London. Sept. 2i.-The achievements
of the British air forces in the past
week have been among the most re-
markable of the war. sixty ions OF
bombs were dropped on German terri

These long, distance raids have been
directed chiefly against poison gas and
alrplane factories at Mannheim. the
Daimler works at Stuttgart. the railway
station at Frankfort and the docks and
siaings at karlsruhe. Their destructive
effect is shown by photographs.
Aerial assaults over the battlefield
have been numerous In conjunction
with the Franco American offensive.
thirty-five separate raids were made
between September IL and l6 against
important enemy airtlromes and vital
railway functions. Thirteen of them
were against the Metz, Sablon Railroad.
Altogether British airmen have dropped
l2O tons of bombs OH the western battle

of the explosives dropped in Germany
Nineteen tons were dropped on Bruges,
Dstend and other German coastal de-
fenses in air fighting. during which sew
enteen enemy machines were destroyed
and nine disabled. while five British
planes were lost. The number of Ger
man machines destroyed altogether in
the week was l01. while thirty-seven
