Enemy airmen made a rajd on the Kentish coast lest

Saturday evening. The first group wr.s repulsed by gunfire ; one machine was brought down, and its crew of three was captured. A second group, coming three hours later, dropped a few bonds, but was unable to penetrate far inland. Our naval airmen, for their part, have made repeated raids on the docks and aerodromes in Flanders. On Christmas Eve, in daylight, a British air squadron dropped a ton of bombs on Mannheim, over a hundred miles from the French outposts in the Vosges. They hit the station, aomo munition works, and the town, and, though received by a heavy barrage, all save one returned. Mannheim is the most distant place attacked since our new air campaign against German towns v as begun.
