The general lessons to be drawn from the exercises of the week have hot been oficially communicated to the public; but it is stated on the Buthority of some expert observers that London is open to attack despite the extent and efficiency of the defensive measures in existence. If the recent "warfare" had been teal, we are informed, the City would by this time have been partially in ruins.

NEW -POTATOES FOR CHRISTMAS

The Buckinghamshire Christmas Potato Society, of which the late Marquess of Lincolnshire was the first and only president has been dissolved.

Although hundreds of machines were in the air, and in the aggregate many thousands of hours of flying took place, bo untoward incident beyond that of the Biskin machine already mentioned was recorded. The coun- try has every reason to be proud of the Royal Air Force.
