BOMBS WERE DROPPED
BY FRENCH AVIATORS
Made a Dash Verdum And Think They
Were Successful in Destroying
Dirigible Shed.

PARIS (4.10 p. M, August l6. =
Details of a daring exploit at Metz car
ried out by French military aviators
were given out today in an official com
munication issued by the war office,
which says:
At half past five on Friday evening
Lieut.. CESAR and Corp. Prudhomme,
flying in separate aeroplanes, left the
French fortress of Verdun, with orders
TO reconnoiter and if possible, destroy
the diri2ible balloon shed in the Ger
man fortress at Metz.
. Lieut.. CESAR flew over the fortress
ut a height of nearly 5000 feet, while
Corp. Prudhomme, at the lower alti-
tude, of about $500 feet.
terrific fire was directed on the
two aviators from the fortress garrison.
and during the fusillade the motor of
the lieutenant 5 aeroplane stopped. As
he did not wish to fail in his mission.
he began to volplane, and while doing
this, threw a bomb with marvellous
GOODNESS. Shortly afterward he sue
ceeded in getting his motor started
again.
In the meanwhile the corporal had
hurled his projectile also.
The smoke over the eitv prevented
the aviators seeing whether they had
been successful, but they believed they
had achieved their purpose and flew
away amid rain of shells from quick
firing guns. They returned safely to
Nerdun.
