Mr. Boner Law stated on Monday that General Trenchard had

accepted " the command of a very important part " of the British Air Force in France.

But General Trenchard has done the !Ott thing in accepting the work at last offered to him, and will, we trust, be allowed to use his brilliant gifts to the full.
