AERIAL ATTACK FOILED
ARTIFICIAL FOG SHROUD' EXPERIMENT IN FRANCE (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Copyright.) PARIS, Nov. 17. Remarkable experiments in defence against aerial attacks were made at Pas-de-Calais to-day. Maroons at 3 o’clock warned the inhabitants of a coming air attack upon the powder magazines at Esquerdes, whereupon all the inhabitants took refuge in bombproof shelters; meanwhile the defending troops operated machines on the ground shooting columns, of smoke into Die air. The town in four minutes 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 will probably be armed with fog-shrouding machines.
