An October 18th more than

the actual transportation of
such a ponderous and unusual
object serves to illustrate very
wildly the lifting power of the
latest bombing planes.
1t is said that during the
past three months the airplanes
of the allies have made 249
raids on the principal German
war industries in the Rhine
valley and have dropped about
PAT tons of bombs on Strategic
points. These raids have not
only resulted in the destruc-
ton of many nunition plants,
poison gas fac tories railway
trains, etc. But they have had
a widespread effectsin demor-
alizing the. morale of the Ger
man army and people, and as
I a. result, it is said that large
numbers of public meetings are
being held in German cities
near the border demanding
that all~aeEial warfare shall
cease. Thus Germany seems
to be getting stern retribution
for her ruthless air raids on
English and French cities.
