NEWS OF THE W LEK.

THE latest and best news of the week is that Flight-Com- mander Hewlett is safe and well. Friday's papers announce that the gallant officer was picked up by a Dutch trawler and has been taken to Holland. Happily the con- ditions under which he was rescued do not require his intern- ment, and his country will therefore again have the use of his services—and very valuable services they are. Flight- Commander Hewlett's lose was the only shadow on the Cuxhaven raid, and since that has passed away we may now enjoy this remarkable triumph of naval daring, naval skill, and naval intelligence without a scintilla of regret.
