Air Raiders Lose Machine.
LONDON, October 1.-THE British
aviators, who, on Friday last, made a
successful flight to Dusseldorf and
destroyed Zeppelin, lost their ma
chimes after they returned to Ant
werp. it is stated. They landed be-
tween the outer and inner ring of
forts just as the German artillery
commenced firing. The ma chimes
which were in the open, were blown
to pieces, but the aviators escl lped in
an armored motor car.
The English aeroplanes have proved
to be more than equal to those of the
Germans" says the Paris correspond
ent of the Times.
Especial success has been scored
with the new type of English aero
plane called the chaser which is capa-
BILE of developing a speed Of $50 miles
an hour and can rise from the ground
at a very sharp angle.
Loop-the-Loop Barred.
"The German anti-airship guns are so
effective that it is unwise for the Brit
ish or French aviators to fly lower
than 6,O0O feet from the ground. The
Germans are using a new type of bomb
which when it explodes leaves a smoke
cloud that hangs in the air for several
minutes. thus enabling the Germans to
get the range of a hostile aeroplane
very quickly and accurately.
AN airman when under fire has to
keep up continual glides. sharp turns
and evo1utions in order to prevent the
enemy from getting an accurate aim

Three Killed; Fourteen Injured.
A score of bombs launched on differ
ent quarters of Paris by two German
aviators yesterday killed three civil
lans and injured fourteen others, sew
eral of whom were women and chill
dren. The damage done to property
was small. The airmen appeared soon
after noon. One began the attack by
dropping a bomb near the northern
railway terminal. another in Rue st.
Lazare and third, which landed at
the rear of the Cathedral of Notre
Dame. Three more bombs were hurled
by the same airman in the vicinity of
the bourse. A house was set on fire
but the loss was not great. One of
these missiles struck within 100 yards
OF an office occupied by American
newspapermen.
The second aeroplane also flew over
the cathedral. dropping four bombs,
one of which lighted on the roof of the
church. but failed to explode. A Sec
ond fell in the square where the bish-
ops residence is located. A third
struck the parapet of the Quai de
Bourbon and glanced off into the Seine.
The fourth disappeared in the Seine

aimed at CaCneQral.
The second Taube appeared to aim at
the cathedral, while the other machine
attempted to hit the northern and St
Lizare stations.
Altogether twenty bombs fell. The
Germans flew at a very low altitude.
After they apparently had exhausted
their supply of missiles French aero
planes ascended and pursued them to-
ward the east.
The bomb which fell on the Cathed-
raj of Notre Dame was filled with an
inflammable substance as a joist on
the roof caught fire quickly. The
flames were extinguished, however.

ELECTRIC PROPULSION
FOR U. S. DREADNOUGHT
Project Favored by Naval Engi
neers in Constructing Vessel at
New York Navy Yard.

The proposition Of the New York navy
yard to make the United States Navy a
pioneer in the development Of the bat
tleship- by being the first nation to
build a great dreadnought with a sys-
tenn of electric propulsion is receiving
strong support from naval engineers.
Secretary Daniels is looking upon the
proposition with favor and is keeping
the way open for the innovation by
having the work of construction Of the
battleship which the New York yard is
about to build 30 conducted as to admit
Of the adoption Of the electric drive
If it shall finally be determined to in
stall that system of propulsion.
Develops Advantages.
First developed and tried by the navy
on the $4,000 ton collier Jupiter, the
electric drive has shown many advan-
tages, economic and otherwise, among
which are the ability to have a dupli-
cate plant, enabling the vessel to keep
under way while repairs are being
made to one or the other motors or tur-
bines; great economy in coal consump-
ton: ability to change instantly from
high to low speed; the ELIMINATE of
dangerous racing" of the propellors in
heavy seas; saving In space and weight
of machinery. and great reduction in
repairs and cost Of upkeep.

MODERN FORTS futile
AGAINST BIG GUNS
Military Experts Draw Lesson From
Easy Capture Of Antwerp
by Germans.

PARIS, France, October 1.-THE mill
tary consequences of the fall of Ant
werp are not as great as the lesson to
be learned therefrom of the futility Of
permanent Notifications. This opinion
is expressed by Lieut.. Col. Rousset,
who says it will be necessary to aban-
don entirely this sort Of defense and
replace it with rude works of eas sy and
quick construction, which can be
placed anywhere, according to the need
of the hour.
Then, he says, shells, because Of the
absence of resistance, would cause only
small damage. Never, he declares. has
a country been saved by it's fortifica-
tions, while there are those whose fort
resses have been their ruin.
Harks Back to 1870.
Col. Rousset continues:
ITO speak only of that which con-
Germs US, it is permissible to affirm
that if Metz had been in 1870 an open
city Bazaine would not have sent forth
from there his magnificent army for
the subsequent loss of which he was
condemned to death and did actually
suffer Imprisonment.
Belgium believed itself protected by
its triple barrier of Liege, Namur and
Antwerp. Alas. it was not. No more
are we with Maubeuge or the Aus
trians with Lemberg and Przemysl.
The real safeguard of a nation is an
effective military force that can stay
an army of invasion"
The observations of Rousset, which
were published yesterday have aroused
| special interest in view of the possi-
| bility of heavy siege operations later
| in the campaign.

operations as related to fortified posi-
