire.
Once inside the Baltic, if the British
fleet could be kept out, which seem
ed comparatively easy, naval experts
remarked, the German warships, though
bottled up, could do immense damage to
Russia, destroying its shipping, and, if
they chose, bombarding such cities as
Uleaborg, Nicolaistad, Kronstadt, Re,
val, Riga, Libau and even endangering
st. Petersburg.

Denmark, Too, in Danger.

Taking it for granted that this hap
pened, it was clear that it would be of
capital Importance to the Germans to
close both these avenues. To do so,
it was thought more than probable
German landings would be attempted
on both the Swedish and Danish sides
of the sound, and on the two Danish
shores of the great belt.
Indeed, Denmark's danger was con
sidered graver than Sweden's. In the
latter s case, it was pointed out, though
the Germans might seek to land and
seize the Swedish shore defenses, they
would have no object in overrunning
more than narrow strip of coast 40
to so miles long from about Hoganas,
perhaps as far south as FalsterbO
