AYIATORS MAKE A
DANGEROUS FLIGHT
Two French Birdmen Fly Over the
Fortress of Metz, psop-
ping Bombs.
MAKE SUCCESSFUL ESCAPE
Engine of One of the Airships stops,
but This Does Not Deter the
Valiant Frenchmen from
Success.

PARIS, Aug, 16-Q:1O =. m)-DetaiIs
OF a daring exploit at Metz carried out
by French military ayiators were given
today in an official communication issued
by the war office which says:
AT $50 on Friday evening Lieutenant
Casari and Corporal Prudhomme, flying
in separate aeroplanes left the French
fortress of Nerdun with order to recon-
noiter If possible and destroy the drigible
blloon shed in the German fortress OF
Metz
Lieutenant Cassr flew over the
fortress at a height of nearly 5000 feet
while Corporal Prudhomme remained at
the lower altitude of about $1,000 feet
"A terrific fire was directed on the two
aviators from the fortress garrison and
during the fusillade the motor of Lisut's
aeroplane stopped. As he did not wish
TO fail i'm his mission he began TO vol
plane and while doing this threw a bomb
with marvellous coolness Shortly after
wards he succeeded In getting his motor
started again.
In the meantime the corporal I'D
hurled his projectile also.
Return safely.
The smoke over the city prevented
the aviators seeing whether they had
been successful, but they believed they
had achieved their purpose and flew
away amid n rain of shells from quick
firing guns. They returned safely 10
Nerdun."
The official communication continues.
Further details of the fighting around
Blamont and Cirey-Sur-V Vezouze in the
French department Of Meurthe-et-Moselle
show that the Germans were strongly
intrenched behind earthworks near Bla-
mont when on Friday evening the
French division began its attack The
German outposts repulsed the French
who at daybreak the following day re-
sumed the offensive supported by artil-
lory and succeeded during the afternoon
in taking Blamont ami Grey. The Ger
man troops then occupied the heights to
the north. from which they were also
driven. The German casualties were Sc

No Increase Shown in Wheat Yield.

Washington. Sept. 9.-Tae corn yield
bushels, according to an estimate made
on Sept. l by the government and is
sued yesterday afternoon.
This estimate places the corn crop
at 20. 100000 more bushels than the
state produced in 1913 ana l2,i64,00o
bushels above the average for the last
ten years.
In the event that the governments
figures are borne out by the actual
yield, there will be little excuse for
the Iowa farmer wearing down
hearted look during the win:er months,
according to DR.. George NJ. Chapel,
section director at the weather sta
ton.
Drouth Overestimated.
The drouth which continued for
many weeks apparently has not done
as much damage to the com as had
been expected. The government esti-
mated in August that the crop would
reach approximately 1896. 100000 bush
els. The reduction in the estimate is
only 31O00,000 bushels, which can be
attributed almost entirely 20 the effect
of the drouth upon corn in the south
ern counties of the state.
But there is more than "A mammoth
corn crop to make the Iowa farmer
rejoice. The prospects are that the
potato yield will exceed that OF 1913
by fully 100000 bushels.
The most dishearteninG news con-
tanned in the government report is that
Iowas apple crop will be exceedingly
small as compared with that of last
year. In 1913 the state produced
100000 bushels of apples. This year
the government estimates that the
crop will not go above 100000 BUSH
els.
Wheat Not So Abundant.
The winter wheat yield will be
about 100000 bushels, or the same
as last year. Indications are that the
crop of spring wheat will be fully
100000 bushels less than that of
1913. The estimate on the total yield
is 4.12O.O0O bushels.
The oats crop probably will fall 49,
100000 bushels short as compared with
the final yield for the preceding year.
The barley crop will be approximately
l0.20O.000 bushels or ABOUT the same as
last year.
The hay crop will not be as large
yield will be slightly larger.

that one side looks direct towards
the sunrise and into the crater and
the other down the valley Of Maui,
towards the west Maui mountains; !
the house as near the crater as pos
