BIGGER RAIDS ON SEAS
British Believe PIunger Warfare Will
Increase During March.

London. Feb 15--It is the conf
dent belief that the German subma-
rine warfare will not reach the high
est efficiency until the first week in
March. British naval officials do not
believe the lull of the past week
marks the passing of the crisis. They
believe it is only a period during
which the submarines have been UNI
able to reach efficiency thru the lack
of a field for operations. So far the
blockade" has proved a failure in
cutting off Great Britain's food sup
ply.
An admiralty official showed fig

RAID EVERY 10 HRS
Constant Harassing of Germans
by British Thrusts.
Canadians in Dash EntOmb
Scores of Enemy in Shaft.

With the British Armies in France
via London. Feb. 15.-(From a staff
correspondent of the Associated
Press.) The past thirty hours have
witnessed three of the British raids
which are carried out daily and night
ly, with the object of making life I'M
bearab to the Germans in the front
line trenches Two of the raids were
conducted by the Canadians, who
really invented the practice of trench
raiding, which has now spread thru-
out the British army. THESE ralds,
added to the steady progress by the
British on both sides of the Ancre,
are evidence that the coolest weather
of the war on this front has not
stopped the constant worrying pres
sure which the British seek to exert
upon the Germans.
Old soldiers say that there is moth
ing quite Sc valuable as their minor
operations for keeping the troops in
lighting trim, while nothing is so de-
pressing and injurious to morale as
the constant defensive which the Ger
mans have endured all winter oppo-
site the British lines.
In this respect, the British are very
unlike the French in their methods
of winter warfare. General Haig' s
policy has been one of unceasing bonn
bardment, punctuated by daily raids
and minor attacks, tactics which have
brought in a constant stream of pris-
oners and inflicted a heavy toll OF
casualties on the Germans.
French Tactics Different
| The French on the other hand pre-
fer lying quietly in their trenches for
long periods and then attacking sud-
\ denly on a wide front in a sharp,
/ fierce combat. The British have not
the same appreciation of the ,dra matte
as the French but believe implicitly in
the efficacy of the steady grinding
down process which they are carrying,
| out.
! In their biggest raid. the Canadians
! captured forty-seven prisoners OF the
| Eleventh Bavarians, who only came
into the lines yesterday. The Cana
dams remained in the German
! trenches for more than an hour and
| left them completely wrecked. Their
most important work probably was
the blowing in of four mine shafts by
i which they sealed in living tombs
scores of Germans who were tunnel
ing toward the British lines. The
I Germans tried to cut off the Cana
dams with a double barrage fire and
then attacked but they only succeeded
in ihflicting few casualties

ENEMIES JOIN IN HUNT
Wolves Attack Wounded and Germans
and Russians Pursue.

Petrograd, Feb. ia wolf hunt
in which both Russian and German
soldiers Joined is described in CORE
spondence from the Polish front
Parties CT Russian and German scouts
met recently and were holly engaged
in a skirmish when a large pack of
wolves dashed on the scene and at
tackled the wounded. Hostilities were
at once suspended and Germans ana
Russians instinctively attacked thu
pack. killing about fifty. After the
hunt the soldiers separated, each party
returning unmolested to it's own
trenches
Along some sections of this front
hungry wolves have been particularly
bold this winter, constituting a real
danger to outposts of both armies and
repeatedly the combatants have had
to send out hunting parties against the
common enemy.
While at this sort of work, shipping
is suspended by a sort of tacit q gree
ment among opposing forces
