PROTECTIVE FOG
Defence Against Attack by Aircraft TOWN QUICKLY HIDDEN \ (By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright.’ (Received Nov. 18, 8.15 p.m.) Paris, Nov. 17. Remarkable experiments in defence against aerial attacks have been carried out at Pas-de-Calais. Maroons at 3 o’clock warned the inhabitants of a coming air attack upon powder magazines at Esquerdes, whereupon all the Inhabitants took refuge in bomb-proof shelters. Meanwhile the defending troops operated machines on the ground, shooting columns of smoke into the air. In four minutes the town was covered with a protective fog so dense that the attacking airmen were unable to see their targets.
The experiment was so successful that all-important Industrial centres in Northern France are likely to be armed with fog-shrouding machines.
