GERMAN AVIATOR DESCRIBES BATTLE IN THE AIR OVER HOSTILE ARMY By RAYMOND E. SWING. hero has stepped out of H. G. "The War of the in the person of Feldwebel Werner, one of the hundreds of German aeronauts, who has the distinction of being one of the first Germans to fly over Paris and to fight a remarkable battle In the air with two of the aeroplanes.

He was a passenger for a short distance In the special car put at the disposal of correspondents on their way to Liege and told us a graphic story of his experiences. first assignment was to find the English army near Mona. The army was about 100,000 strong and was retiring before a German force of double its strength. Where Were French Aviators? Here, at the start, one wonders how the French could have allowed their allies to be so misled about the strength of the opposing forces. Where were the French aviators? I know of a man who had been over the field and who told the war office in France that at least 200,000 Germans were In the flanking army advancing through Belgium, but he was told: "Impossible! There Is only The French were completely outwitted by this flank movement.

The flower of their army was at the Alsace frontier. Their mistake will cost them Paris. At Mons the English forces took up a strong position, filling houses at the edge of the city with troops and machine guns and covering the road of the advancing German troops. When the enemy approached they directed a terrific fire upon them and could be dislodged only at heavy cost. They then retired to a position behind great mountains of slag behind the city, where the Germans were unable to dislodge them with howitzer fire.

Flyer Watches the Battle. Again, they could be driven back only by flanking movements from both sides. This time our flyer, who watched this battle, told us the English retired hastily along the road In the direction of Le Cateau. English have reached their new position said a London report in Its account of this retreat. "And out of added a correspondent on reading the dispatch.

The fighting at Mons was furious and the Germans were enraged by the British method of fighting, which throughout at Mons was done under cover. Never had German soldiers fought with such frenzy as against tills foe. Attacked by Two Airships. When the enemy retired Airman Werner was assigned to the duty of following and discovering their new position. He found the army near Le Cateau.

where, at the edge of a wood, he saw them taking up a strong position In a semi-circle before the forest. While watching these operations from a height of 1,700 yards Werner suddenly saw a double-decker Bristol aeroplane coming down on him from the clouds. The Bristol Is a faster but a less sure machine than the Taube which Werner was piloting. There was no safety in running away: the Bristol could overtake him. He could not alight, as the English were underneath.

There was nothing to do but to face the worst and to fly gradually lower and lower In the direction of the German army. As the Bristol came nearer Werner espied a second aeroplane, a little Blerlot, another swift flier, also bearing down on him. Revolver Battle In Air. The Bristol drew closer and closer flying down upon Werner In large circles, gradually getting within range. With one hand on the wheel the German officer drew out his revolver and emptied his magazine at the approaching foe.

But the Bristol continued, coming always nearer. "When they get over me they will drop a thought Werner, and felt most uncomfortable. His observer reloaded Werner's revolver and both kept on firing. But the Bristol kept always coming closer In Its circles, firing constantly on the German monoplane. The Bleriot had come close enough to fire also and bullets punctured the wings of the German machine at intervals of seconds only.

There was no sound reaching the Germans except that of their own motors. They only knew the English ind French pilots were shooting from the vivid flashes from their revolvers. But no bombs fell; It was evident that the English and French were not carrying them. Escaped to the German Army- Firing continued as Werner descended gradually, reducing Ills elevaion from 1,700 yards to 850, always closer to the German army. Avery moment lie fcced the risk of being wounded or of a bullet striking lls steering apparatus.

For hours, It seemed to him, the conflict continued until he saw the German army In the distance. He then sent his car rapidly downward and descended beside his army. The Bristol and the Blerlot retired hastily. The battle had covered seventy-five miles. On descending Werner found hie plane riddlfed with bullets, but he patched up the punctures and later witnessed the battle of Le Caleau over the position that he had discovered.

Here again the English, after plucky resistance, were driven back. The Germans attacked with two flanking movements and a storming advance against the middle of the English position, and through main strength and the extraordinary spirit of the attack, forced the enemy back. The army of 100,000 had in a few days been reduced to 3Q.000. Drops Bombs on Paris. Later on Werner was Instructed to fly over Paris.

Here he dropped several bombs, some with good effect, though others did not explode. He carried two kinds of bombs, one a round shell about the size of a baseball and weighing 1.1 pounds, the other shaped like a small artillery shell and weighing 114 pounds. These latter, when they exploded, were powerful enough to tear up paved streets and wreck koines. Werner also told 3f dropping notes Into Paris, calling the French such hated names as The flyers are the only men who really are seeing this war. They have the enemy's position under them and can study it to their content.

Only a lucky shot can dislodge them, and their chief danger is from the attacking aviators. The German scouts usually fly at a height of 1,700 yards. On dark days they fly at the edge of the clouds and slip In and out for observation from this excellent screen. Accurate Aim at 2,000 Yards. Extraordinary stories about Zeppelins are to be heard in Germany, some of which are almost Incredible.

One account is of the method used by Zeppelins in throwing bombs. A recent invention, I am told, permits a Zeppelin, when there are clouds, to fly high and unseen from the ground and to let down a basket containing a man, who then, by telephone, signals the airship what position to take. In cloudless times the bombs are dropped from an apparatus hung directly below the airship, the bombs being hung on two Angers. When the position of the target is determined, the fingers open and the bomb falls. These bombs are said to be twelve Inches in diameter and two feet long.

The damage they can do is terrific. Houses in the neighborhood of the explosion collapse as though made of cards, and they can tear up streets for a distance of scores of yards. Zeppelins to Attack Fleet. I am told that practically all Zeppelins have retired from active assistance in taking fortifications and are centered around the North sea, where they are to assist in an attack on the British fleet. The outcome of such a battle will be highly Important, for It will determine whether a dirigible can measure up against a warship.

If it can, the German fleet will not be badly outnumbered In the conflict about to take place, for the British fleet is insufficiently supplied with balloon guns, as only a few of these are in existence. We hear, too, remarkable stories about the number of Zeppelins. At the outbreak of the war there were twenty-two on record. Today the report of their number varies from fifty-six to ninety. Material for Zeppelins is said to have been stored at points throughout the empire, where it could be put together in a few days, and this scheme has added Zeppelins to the air fleet at the rate of two a week.

This story is Improbable, for the German army does not possess a sufficient number of men trained in operating dirigibles. Differ on Bomb-Hurling Ethics. The German aeroplanes have done excellent service. There are several hundred machines in operation, and comparatively few have been shot down. I know of one young man.

a son of one of Germany's most prominent men, who flew to Paris early in the war. He was fired on repeatedly, and each time descended gradually to a prearranged depot, whence, after the enemy believed him to have been killed, he continued his trip. When asked if he had thrown bombs on Tarls, he answered simply: I carry bombs." This would indicate that there may be a difference of opinion in the army itself as to the ethics of bomb throwing. The astounding advance of the Germans has been analyzed by a military expert, who says that it is duo to four points; heavy artillery, aviators, field kitchens and pedestrian feats of large troop groups. The first two points are now generally recognized..
