The Royal Flying Corps, without intermitting its work on our

immediate battle-front, mate a successful raid into Germany on Wednesday afternoon. Our airmen attacked a factory to the west of Saarbrilcken, forty miles within the German frontier, and set it on fire. All our machines returned safely. Raids of this kind, directed against military Objectives, cannot Im made too often, provided always that the Flying Corps has the machines to spare without neglecting its duty to the Army. Our military airmen braved the storms of Friday week to help the guns and the infantry, and turned their maohine-guns on the enemy's troops in their trenches. Ten of them were lost on that one day, mainly owing to the wild weather, but their courage and skill were in- valuable to the attack.
