GL|DES TO EARTH
British Aviators Barely Escape
With Lives After Dramatic
Midair Battle With
German Flyer.

London, June ga dramatic air
duel, in which a British aeroplane re-
connoitering Owe the Belgian town
of Poelcappellee at a height Of 1000
feet met and engaged a large German
biplane, which mad double engines and
propellers, is described by the eye wit
ness at the British army headquarters
l n a narrative made public today by
he official press bureau. He writes:
1.-THE German machine first circled
around ours, at the same time shooting
"a machine gun, but SO far as known
not inflicting any damage. Then our
observer fired so rounds in return at
a range Of less than 200 yards. 1t had
some effect. for the hostile biplane
was seen to waver and, after more
shots, it's engines stopped. The enemy
aeroplane then lived to a level Of 1000
feet, when it again flattened it's course,
flying slowly and erratically.
Under heavy anti-aircraft fire from
below. our pilot turned toward u line
to complete his reconnaissance. When
his machine was hit he decided to
make for home. The petrol tank had
been pierced and as the aeroplane
glided downwards IN a slant the petrol
was set alight by the exhaust and ran
blazing down the front Of the body, of
the aeroplane. The machine travelled
IN. The unused rounds OF machine
gun ammunition exploded In the heat
and the pilots loaded revolver was dis
charged.
1.-THE pilot, however, did not lose con-
troll n the aeroplane proceeded stead
lily on a downward course. Before it
had reached the ground a large part of
the frame work had been destroyed.
Even the hard wood blades Of the pro-
pellers vas 50 burned that the propeller
refused to act.
When the machine finally landed
back of our lines, both officers had beer
severely burned and the pilot, climb
Ing out of the blazing wreck, tripped
over a wire stay and sprained his
ankle. The few serviceable portions of
the ~aeroplane were then collected and
removed under the shrapnel Of the Ger
man guns"

RUSSIAN STAFF CLAIMS
ARMY CAN NOW HOLD OWN

Petrograd. June 2S, (via London.)-
Officers of he Russian general staff
now state that they have satisfactorily
achieved the ~regrouping Of their forces
necessitated by the German Galician
campaign and that they stand ready
effectively to oppose a further advance
Of the Austro-German forces in Galicia
or In southern Russia.
The Gnila Lipa river, to which the
Russian forces have retired flows
south from above Rohatyn, provides
admirable facilities for defense.
Fifteen miles further eastward the
Zelota Pipa, paralleling the sGnila Lipa,
the Russians believe, would offer ven
a stronger obstacle to the enemy, since
it is supported with a good railroad
line.
The most important point of the
present front is that portion of the
Vistula. just north OF the river SAN.
Here the Germans are attempting to
force the river and flank the Russian
positions along the Tanew, which have
successfully resisted frontal attack.
The Wooded approach to h river here
allows the Germans to conceal their
batteries, but up to Saturday no real
mans.
The Importance of this move is wen
recognized by the Russians, since, If
successful, it would unite h German
forces on both sides Of the Vistula river
with those operating on the Tanew
front.
German activity appea to be linz
tied at present to the Dniester and
Vistula rivers. In the regions of Lem
berg no serious fighting has been re-
ported.
