IN THE AIR.
GERMAN RAILWAY SYSTEM. DESTRUCnVENESS OF THE BRITISH AVIATORS. Received July 19, 10.15 p.m. London, July 18. The Press Bureau issues a striking photograph of the damage caused by the raids of the British independent air force. The German railway system at Mete Sablons shows exceptionally destructive bursts —engine-sheds, workshops, and the remains of two incinerated trains—great damage being done to the network of lines. A signicant feature is the almost complete absence of rollingstock, thus showing that the 21 raids since June 21 on this important junction has materially reduced the enemy's war traffic.—Aus. NJZ. Cable Assoc, and Reuter. A BOMBING RAID. Received July'l9, 7.55 p.m. , London, July 18.
