ÆRONAUTICS.
AN AUSTRALIAN AVIATION CORPS’
[UNITED PEESS ASSOCIATION—COPYEIGHT.) MELBOURNE, Jan. 10. The Minister of Defence intends to establish an Australian aviation corps. The investigation of several inventions is proceeding. ANOTHER FLIGHT AT PERTH. PERTH, Jan. 10. Hammond flew for 45 minutes, his sped averaging 40 miles ail hour. THE AEROPLANE IN WAR. "Fresh from witnessing the operations of the French air scouts in Picardy, Mr. Thomas pointed out that they had revealed a new weapon of tremendous power in the aeroplane. There followed a statement of the French Minister of War that the problem of military airmanship had been solved, and that the aeroplane had proved itself a most formidable weapon for scouting. . . - His report is that there are only two aeroplanes in the field; that even these two are not being used ; and that the airman have been left ten miles from the scene of operations and been granted no facilities for their work. In signal contrast with this official neglect of the new arm at the British manoeuvres is the news that the German military authorities have been so thoroughly convinced by the French tests of military flying-machines that they have decided forthwith to organise a fleet of aeroplanes.
