 Great Gallantry Shown
 This attack, primarily, was in tended to engage the attention of the garrison On the mole, thereby allow, ing the block ships to enter the har' bor.
 The casualties to the personnel as we had expected in a hazardous ad- venture of this kind, were heavy in proportion to the number of men en' gagged.
 Up to today the British losses re ported are one destroyer sunk by gun fire and two coastal motor boats and two launches missing.
 We have sufficient information tf show that the entrance to the Bruges canal probably was effectively blocked, that material damage was done. and that the greatest credit is due to all ranks for their gallantry."

ing to official German accounts of Captain Von Richtofen's end he wsa pursuing at a low altitude an enemy battleplane, when apparently motor trouble forced him to land behind the enemy lines. As he made a smooth landing it was hoped he had only been
 captured, until the British reports were received announcing his death.
 As Won Richthofen was pursugin an enemy plane at the time. the aviators with him point out he could not well have been hit by his opponents fire and the belief is expressed that he was the victim of a chance shot from the ground.

At Zeebrugge two of three block ships attained their objective, being sunk or blown up at the en- trance of the canal. The third ground ed while passing in.
 Torpedo Hun Destroyer
 "A certain amount of damage, the extent at present unknown, was done by gunfire and torpedo attack from an enemy destroyer and other craft lying at the mole. Coastal motor boats report having torpedoed an enemy de- stroyer which was trying to escape seaward. One of the two old sub marines gained its objective and de- stroyed the piling approach to the mole.
 ''Storming parties from the Vindic- tive and the ferry boats attacked un- der an extremely heavy fire and fought with the greatest gallantry, maintain ing their position alongside the mole for an hour and causing, it is believed much damage to the enemy and in ficting considerable losses. The ob- jectives for the storming and demol- ition parties on the mole were the enemy forces holding it and the bat tery upon it. as well as the destroyer and submarine depots and the large seaplane base upon it.

 Huns Make Threat
 Rumor has it that relations between Holland and Germany are strained; 1; that Germany has delivered an ulti- matum to Holland demanding the right to transmit civilian supplies, sand and gravel and war materials on the Dutch canals and railways. In Holland, it is said the feeling is that acquiescence would be equal to Hol- lands abandonment of neutrality.
 Advices coming out of Germany are that the German newspapers are pre-, pairing the people for a declaration of war by Urugray and Argentina against Germany at an early date.

 LONDON, April 23.-Two destroy CTS got inside the mole at Zee5rugge and blew up the dock gate, the core spondent at Dover of the Daily Mail reports. The feat, he said, seems in- credible. but there appears to be no doubt about it.

Wdr Summary
OBy Review Leased Wire)


 The British have not permitted tht halt in the fighting along the westerI battle front to keep them inactive With their landsmen in the aler watching keenly and waiting for tho next move of the German infantry il France and, Belgium, British maya forces reinforced to some extent by French war craft, have carried out 2 startling and daring maneuver which if it should prove to have been sue cessful. may play a marked part ir the future of the war. No less ob jective was sought than the plotting out by one sweeping blow of Ger many's submarine menace from the bases at Zeebrugge and Ostend, by the sinking across the exits from the harbors of large old time cruisers laden with cargoes of concrete, to make them more difficult of re moval.
 Many Volunteer
 While full details of the attack have not yet been received, the infOrma- tion at hand is that two of the cruis- CTS were blown up at the entrance to the Bruges canal and another was sunk while passing in the canal. At Ostend two additional warships were run ashort and destroyed by bombs, but it is believed they failed to choke the channel fully.
 In addition considerable damage was doEe by the guns of the war ships to works on shore at both places.
 Volunteers were chosen by the admiral in command of the dangerous task and far greater number of men than could be used fin the enterprise willingly offered their services for a maneuver which might be successful in ridding the waters of menaces which had remained impregnable un- der the shore batteries, the guns of warships and the treacherous shoal water outside.
 One British torpedo boat destroy. CT was sunk by the German gun, and four smaller craft are missing and a considerable number of casualteis on board the attacking vessels were suffered.
 British Make Gain
 Along the entire battle front the state of comparative quieSuGe that has existed since last Thursday con tinues. The only activity, except for small attacks here and there, is be- ing carried out by the artillery. The German guns have been paying par ticular attention to the sectors around Ypres, Kemmel and the Nieppe for est, upon which large numbers of high explosives and gas shells have been thrown.
 North of Albert the British in a local attack improved their position and took prisoners and additional cap tives were made by them near Robecq and Wytschaete. Attempts by the Germans to raid French trenches be- tween Lassigny and Noyon were re- pulsed.
 Notwithstanding the lull there is expectancy in the allied camps of the approach of another great lat tempt by the Germans to break their lines. All precautions have been ta- ken by the var commanders and ev- everywhere the fronts have been
