PARIS. Aug. Apparently aiming
to strike at Paris itself and destroy
that city with bombs dropped from
the air. a fleet OF German dirigibles
and aeroplanes dashed across the Dor
der at midnight and penetrated to a
point so miles within France.
There they sighted a squadron Of
French aeroplanes that had darted
from Rheims when word was flashed
that the Germans were making a
sOrtie toward the capital Rife shots
We're exchanged but without result so
far as the war office has learned, and
then the German invaders turned and
sped back 10 their own country.

centrating for a week. They crossed
the frontier near Pagny, and then

ready for quick action, and within ten
minutes a squad OF eight Of the fast
est mOnOplanes were hurtling through
the air TO meet the invaders. The
French aviatOrs caught sight OF their
foes just east OF Demmartin-Surh-
Yevre. Rising high in the air the
French pilots attempted TO get above
the German dirigibles and then swoOp
down, but were Temporarily checked
by the German aerOplanes whose
pilots fired rapidly while the dirigibles
turned and sped northeast.
When the big war machines had OBJ
tanned a good start, the German aero
planes also wheeled and followed
them, the feet proceeding northeast
with the French aviators still in pur-
suit
In the meantime news OF the aerial
invasion had reached Paris and men
were stationed all around with quick
firing guns on all fortifications.
Searchlights continually swept the
heavens until word came that the
aeroplanes were speeding toward the
frontier.

That same exhilar- ating air dries the skin The skin, that iacks moisture graws pale and withered looking and soonforms wrinkles
