Under Sea Attack No
 Longer Feared, Asserts
 Briton's Navy Experts

London, NOV 25-The destruction oe Germany's rudimentary naval base at ZeebrI1zge by shell fire from British and French warships. together Wfiaa Germany's grim preparations for his renewed attempts to crush Q way through the allied line to the French coast, were the most sign4l- cant features in the news coming ro hand today from the western arena of the war.
 Tn the east the situation as regards the Russian and German armies in Fo- land remains little obscure The Germans, on the other hand. are not denying that the advance of General Won Hindenburg has been checked while the Russian war office, on the other hand although not issuing an extended statement, claims a decisive victory.
 With the smashing of the subma.r- ines the allied fleet has been removed from the vicinity of Zeebrugge. It Is lnow felt that there is little danger from an under-sea attack Aand from news despatches received from the oth- CT side of the channel it is apparent that the damage inflicted by the hre of the warships at Zeebrugge was far more extensive than was at first sup posed.
 Some reports in London set forth that the Germans already have started another attack upon the allied front in Flanders which will be more i'm tense and forTni da'ble than any hitb- erto undertaken.
 Having shattered the Prussian guard however, when it essayed t-ha feat. the allies say they have every reason to- look upon the present aitua- ton with confidence
