HAWK AMONG DOVES.
PARIS BY JOINING FRENCH SQUADRON.
One recent Gotha raid on Par s was (says an Exchange Paris wire) an individual enterprise. Above his own lines a German aviator seems to have got near a French squadron which dropped twenty-six ! tons of explosives on military objec!'tires.
When the raiders turned home he apapproached them as-nearly as possible so that the Sound of his motor should be confounded l with that of our machines. Then he made a bend towards the south-east, and soon was over Paris.
As Jii® machine quitted, the French squadron it was recognised and the warning given by the listening post, but, the time taken to give Paris the alarm was exactly the same-as was required! by the Gotha to reach the city.
