Canal Still Blocked ,

London, May Regarding RE
ports that German submarines have
been unable to enter Flemish ports
and have had to return to Germany,
Reuters Limited says it is unable
to obtain confirmation in naval quar-
ters.
Photographic and other evidence
from zeebrugge shows that the
Bruges canal Is still entirely blocked
as a result Of the British raid OF
April 23 and that it cannot be used.
The distractions, it has been found,
were better placed than was at first
supposed. German attempts TO clear
the water way are meeting with no
success as a result OF British air
activity and other causes.
Dover, Eng, May 1o.-The decision
TO send the indictive TO Ostend
was made a few days after her re-
turn from the zeebrugge raid, and
the task of filling her with concrete
was begun immediately.
AS in the joint raid on Zeebrugge
and Ostend, this latest British naval
exploit was kept well guarded ae-
cret AS an evidence of this IT is
recalled that after the battle SCARED
cruiser returned from Zeebrugge an
urgent request was made that She
be sent up the Thames to London for
public view. The authorities did not
encourage the proposal, however, ana
the agitation subsidized. . All the. time
the old vessel was being overhauIed
for her last voyage.

PARIS, Sept 29.-Leon Daudet, son
OF Alphonse Daudet, and debtor of
the Action Franchise, recently violat-
ed some scenes OF American activity
behind the lines and his enthusiasm
is unbounded.
What cordial frankness they
show" he writes of the Amsgscan
soldiers. ITO the inhabitants they
offer their bread, preserves and Gig
arettes with a charming gesture which
seems to say ''Are we not brothers."
They are full of politeness to every
woman. no matter what her age, and
of kindness to every child.
''In station, in the middle of the
might, | saw some poor little kiddies,
the family OF refugees, sleeping on
the floor. Two American officers
passed, They stopped, looked, shook
their heads, then without a word,
threw over the youngsters their over
coats which they were carrying on
their arms. They themselves sat
down near by and waited for two
hours in the cold air of the dawn.
"a French aviator, instructor at a
flying school for Americans said to
me, They are remarkable pupils;
their docility and modesty are won
derful. They learn rapidly and re-
tain everything, and their gratitude
to their teachers. is extreme. They
burn to avenge the devastation of
France"
After speaking of the American
Red Cross hospital trains with the
greatest admiration, Daudet con-
cludes:
ITO the French, to the English
still full of valor but exhausted by
four years of terrible war, the Ameri.
cans are bringing their fresh blood.
The old fighters, seeing this glorious
aid arrive, understanding its valor
and vigor, have felt their forces re,
yive. Hope, the certainty of victory
have bounded in single leap to the
marvellous level of the beginning
and by victory, l mean the definite
crushing of accused Germany. / dc
