WAR IN THE AIR.
THE ATTACKS ON GERMANY.
(By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association*) LONDON, January 1. A despatch from Major-General Trenchard, commanding the Independent Air Force, explaining the policy of attacks on Germany, says that the alternatives were either sustained attacks on one large centre after another, until each was destroyed, or to attack as many industrial centres as possible. The latter plan was adopted, because our forces were insufficient to carry out the former which, even with greater forces, would have taken another five years to execute. General Trenchard incidentally mentions that the group commander. Colonel R. Malock, established in England a department from which it was intended to carry out raids for bombing Berlin, but he only received machines camble of carrying out the work at the end of October, and although everybody worked night and day to get them ready for the attack, they were only completed three days before the signing of the armistice.
