NUMEROUS BRITISH RAIDS.

LONDON, Aug. 3. ■ The Admiralty reports: Our Adriatic '■ 'formation co-operated with the Italian -air forces in the recent raids at Cattaro and Durazzo and the land operations at Valona. We raided two bridges -and stations on the Oriental railway, r damaging the line, roiling stock, and buildings. In other raids we sank one and damaged two barques northward of Imbros. We bombed a new aerodrome ■' at Uzun'keufri and twice raided Nagaena and Galata, on July 26 and 28, fires. We successfully bombed the basin and dockyard at Constantinople. Further reports state* that 15 tons ol bombs were dropped, on Zeebrugge and I Bruges docks and Ostend. We also bombed enemy shipping in the same waters, directly hitting a destroyer with two 301b bombs, causing columns of smoke to arise. Between July 26th and 31st we destroyed 15 aeroplanes and shot down 12 uncontrollable. Five British (whereof one landed in Holland) have not returned. A British seaplane was shot down aflame, and two of the crew were drowned. —Aus.-N.Z. C.A. and Reuter.
