AERIAL RECONNAISSANCE.
SUCCESSFUL WORK BY BRITISH
AIRMEN
VALUABLE INFORMATION
OBTAINED
London, July 7.
While a German statement reassures the German people that the attack was unsuccessful, and while there are no reports of heavy damage having been realised, the amount of information gathered by aerial reconnoitring over Heligoland and Kiel Canal will be most valuable to the Admiralty.
Some authorities assert that it is the most significant aerial success of the war. The party accomplished their pur- , pose and got away apparently without loss. It is quite probable that they dropped bombs and did considerable damage which the Germans will not admit.
German aircraft were sighted by the advancing British naval forces off Terschelling at dawn comprising several hydro-aeroplanes, accompanied, by cruisers and destroyers.
