GREAT BRITAIN IS TIRED
OF GERMANYs AIR RAIDS
Steps Will Be Taken Not Only To
Stop the Raids, But to Damage the
Enemy.

London, June 19.-Replying to
series of questions in the house of
commons this afternoon as to wheth-
er the British government had decid-
ID upon reprisals for the German air
aid on England, Andrew Bonar Law,
members of the British war council
said the government intended to take
steps not only for damaging the enc
ny, but for preventing raids on Eng
land.
1t was q mistake, Mr. Bonar Law
said to assume that air raiding was
confined to the enemy. The British air
forces in France had raided German
communications and all important mill
AIRY detectives behind the lines. which
were of sufficient importance to justi-
ty such enterprises, With the increase
Of the British air forces and the i'm
provement of airplanes, raids against
detectives at longer range were be-
coming more practicable. The govern
ment was in consultation with France
and the military authorities at the
front as to the most effective means of
meeting the situation.
