CAUSE OF HEAVY CASUALTIES.

LONDON, April S
Correspondents at the British headquarters insist on the seriousness of aerial casualties, but say people must not exaggerate them. A vigorous air offensive is essential if the artillery is to continue to do its best. Germany's service has-been reorganised since the battle of the Somme. It displays real initiative in bad weather only, when able to hide in the clouds. There have been many Allied casualties forty miles behind the firing line, but practically no Germans have been downed on the British front. The Britishers are confident that when the weather is settled, they, will be able to so punish the Germans that they will practically command the air as during the Somme' fighting.
