THE RAID ON LONDON.
Another serious air raid has been mado 'upon London. The enemy has recently constructed machines which ascend to an enormous height, and are beyond the range of anti-air-craft. All the genius in the world cannot prevent them from conducting these raids. The best that can be done is to endeavour to drive.them off beforo they have had an opportunity of inflicting a maximum amount of damage. On the present occasion it is satisfactory to know that at least one of tho enemy machines was brought down. It may bo mentioned that , Allied aircraft has recently been bombing Mannheim and other German centres, with good results. The only way to bring home to the Teutonic mind the hideousnoss of the aerial warfare methods,employed, is to give tho Germans a taste of their own medicine. We may depend upon it that the latest raid will be followed by sharp reprisals.
