LONDON, December 2S.-Assisted by
light cruisers. destroyers and submarines,
seven British naval airmen, plotting sea-
planes, made a daring attack Christmas
day on the German naval base at Cux-
haven, at the mouth Of the EIbe. Six of
the airnen returned safely, but the sew
enth, Commander Hewlett, it is feared,
has been lost, as his machine was found
off Helgoland wrecked.
What damage was done by the bombs
thrown by the attacking party could not
be ascertained. but the German report
Of the affair says that the raid was fruit
less
The enterprise Of the British navy in
thus attempting to dig OUT the German
fleet brought about battle between the
most modern Of war machines. The Brit.
ish squadron, including the light cruisers
Arethusa and Undaunted, which have
been engaged in previous exploits on the
German coast, was attacked by Zeppelins,
seaplanes and submarines.
Avoided the Submarines.
By rapid maneuverins the ships were
able to avoid the submarines. while the
zeppelins found the IRE Of the cruisers
too dangerous for them to keep up the
fight The German seaplanes dropped
bombs which, according to the British &C.
count, fell harnlessly into the sea- The
Germans, however, claim to have hit two
destroyers and their convoy, the latter
being set af1re
The British ships remained in the
vicinity for three hours without being
attacked by any surface warships ano
picked up three of the seven pilots and
their planes. Three others were picked
up by submarines, but their machines
were sunk. Commander Hewlett, i,
is thought, was drowned. He was 3
son of Maurice Hewlett. the novelist.
Press Bureaus Report.
The official press bureau gave out
the following statement regarding the
raid on the German coast:
Friday, December 25, the German
warships lying of schilling roads, of
Cuxhaven, were attacked by sever
naval seaplane piloted by Flight
Commanders Oliver, Hewlett, Boss and
Kilner; Flight Lieuts. Miley and Ed.
wards and Sub-Lieut. Blackburn.
'The attack was delivered in day
light, starting from a point in the
vicinity of Helgoland. The seaplanes
were escorted by light cruiser and
destroyer force, together with subma-
rines. AS these ships were seen by the
Germans from Helgoland two Zeppe-
lins and three or four hostile sea
planes and several hostile submarines
attacked them.
"It was necessary for the British
ships to remain in the neighbor-
hood to pick up the returning airmen
and a novel combat ensued between
the most modern cruisers and the en-
emy's air craft and submarines. By
swift maneuvering the enemy's sub
marines were avoided, and the two
Zeppelins were easily put to flight by
the guns of the Undaunted and Are
thuSa. 49, ~ .-.... -.

but without hitting any of them. The
British ships remained for three hours

Furrowed by Intrenchments.,

The area of the Parasnfca is ap-
proximately two and one-half square
miles. Today it's level surface is fur
rowed by hundreds Of miles of in
trenchments, redoIbts, bombproofs and
covered and open passages from one
trench to another, the whole locality
having the appearance of a tremendous
maze, and in some parts the impression
Is conveyed that whole underground
city had existed there at one time. Not
a few o the trenches have been used
as graves for men and animals, but on
the whole the intrenchments today
have the appearance they had when
still! occupied by either Austro-Hun-
garian or Serb.
In many places the trenches are but
fifteen yards apart, and in but a few
instances they are separated by more
than fifty yards-eloquent testimony
OF the severity of the struggle for
their possession. So we'll constructed
were the trenches, shelter bitches and
bombproofs that field artillery was
useless, and so we'll defended were they
by the Serbs that every atteHpt by the
Austro- Hungarians to take Them BY in
fantry attacks resulted in terrible
slaughter. ;e..,
In the end a practice common in the
wars of the middle ages had to be re-
sorted to-countermining. The Serbs
had 1ntrenched themselves to a depth
of from five to nine feet, had dug tun-
nels from one position to another, and.
where this was not feasible, stout tim
ber had been used to render the
trenches safe against the Held artillery
Of the Austrians. -.

MITROVICA, Hungary. November %.
The southern theater of the European
war had it's User canal and west
Flanders"-a terrain, the possession of
which meant much to the adversaries.
Before the Austro-Hungarian army
could make headway against Servia 1t
was necessary to take the Macva dis
trict, and before this could be invaded
the Parasnica peninsula. in the Save.
north of the Drina's mouth, had to be
taken.
The eAustro-Hungarians who first at
tackled the Servian positions in the
Parasnica early in August. discovered
that the undertaking was too costly and
for more than a month contented them
selves with what may be called a siege
of the position. BY the end of Sep
tember it became more apparent than
ever that the Parasnica and Macva
would have to be cleared of Servian
troops, and operations against the in
trenchments and redoubts on the pen
insula were resumed. Toward the end
of October the Parasnica was finally
occupied, after most desperate Strug-
gle, and from that time on the ad-
vance of the Austro-Hungarian troops,
while slow, made steady headway until
Valjevo was in their hands and Kragu-
jevac, the last fortified position of the
Serbs.
