 BROUGHT DOWN
Associated Fress)

LONDON, Dec 29.-Intense aerial activity is reported by General Haig in his official statement tonight. The war office is advised that thirteen German airplanes were brought down by British flyers, while only three British machines failed to return to their bases.
 The air battles began early this morning and continued throughout the day. They were especially mum rrous near Lille, where the British machines were engaged in bombing tierman lines and depots. Hundreds of bombs were dropped on three aero dromes by the English aviators, and TWO of them were completely de stroyed, while the third one was badly damaged.
 Swarms of German planes rose from the ground to drive off the bombing machines. These in turn were reinforced by speedy battle craft from the British lines. and the German flyers were routed with the loss of thirteen planes.
