DESTROYS GERMAN BALLOON.
French Aviator Performs Brilliant
 Feat in Champagne Region.

fSftD INcS1On.
 Paris. Oct. 12, 5:15 a. m.-The de- structfon by Lieutenant - of the aviation corps, in the Champagne region of a German captive balloon of the type known as Sausage" which has been mentioned in a French official statement, is declared to have been particularly brilliant and diff- cult feat for these balloons always are carefully guarded.
 Determined to get rid of this par ticular balloon, by means of which the Germans had been enabled to ob- tain valuable information regarding the movements of French troops, Lieutenant - experimented for two months with fire balls. When he was convinced he had an explosive which met all his requirements he started out for the attack on the balloon. The aeroplanes guarding the balloon, moored fifteen miles behind the Ger man lines were so vigilant the lieu tenant had to try four times before he could rise above it. On the fourth at tempt he swooped down from height of 10000 feet and placed his missiles accurately before the balloon could be hauled down. In dropping his fire bombs the Frenchman came near enough to the earth to be in full range of German anti-aircraft guns, but he managed to rise safely and escaped from a perfect hurricane of bursting shrapnel.

 Lean industrial years criticisms of packing house conditions and the re- cent outbreak of foot and mouth dis ease, he asserted had contributed to a lesser meat diet and had kept the balance between production and de- mand even though fewer cattle are available.
 More economical management of livestock production was advocated by the speaker who also dwelt on the necessity of eradicating the foot and mouth disease and adopting restrict i've measures in combating the spread of tuberculosis in live stock herds.
 Methods of utilizing waste fats in packing houses were discussed by Maurice Loeb, who insisted that a scientific test of all waste materials was a necessity for economic opera tion of packing plants.
