GENERAL WAR NEWS.
[United Press Association.] Amsterdam, September 16. The aviator who killed Pegoud will receive a first-class Iron Cross. Allied airmen destroyed a German cotton factory at Ghent, forty soldiers being killed and wounded. Sir John French reports that the situation' is unchanged. Twenty-one air fights had taken place during the week, and in eleven cases a German aeroplane had been downed. Our artillery, assisted by aeroplane direction, bombarded, on the 10th, two observation balloons eastward of Ypres. Ono burst, and the second became deflated and was removed. In the House of Commons, Mr Balfour, replying to questions on the naval and air services, said the number of flyers was now very great. The defence of London is now in process of development, and with the assistance of Admiral Scott he hoped it would be completed within a reasonable time. He was unable to promise immunity from attack, but everything was being done to diminish the dangers.
