Paris, May 26.
An order of the day to' the French air force, urging them to keep up their good work, was sent today by General Maurice Vuillemin, Commander-in-Chief of the French air corps.
"Officers, non-commissioned officers and men of the air force," General Vuillemin said, "since the beginning of the war and particularly during the past fortnight you have spared no effort day and night to face victoriously an enemy superior in numbers. I knew I could count on you. The hour at hand is a decisive one, Our skies must remain French. Wing to wing with our Allies, in skies covered with glory, following the example of those who came before you, you will conquer again."—Havas.
