London. Nov 1o--The last twenty

were shot TO earth in the course of the
day. This number may be greatly in
creased--in fact may reach the great
total of forty-nine. but it is believed
that the French and British reports
cover the same ground in part and for
this reason the loxer estimate is made.

destruction of ten German machines.
Berlin on tho other hand, announces
that seventeen allied aeroplanes were
