Lo>i)ON*, April 3.
The correspondent of the London Times at British headquarters on the western front states that a British aeroplano recently crossed the enemy trenches at & height of between 1000 ft and 2000 ft. Tho flying man's daring drew a perfect hailstorm of enemy shells. The pilot disregarded the fusillade and circled around the enemy trenches, lingering over hostile territory for 10 minutes at a height never greater than 2000 ft. Returning home, he was greeted with a storm of cheers for his gallantry.
