Calais is the western terminal of
the main railroad artery that sup
plies the British armies on the Lens
Arras battle front in northwestern
France. The town lies directly oppo-
site the British channel port of
Dover. near which place five German
destroyers attempted a raid on Brit
ish shipping Friday night with the
result that two German ships and
possibly three were sunk by British
vessels.
1t has been suggested that the OBJ
ject of the Teuton naval raid was to
interrupt the voyage of Premier
Lloyd George across the channel
from the continent where HI had
been in conference with the French
and Italian prime ministers.
IT is possible that the German de-
stroyers which escaped in the dark
ness from the Dover battle were the
vessels which bombarded Calais, di-
recting their shells on the town while
skiriting the coast on their return to
the naval bases at Zeebrugge or Ant
werp.
