French aviation has been made by
forty French aeroplanes. The squad-1 LUNDON' Jun 27__..Cermin
ron divided into two parte. One pro ceeded to Monastir, the other to Ghevgell. Some of the machines were provided with guns and 240 pro- jectlles were discharged on the enemy’a camps. the Bulgarian lieae quarters and other military establish- nients._ `
The airmen were heavily but harm-
lossly bombarded. Tilley avoided iii. juryiiig Ited Cross buildings.
The raid was notable for the cir-
cumstances that the airmen had to cou- tcnd with a 40 miles gale blowing on their flank and had to fly over moun- tains 6.000 feet high. The aeroplanes attacking Glievgell threw more thaii 100 bombs. Both parties returned to Saloiiikl without casualties.

KING AIITETIT STANDS
UTI TALES III IIIIES
LONDON. Jan. 27.--Tlic report
printed in the New York American that the German Govemment is con- sidering the voluntary evacuation or Belgium if the Belgians conclude a separate peace is taken here with several grains oi’ salt.
In the first place it can be assert
ed authoritatively that if such a. plan really has received consideration from the German Government no steps of any kind have been taken to place it before either King Albert’s Govern- nieiit or any of the Entcnte Powers. Secondly it is niost firmly believed licro than any proposals which Ger- many might place before the Belgian Govcriinient would at once be submit- ted in the Entcnte Powers. for al- though Uclgiuiii did not sign the Lon- don agreenicnt, her political and econo~ mic destiny is indlssolubty bound up with thc cause of llio Entcnte Powers.
King Alhcrt'n heroic resolutions ac
vordlug to persons who have seen Ebiini recently, is as strong as over, and his sentlinonts are shared to Llio full hi his Government at Havre. That the Aaierlcnii obtained its information from it “high German source" is not doiiliiod llicrc. for suggestions t‘lini Belgium would fliid it profitable to nr gotiato for a separate peace have been - published recently in inspired Gorman papers.
Gcrrnaifs persistent 'efforts Ito wen
keii the Entcnte by dolucliing one or anoi.hor oi' the great. powers have been uiisiiccessful. That sho should ex- tend licr endeavors to suffering littl<- Boigiuni would cause ao surprise. bin iilio fact. that after a. year and a hall of war sim has not progressed in t.'h.l»= direction beyond the stage of news paper balloons d'ei\sai is taken as ln- ceiitrovertibie evidence of Gormaay’s realization that ovortures to King Al- bert’s Government would not meet with success. _ -
'line further information that Ger-
niaiiyl-i benevolent intentions in ro. gnrd in Belgium would be dependant upon Great Britain raising the naval blockade is here ,regarded as s mow in the game to set Germany in a good iight before the American people, and create the impression that it ls Eng- land which prevents a settlement of l;lie war.
