A despatch from London says: from out of the sky came a weapon that destroyed an undersea boat last week, recording in the annals of his- tory the first time that an aircraft sent a submarine to the bottom. Lieut.-Commander = Bigsworth won for himself the distinction of Having accomplished this feat. Single-hande- ed, while on an 'air patrol" near Os- tend, Belgium, he tackled a German U boat and within a few minutes his victim, completely = wrecked, ~sub- merged for the last time. "It. is not the practice of the Ad- miralty to publish statements regard- ing the losses of German submarines, important though they have been, in cases where the enemy has not other source of information as to the time and place at which these losses have occurred. In the case referred to above, how- ever, the brilliant feat of Squadron Commander Bigsworth was performed In the immediate neighborhood of the coast in occupation of the enemy, and the position of the sunken submarine has been located by a German de- stroyer."

A despatch - from Paris says: Sixty-two aeroplanes rose from be- hind' the French lines- into a' grey dawn recently, wheeled and manoeu- vred into four groups, and sped away |" towards Rhenish Prussia, It was the biggest and most formidable squadron of fliers that had ever set out 8s a body to bombard an enemy position. Saarlouis, over the heights of Del- lingen, a small town in Rhenish Prussia, was the objective, for at Saarlouis is a great German factory where shells and armor-plate are be- ing made. From the moment that the outfliers, the scouts, crossed the Ger- man front until the army of aerial invaders had returned the crack of anti'aircraft guns was incessant. ! The losses, if any, are not stated by the War Office, nor is the probable damage. But it is hoped and expect- ed here that the damage was: great, as it seems it must have been, from | inal, { the huge quantity of explosives car- ried by so many aeroplanes and drop- ped on a single target. This raid was duplicated by one of equal proportions against the wood of Monthulst, north of Ypres, in Bel- gium. In the squadron which sailed| forth there were 62 machines; but | they weré not all French. 'British and' Belgian aeroplanes participated.
