RATIO OF 70 TO ONE
GERMAN— BRITISH LOSSES Rugby, Sept. 26. A German high command communique states: "Yesterday the enemy lost 10 planes, eight of which were Spitfires. One of them was brought down by our naval anti-aircraft guns off the North Sea coast. Six of our own planes are missing." The following authoritative comment is made in London: "With regard to the j German figures for air losses, 2G German machines were in fact shot down yester- , day against four British machines with three pilots safe. In consequence the [ German losses in trained pilots and aii crews compared with the British personnel losses amounted to fewer than 70 to one."
