AERIAL FIGHT BETWEEN LARGE SQUADRONS
TERROR IN GERMANY AT ALLIED RAIDS. LONDON, April 5. Sir Douglas Haig's report on aviation states:—Several flights were made to-day, despite the unfavourable weather. A light occurred during a clear interval between two very large formations. We brought down 12 enemy machines. Five of ours are missing.—(A. and N.Z. and Reuter.) The Austrian paper "Les Nouvells" learns that in the latest Allied air raid on Coblentz, 26 people were killed aud hundreds injured, while enormous damage was done to the railway station. In the last raid but one on Treves, 60 were killed and hundreds injured. The railway station was greatly damaged, and numerous streets in the vicinity are now only heaps of ruins. Last week's raid on Cologne was equally successful. Carriages of a troop train at the station were blown to atoms, and many of the occupants killed or injured. The terror in Germany is indescribable.—(Reuter.)
