The air i: thoroughly patrolled it t various heights lip to about feet precluding the possibility of Zeppelin 's sneaking up without their presence being known. The French air scouts fly at all times with lights extinguished except from time when for a moment when tin elec tric, flush is turned on to piymit of the observation of their instruments.
