GERMANY'S AERIAL ANXIETY,

London, October 17... The following facts which have come to the knowledge of the French Staff illustrate the vital importance of air supremacy to the Allies: Germany is training every. nerve in anticipation that America's new air squadrons with the Allies will spring an air offensive. The number of Ger- man battleplanes is being doubled during the winter and the motor building factories throughout Germany are enlarging their plants and reinforcing their labour. Twenty-nine im- portant new factories have been created between February" and August. Largo orders are being placed in Switzer- land. Quantities of three seater 200 borse power bomb- ing machines are being built capable of carrying 18 cwt. of bombs and climbing to 12,000 feet in 35 minutes New models of every type are being "ferecishly produced. "This includes a new machine, all metal, for co-operation with the infantry. A big German bombing machine recently- landed in Holland fitted with electric installation for the purpose of warming the aviator, Sunultaneously the Germans are greatly augmenting the personnel of the air services, expediting and encouraging transfers to it. A captured Order by General Lad- endorff states that the Allies are employing aeroplanes econ- onically with a view to great battles in the future. Ho says We should be wrong to overwork and wear out our air formations, which are inferior in "numbers. The infantry must be told that it is impossible to prevent the enemy from firing over our lines. The airmen must be used sparingly in calm times in order that Germany may have as many machines ne possible for great emergencies.

THE OPERATIONS ÎN FLANDERS.

Terrible Condition of the Ground.

London, October 18. Reuter's correspondent at Headquarters says: The con- dition of the ground has become the chief trouble in Flex- ders. Not merely is No Man's Land a morass, but the ground behind for some thousand yards is either a swamp or shell-centers brimlet of ooze. Hence the superhuman difficulty of bringing up guns and munitions and demonstrat- ing our superiority. The drying winds recently have come too late to connteract the mischief done by the torrential rains of last week, for when 'once' Flanders is mud and water- Jogged at this season it can never get hard again through- out the Winter. The position of the British is however. satisfactory, as compared with past Winters, for we have got the Germans in the mud-flats with a prospect of wintering under colossal artillery fire.

Good Aerial Work,

London, October, 17. Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig reports: There is con- siderable activity by hostile artillery north-eastward of Ypres and on the coast sector. The activity of our artillery on the battle front continues,

9

In referring to aviation Field Marshal Sir Donglas Kaig says: British aeroplanes carried out a very successful raid this afternoon on German territory. We attacked a factory westward of Saarbrucken, 40 miles beyond the German frontier and dropped many bombs with good effect. Fires broke out at the factory. All the machines returned. Many bomb were dropped yesterday on billets and trenches. We brought down three Ģerman murbines, and one of ours is missing.

The Admiralty reports that naval aircraft carried out patrols yesterday and encountered several enemy forms- tions. One enemy seaplane was brought down and two other hostile machines were probably destroyed.

A French communique reports lively artillery actiona particularly in the region of the Plateau d'Ailles and on.. the right of the Meuse.

Driving in the Wedge.

Washington October 18. The official weekly war 'review draws attention to the French successes in the neighbourhood of Houthulstwood, and says that it has given the Allied advance in Flanders the needed elbowroom. The character of the Ypres salient, which was formerly too narrow for large masses of troops, has been completely changed. It is no longer a salient but an ever extending wedg“, progressively driven into the German lines.

OERMANY'S SEPARATE PEACE PLANS,

Paris, October 17.

In connection with the official German denial of M. Ribot's statement of 12th October that Germany proposed to France a separate peace on the basis of the restitution z of Alsace-Lorraine, the "Matin" also states that Germany through & neutral Power offered Britain a completely satis- factory settlement of the Belgian question with the sseur- →ance that the question of Alsace-Lorraine would easily be settled with France, also that the German Minister at Stockholm, making unreasonable demands on Russia, „id- formed ber that France and Britain were prepared to con- clude a separate peace, while the German Minister at .- Christiania” assured Russia that a Franco-German entente would be concluded before the winter. The "Malia" pro- ceeds to ask Germany why she maintains an army of official agents, including prelates, in Switzerland.

"OUR DAY" CON RIBUTIONS.

London, Outabar 17

His Majesty the King has donated £10,000 to "Our Day." The Queen has given £1,000 and the Prince of Wale, £3,000. Last year's contributions were: His Majesty £5,000; the Prince of Wales 21,000. The American Red Cross bus donated £800,000.

SEIZURE OF SWEDISH DIPLOMATIC POUCHES.

New York, October 17. Although no officísi statements are forthcoming Wash- ington correspondents persist in a story that the Dwedish Minister has made representations to the titate Depart- ment to endeavour to secure the release of Swedish diplo- matic mail pouches alleged to have been acized at Halifax and now being held by the British Embassy at Washington with seala intact. *

"

The correspondents aver that the Embassy does not. desire to inspect the contents of the pouches, but merely desires a guarantee from the Swedish Government that they contain nothing unneutral.

The "New York Times" states that, at the request of the State Department, the Swedish Minister has undertaken to cable to Stockholm and endeavour to secure a guarantee.

OUR OFFICER CASUALTIES.

Lundon. October 17.

The War Office in reply to an allegation- in Swedish newspapers that British officer casualties averaged 511 daily. in August, declares that they averaged 183: daily in August ́and -106. daily in September. The highest daily average - was 302 in July, 1816. The above figures include the slightest" casualties.
