BRITISH RULE SKIES.
GERMANS TERRORISED.
GOOD SHOOTING AT LILLE.
[Australian and N.Z. Cable Attoclitlon.]
LONDOX, July 27.
A correspondent of the "Times'" at the front refers to the complete British mastery of the air. He writes: —"Wo are ruling the skies above the lines, and holding the enemy terrorised far. within his own territory. The British machines are constantly guarding German aerodromes, and preventing the airmen from coming out except during darkness or in the thickest weather. Our air supremacy is of incalculable value in this artillery war, in which observation counts for so much.".
British aviators did a fine piece of work in dropping bombs on a troop train near Lille, and killing over 200 soldiers.
