There has been a lull on the Western front. It

is sure to be succeeded by another storm, but this week there is little to record measured by the standards with which the titanic fighting in France has made us familiar. One fact, however, must be mentioned. Our flying men have done exceedingly well. Last Sunday, for instance, the Germans lost thirteen aeroplanes and ten others were driven down out of control. Only three of our machines did not return that day. The Germans would like nothing better of course than to succeed with the obvious military device of diverting our attention from this great struggle for supremacy in the air at the front now going decisively in our favour. Air raids on this country are the Primary means of trying to divert our attention.
