Another uneventful week has passed on the Western Front. In
one successful trench raid on the French front south of Leon American volunteers are reported to have played a useful part. While the troops are apparently inactive, the airmen show ever- increasing energy. The Air Ministry states that between February 1st and 22nd on the Western Front the Royal Flying Corps destroyed seventy-five enemy aircraft, while six others were shot down from the ground ; our losses were twenty-eight. On the Italian Front we have destroyed fifty-eight enemy machines, losing eight of our own. Troves was again bombed on Tuesday night ; the gasworks and railway station were repeatedly hit. The Italian airmen have begun to attack towns far behind the enemy's lines. Last week they dropped bombs on Innsbruck, and on Tuesday they made a raid on Bozen.
