British Raid
On Zeebrugge
Blocks Port
High Naval Source Informs
Associated Press Opera
ton Was Successful

LONDON, April 25.-The Associated
Press learns from high naval source
that the operations at Zeebrugge were
a complete success, with the result
that the Flanders flotilla will now be
obliged to resort to the Ostend route
in putting to sea, from which the Brit
ish forces can more easily handle the
German ships.
In addition to the damage done to
the mole aad the German guns. ma
terial and shipping, the channel has
been blocked by the cement ships, and
a German dredger was destroyed. The
loss of the dredger. together with the
blocking up of the channel. must re-
suit in the speedy sitting .up of the
waterway, and it will take at least sew
eral weeks to clear the passage.
But for change in the wind, which
cleared away the smoke bank and re-
vealed the presence of the British
ships, the casualties would have been
much smaller and the operations at
Ostend would probably have proved as
successful as those at Zeebrugge. The
British ships had approached so near
Ostend that they were able to light
beacons on either side of the entrance
which were invisible to the enemy
owing to the smoke cloud, but a change
in the wind prevented their completing
the operations.

THE HAGUE, April 25.-Speaking
to-day in the First Chamber of The

Replying to questions from men,

New York will express it's will to

Fifth Avenue of the various groups in

1he "Win-the-W parade" as the

Taken by Teutons
Villers Bretonneux Is
Recaptured by Brit
ish After Bitter
Fighting

The battle in the West developed
yesterday into q great double
drive by the enemy.
In Picardy the heavy engagement
between the Somme and the Avre
continued with fluctuating fort
unes. AT the same time the enemy
opened furious new offensive in
FLANDERS, forcing the Allies to
retire from their forward posi-
tlons, following an attack on AN
eight-mile front before Mount
KENNEL. Fighting in both thea
tres still RACES with the utmost
intensity.
In the north, the enemy at 2 o'clock
yesterday morning started heavy
bombardment between Bailleul
and Wytschaete and two hours
later began series of determined
assaults with four to six divisions
(38,O00 to $4,000 men), thrown
forward in reckless fashion.
Halg reported last night that the
British had retired from their
line, but were still fighting
strongly. No. details of the re.
treat were given. The British do
not seem to have lost any high
ground.
