TERRIBLE DESTRUCTION BY THE AIRMEN

A GRIM REVIEW (Reo. November 11, 10.55 p.mj • Paris, November 10. Official. —Note-books found on Ger-, mans prove that the Allies' aviators have produced the most startling effect. One French aviator struck a bivouac of Guards, killed eight men and eight horses, and wounded thirty-two men. Another wounded sixty with a projectile! At Aubry a bomb killed thirty, and a second projectile wounded twenty. A bomb which burst midst a group Df cavalrymen, killed thirty men and fifty horses. Near Lille, cavalry which had been pursued the whole day, wero finally prevented from carrying out its object by an aviator's bomb. British aviators have been equally successful. These feats were all accomplished during salvos of grapeshot and ehells. i Promise Fulfilled. "This new military arm has fulfilled its promise. It does not replace any of the ancient arms —cavalry must always reconnoitre and patrol; artillery must open tho way for the infantry, while the engineers must prepare the ground for the latter. Finally, the infantry itself is still the main factor in battle, and must take positions and pursue the enemy."
