(Canadian Press Despateh) Mudros, Island of Lemnons, Nov. 14.--Nine British airplanes landed at Galata, a suburb of Constantinople, two days after the signing of the Turkish armistice (Oct. 31st), The first Aled officer to reach European- Turkish soil was Flight Commander Henry Wiser, who is a Canadian.
