and French Bleriot.
ROTTERDAM. Sept. 2s.

ROTTERDAM, Sept. &.
A Dutchman who has Just returned from
AlN-la-Chappele gives a thrilling story
OF an exciting three-cornered duel in
nnld-air fought a few days ago by the
occupants Of three airships-German
English and French. The story was re-
lated to him by the German officer. who
narrowly escaped death after an expert
ence which he does not desire repeated.
"Some days ago" this officer said, II

connoiterlnr in the northern district OF
France, especially near Lille and Maui

"while ! was flying into France I sud
denly heard the noise of an aeroplane.
which soon recognized as a British
military Bristol bipane, which had come
TO fight us Our first tactics were to
prevent the Bristol climbing higher than
us, but the British machine was cleverly
handled. and soon was $50 yards over us
Several attempts were made by us to
fly higher, but the British acroplanc

prudently turned northward. hoping to
reach the German camp before the Eng
lishman damaged us or forced us TO land.
The Bristol was coming closer and closer,
and We felt like bird on which vu
ture was going to pounce.
II said to my mechanic: Il think our
last hour has come He answered with
h laugh. Rather our last half-hour.' /
am sure that II the Englishman had any
bombs aboard | would not be here to
tell the tale, hut fortunately he had
none. He could not have missed us, as
owing to his clever steering he was about
30 yards over us.
In this trying situation the German Of
fcer, though expecting to be shot or
dashed to earth at any moment. did not |
lose his nerve. He handled his craft |
with cleverness and care. following every |
movement Of his adversary by a counter |
movement of his ship. These I can /
tell you were terrible moments" he |
said. I'VE fired our automatic revolvers |
at the enemy and he responded vigor- |
ously Our machine was hit several times, !
but not in vital parts. The wings show |
many revolver bullet holes.

The French aircraft reached 1000 feet in
no time and then began flying in con-
centric circles around US, always draw
ing nearer, and the three machines en-
gagged in an unprecedented duel, firing
revolvers continually.
our ammunition was nearly exhausted
when we heard energetic firing beneath
We had reached a German camp where
our terrible situation was speedily
realized. and our soldiers we're firing on
the two enemy flying machines in order
to cover our retreat and descent.

LETTER FROM GERMANY
TELLS OF SACRIFICES
Woman Whose Husband Fought in
Two Wars Ready to Yield Four Sons.

Two wars Ready TO Yield Four Sons.
An example of the sacrifices which the
Germans are reported to be making in
order that their arms may be ultimately
victorious is shown in a letter received
by Mrs. II. Hilbert Sl9 North Front
street.
The writer Of the letter Mrs. Franz
Eberhart. OF Reichenbach. Germany, is
the mother OF the Philadelphia woman,
and her husband is veteran OF two
German wars. She says in the letter to
her daughter that her father, who is
% years old. expects his four sons to
be called for service at any time and
has written 10 each of them, urging them
to go unfalteringly to the aid of the
Tatherland.
When the letter arrived at the Hilbert
home It was opened and appeared as
though it had not been sealed. It IS
the belief OF Mrs Hilbert that her
mother did not seal the letter because
she realized that it would be opened
and its contents scrutinized by the mill
tarv authorities.
Following is the letter in part, which
was mailed on September >:
There are no enemies on German soil,

and on the border Of Russia. Every das

CHESTS FULL,ALTHOUGH WAR
COSTS FIVE MILLION DAILY
Kaiser Not Worried Over Empires
Financial Condition.

COPENHAGEN, Sept IS.
An official dispatch from Berlin SAYS
that the response which the German
nation has made to the governments war
subscription of sl,25oOO0,oo has removed
all anxiety over the financial condition
Of the Empire.
According to German military authori-
ties, the war is costing Germany 900, 900
day inclusive of the money spent in
behalf Of families made dependent by the
absence of fathers and husbands at the
front.
The means Of the Government at the be-
ginning of the war, not counting the
permanent war treasure, but including the
reserve funds of the Rechsbank
amounted to about 25OC0OOO. 1t is
thought, therefore. that the money avail
able for the purposes Of carrying on war
can easily be increased by several bill
lion more marks If necessary.
