SALUTARY BOMBING BY AIRMEN. (Rec. December 3, 11.50 p.m.) London, December 1. A message from Dakka Khel says that recalcitrant tribesmen to-day realised the inflexibility of the British terras. Their reply to tho twenty-four hours' ultimatum was not received at. eight o'clock In the morning, and within lmlf an hour seventeen aeroplanes were flying over Ismail Khcl with a full complement of bombs. The airmen unloaded four tons on the recalcitrant tribesmen, descending to three hundred feet, and leaving the villages heaps of dust. Further bombing operations against tho Waziria will probably be unnecessary, though a column maj[ march through the Wazir country to impress the tribesmen.—Reuter.
