Our airmen, though hindered for several days by rain and

mist, have had a busy and successful week. The Naval Air Service on Monday and Tuesday dropped tons of bombs on the Ghent aero- dromes, the Bruges docks, and the railway atThourout, driving down two enemy machines which attempted to interfere, and sustaining no loss. The Flying Corps has made many similar raids on the enemy's communications, aerodromes, and munition dumps, drop- ping eix tons of bombs in one day. If we had more machines, the destructive power of our Air Service might be greatly increased. The enemy has retaliated by attacking our hospitals, just as he has bombed French hospitals near Verdun. In the course of an enemy air raidlast week, enemy bombs killed or wounded eighty German prisoners.
