BRITISH WAR-BIRDS BOMBARD OSTEND AND ZEEBRUGGE.

•'ortv British aircraft —forty wards —swept down the Channel on Feo. and bombarded Ostond, Middei•ko Ghistellos and Zeohrugge. The rmans wore taken entirely by snrise. At both Ostend and Zeehruggc e commodious harbours capable of loitering unite a fleet of vessels, and ie enemy bad not failed to take adantngc of the fact. It is impossible to ay precisely the extent of the damage

that the Germans suffered, but i,d is known that their submarine base at Zeehruggc sullevod severely. All t-ho aviators returned safely, though FlightCommander Grahame Wbite, the wellknown aviator, fell into the sea on his return journey. This event is likely to become historic as the first occasion in the history of war upon which so many aeroplanes have been used in attack.
