News from Switzerland is that the bombardment had much more serious results than the Germans admit. The inhabitants, awakened by the burst- ing of the bombs, ran into the streets half clothed and panic-stricken. They saw twenty-three aviators oir- oling over the town at a low altitude, One wing of the Grand Ducal Pal- ace was demolished. The Queen of Sweden, who was staying in another wing, wae not injured.

LONDON, June 17.—Sky battles on & ecale the world has never dreamed of will lend @ new thrill to the Bu- ropean War spectacle before many days. Within the Inst six months aero- Plane factories here and in the United States have been turning out scores of biplanes designed to give England @upremacy in the #kies. Publication of thie fact was not permitted until the formal announcement from the War OMice in the House of Commons yesterday, it was learned to-day that the British air fleet now comprises 2,800 biplane: id monoplanes and about fifty dirigibles, equipped for bomb-hurling raids. To challenge Great Britain's su- periority in the skies, German aero-| plane and dirigible factories have been working overtime since last September. Zeppelins have been | turned out as rapidly as they could be ‘manufactured at the Friedricha- hafen factory, but the German Ad- | miralty, according to reports received here, has placed less reliance on aero- planes for battle purposes and now has less than 4,000 Taubes to meet the | English attacks in the alr, Many of | these are in use along the Russian | battle front for scouting purposes. — | Great Britain's alr fleet of 2,600 was | recruited partly for defensive and partly for offensive action. Despite the admission from the Admiralty yesterday that forty persons were Killed by Zeppelins in raids on the northeast coast on June 5 and June 15, it 1s the belief here that the aero- plane defense of London and other large cities is so nearly perfect that the Zeppelins will never be able to reach central districts While part of the nation’s air forces | will continue to patrol the coast to meet German dirigibles, it is under- stood here that several flotilias are shortly to join the French, who have been making successful raids on Ger- man ammunition factories and chem- jeal we ita, The Russian Sirkorsky biplane, after which some of the new English machines are reported to be modeled, has done heavy German front in Poland, Because of its size and its capacity for carrying explosives, the Slavs have named it the “flya Mourometz," after a fab- ulous Russian giant.
