(Associated Press Summary)

l German submarine operations from the haTbOr of OStende, Belgium, have been seriously hampered for a time. if not rendered impossible, by a daring raid made on the harbor by the Brit lSh Friday morning. An official state- ment issued today by the British ad- mraly says the channel leading ut of the inner harbOr has been con- pletely blocked by the hulk of the cruiser Vindictive, which Nas man euvered into position under heavy fire and then sunk by bombs.
 1t appears, however, that there is some doubt that the entire channel is blocked. One report says thai the yes sel does not absolutely interrupt the
 use of the fairway. ds Says Raid Is Failure.
 The German official statement con-
 cernins the raid says the attempt was
 a failure, and that the hulk of the old
 cruiser lies outside the navigation channel.
 This report may be compared to i the one issued April 24. the day ar,er the raid on Zeebrugge, which claimed ,, that no damage was dCne to the mole
 or the harbor. Subsequent events
 proved that the Zeebruge damage was
 of serious nature.
 If Ostende and Ieebrugge are re- moved as ports from which German
 lI-bOats may be operated the Germans apparently will be compelled to with
 draw the submersibles to home ports.
 Soon Complete Big Mine Field. In this connection it is interesting to note that week ago it was an
 nounced that the greatest mine field known to naval operations has been i planted in the North Sea to combat the submarine. It was officially stated 1 that the area of this mine field would
 bc ,7S2 square miles, and that it
 would be completed by May 15. l Some months ago Admiral Jellicoe of the British navy announced that the submarine menace would be met by August 1, and it is possible that he had /, the blocking of the harbors of Zee
