London, June ga death duel be-

in the air just outside OF Brussels
early in the morning. The battle,
which is regarded as one OF the most
thrilling In all the history Of war
fare, came to an end when the Ger,
man monster of the sky was sent
crashing upon convent, 5000 feet

Z knowing he had little chance to COM
bat the larger guns carried by the
giant Zeppelin, Lieutenant Warneford,
by masterful maneuvering, kept out
OF range and gained a position Of
about six hundred feet above the
dirigible. Then the monoplane, Just
as the morning sun came out Of the
east, dropped six bombs, apparently
releasing them simultaneously. 4,

and the German machine, with thirty
two on board, swayed for an instant.
then shot downward to the ground
at q tremendous rate and almost
crashed through the roof Of q convent.
But the victorious monoplane al
most met with the same fate. So
great was the force of the explosion
that the smaller craft was tossed up
ward over one hundred feet and turned
gigantic somersault. The monoplane
turned upside down and began to drop.
Just in, time the aviator, pulling him
