MINI AV|AT0RS DIE
IN A MIMIC BATTLE
AUSTRIAN MILITARY MEN MEET
TRAGIC DEATH IN SHAM
FIGHT IN AIR.
BODIES BADLY MUTILATED
AeropIane Makes Attack on Dirigible;
Latter Ripper Open-Explosion
Follows Immediately.

Vienna.-Nine burned and mutllated
aeroplane and the charred remnants
of big dirigible balloon are the mute
records of one of the most senatorial
disasters which has occurred since
man learned to fly. The catastrophe,
which resulted in the death Of all con-
cerned, nine officers and men, followed
a mimic attack by the aeroplane on
the aeroplane on the dirigible at a
great height the Austrian manueuvers
and served to show, more than any
previous accident to flying machines
have done, the horrors that would be
likely to attend aerial warfare.
The dirigible military balloon Koert-
ling left Fischamend, IL miles from
Vienna, manned by Capt. Johann
Hauswirth, in command, Lieutenant
Ernst Hoffstetter, Lieutenant Bruerr,
Lieutenant Haidinger, Corporal Hadi-
ma, Corporal Weber and Engineer
Kammerer.
At the elapse of half an hour a
military biplane, with Lieutenant
Flatz and Lieutenant Hoosta aboard,
started in pursuit.
1t was tie intention Of Captain
Hauswirth to take photographs of the
movements of the troops below and
then to join in the maneuvers. At the
same time he was to keep out OF range
of any of the mosquito craft which
might seek to attack him.
AS might a wasp bent on attacking
some clumsy enemy, the aeroplane
circled several times around the bal
loon, now darting closer to her, and
then away, always apparently steer
ing off just in time to avoid an actual
collision.
Meanwhile the balloon continued to
rise until it was about 1900 feet from
the ground The eeroplane, at still
greater height, unanswered until il
appeared to be nearly over the aid
chip. Then it began it's descent. L
was the evident intention Of the pilot
Of the aeroplane to take up a posi-
ton directly above the dirigible
within striking distance, but owing
either to a fatal miscalculation of dis
lance or speed, the nose of the bi
plane struck the envelope of the air
ship and ripped it wide open.
A tremendous explosion followed
the balloon burst into flames, which
enevloped the biplane, and in a mo
ment the wreckage began to drop
crashing at length like lead to the
slope of a bill. Almost at the SAM
moment the wife of Lieutenant Hof
stetter, who had been married only
month, arrived in motor cor.
