o'clock in the afternoon, and was wit
messed by the Dutch coast guards on the
Dutch island Schcrmonnikoog, in the
North Sea, off the province of FriesIand.
The weather was clear and the sea cain,
aud the destroyer could plainly be seen
cruising before the mouth of the Ems.
Suddenly the observers saw high column
Of water rise near the bow of the destroy

and sank in three minutes.
Shortly after the explosion the perIscOpe
of the submarine came above the surface
of the water for "A moment but as soon as

TWO MEET DEATH
IN MIDAIR FIGHT
Germans Killed in Aero Duel Wit
messed by Both Armies 10 Miles
from Rheims

BORDEAUX, Oct. 5. - In the long
series of exploits of French aviators in
the present war one of the finest IS that
by Sergeant Frantz and his mechanic,
Quenault, before the eyes, so to speak,
of the two armies ten miles northwest
of Rheims
\ German aeroplane of the Aviatic
type, having on Monday last flown
over the French lines, Frantz anu
Quenault gave chase, while it was re-
turning, in an aeropiane armed with a
machine gun. The enemy aeroplane
soon caught fire from shot and shell
near the French lines, both flyers be
ing burnt to death One had received
a bullet in the throat.
Frantz, who has already received a
military medal, has now received the
Legion Honneur. and Quenault has
been given a medal.
Official dispatches received by the
| French war department give a graphic
account of the duel.
The German aeroplane ascended with
two men, and after circling over the
/ French positions was returning to its
own lines. when Sergeant Frantz, one
of the most expert of French aviators,
accompanied by his mechanic, Quen-
ault, sprang to their machine.
BY a skilful maneuver the French
aeroplane took the German on tile
! flank, wounding the pilot and put a
bullet through the gasolenc tank.
A sheet of flame enveloped the Avi
attic. and the machine dropped rapidly
landing close to the French lines. II
the descent the unwounded man con
tinued to fire his pistol until prevented
by the flames.
Sergeant Frantz came to earth in Z
Iseries of magnificent spirals. Boil
Germaus were found burned to deatl
III the embers of their machines.

Ri 81 1EisD, MISS. OCI. :.
Four balloons started in the race
from this city late this forenoon under
the auspices of the Aero Club OF AmeIi-

William H. Richardson of Brattle

BASEBALL LEAGUE
TO MEET SUNDAY
Question of Continuing Next Season
and of Having Fewer Teams Will
Come Up for Discussion.

The Twin State baseball league will
hold its annual meeting in Bellows
Falls Sunday morning at 1890 clock.
when several questions relative to the
future of the league will be discussed.
One matter that will come up for con
sideration Will be to see whether the
league will be continued another year
or whether it Will be allowed to lapse
a year. In some parts of the circuit
there is a sentiment in favor of not
having a league next year, but Just how
extensive this sentiment is cannot be
stated. There is a feeling also that
four teams living within a short dis
tance of each other would be better
than six teams living far apart, and
this is another matter that will come
up at the annual meeting
Since the close of the Twin State
season the Brattleboro directors have
not met to discuss matters in a formal
way, but they may do so before the an-
nual meeting. Without committing
themselves positively they apepar to
favor continuing the league next year
and to reducing the number OF teams
to four. The Keene directors are un-
derstood to believe that four-team
league would be a better paving propo-
sition, with fewer games a week. The
believe that two games a week at home
would bring in about as much as three.
| The interest has appeared to be greater
with more than four teams.
| Brattleboro' s club is behind about
| 81 200. and whether it is voted to have
a team next season or not it is the in
tentiOn of the directors to clean up
the debt as soon as possible. \ meeting
| ef the subscribers will be called soon.
when steps will be taken toward work
ing out some plan for raising funds.

FALL OF ANTWERP
is THREATENED
Germans Have Broken Through Outer
Fortifications-Big Guns in Range
of the City Proper.

The fate of the Belgian army is Il
striking feature of the days war
news. Since the withdrawal of the
government from Brussels to Antwerp
the entire fighting force of the little
kingdom has been concentrated in the
latter city. The fall of Antwerp be-
fore German guns that reduced the
forts of Liege and Namur is gravely
threatened. Advices from neutral
sources confirm the heretofore disputed
German claims that they have broken
through the outer circle of fortifica-
tions, crossed the river Nethc and
brought their big guns within range
of the city proper. The Belgian gov
ernment has been transferred to Os-
tend.
The populace is fleeing into Holland
and flags of mercy are flying from the
steeples of the churches to Indicate
that these structures if spared will not
be utilized in the desperate defense
that the garrison is expected to make
If the city falls the Belgium army
will have the alternative, barring sur
render of attempting to fight its way
through German infested country in
order to affect iuncture with the al
lies or Of retreating into Holland,
there to be interned until the war
ends.
For days Antwerp has been holding
out in the hope that the left wing of
the allies would swing around in time
to save the city
Recent reports from the battle lime
have made it plain that help from this
source was extremely doubtful.
1t is believed that the bombardmcnt
| of Antwerp began today after de
mand for the surrender Of the city had
| been refused.
Little change on the battle line in
the north Of France is indicated in the
afternoon statement of the French wal
office.
According to the French statement

the front of East Prussia
