The question OF Austria's fate is be-

And these breaches will never
again be repaired. The idea that the
national blood which has broken
down all dams will sink back to its

hopeless Utopia. Either the rationale

the longing Of all nations for inde-

LONDON FREE

Boche Bombers Are Being

London. Eng, Oct. 30 Correspond

four months London has enjoyed i'm
munity from hostile air raids and
moonlight nights are no longer dread
ed by its inhabitants. For many
weeks German airmen have had far
more urgent business to attend to on
the other side of the channel Much
Of this is due to the persistent raid
ing Of Rhine towns and the bombing
Of German airdromes. These attacks
compel the enemy to muster for their
defence machines which they can very

allied supremacy in the air becomes
increasingly manifest
The frequent raids on German
towns have been fully recorded but
the growing frequency Of attacks on
German airdromes have received
much less attention From informa-
ton obtained from the war ministry
IL is learned that in the month OF Al
gust alone there were 80 attacks on
German airdrOmes. 10 Of which We're
directed against two Of them which
become particularly obnoxious as

Many Of the night raids have been

five tons Of bombs were dropped,
seven direct hits on hangers were
made and a fire was started On an
other raid eight tons Of bombs were
dropped. several hangers completely
burnt out, and the airdrome covered
