emf of The Associated Press visited the
cruiser Vindictive today as the guest
of Cant. Alfred f. II. Carpenter. who
commanded her in the expedition last
Tuesday against the German sub
marine base at Zcebruggc, on the bel
Sian coast.
Cnptain Carpenter received the cor
rex,opdent with his arm in sling
from n shell splinter wound. The ship
showed innumernble signs OF conflict
her decks and superstructure being
covered with the scars of shells ana
machine gun hits. The commander
during the attack was at the end OF
the bridge in a small steel box or
cabin, which had been specially con-
structcd to house a flame tbrower. In
the course of n long account OF the
mart taken by the Nindictive in the
raid Captain Carpenter said to the AS
ISOLATED Press;
CAPTAIN CARPENTERS STORY
"Our chief purpose in the eXpedI-
ton was to distract the attention or
the battery while the block ships ran
in and ply the battery of 11-inch guns,
which occupied a commanding posi-
ton at the tip of the mole. Our snip
was elaborately prepared for the busi-
ness of landing soldiers on the mole,
which is of stone 40 feet high and
Is feet above the Vindictive's top
deck at the state of the tide when
the attack took place.
1--WE had a special superstructure
over the upper deck and three long
gangways or 'brows,' which were de-
signed to take the men up to the level
of the mole as soon as we got along
side. Exactly according to plan. we
ran alongside the mole, approaching
it on the port side, where we were
equipped with specially built buffers
of wood two feet wide.
WORK OF DAFFODIL
LAS there was nothing for us to tie
up to, we merely dropped anchor
there while the Daffodil kept vi

features of the fighting that now is
going on and which may be looked
upon as the third phase of the great
German offensive.
Notwithstanding the frantic prep
arations made by the Germans for q
continuance of their drive toward
Amiens and the extreme violence Of
the fighting, their gains thus far in
that region have been very small.
Along the line from Albert south to
terre. the German assaults have been
hurled back by the allied forces, which
are strongly posted on the higher
ground to which they retired during
the last days of the German drive in
Picardy.
1t is unofficially reported that four
to six German divisions, or from $4,000
to 10000 men, have been hurled at the
British and French lines near Yprcs.
The retirement of the British in this
sector must have been small. for there
are no great gains reported by Ber-
lin so far. 1t was rumored Thursday
that Mount KENNEL. dominating
height north of Wulverghem, had been
taken by the enemy. but this has not
been confirmed.
Raiding operations are reported
along the French lines east of Mont
didier.
1t is officially announced at The
Hague that the negotiations between
Germany and Holland are mot pro-
crossing satisfactorily" The Dutch
, foreign minister has declined to give
the details of the situation between
the two countries. which is admittedly
( quite delicate.
| Winston Spencer Churchill. British
| minister of munitions speaking in the
| House OF Commons, said that notwith-
| standing the strain on production and
the losses in arms and material dur
! ing the great battles Of the last month,
the losses had been made good almost
! twice over and that so well had plans
been made that the British can corr
tinue the fight at its great intensity
until next winter.

MOLE GREATLY DAMAGED

Amsterdam, April PA correspond
ent of the Telegram sends word from
the frontier that a hole fully 20
yards wide was blown in the Zee
brugge mole by the British submarine,
which was loaded with explosives and
sent against the mole.
"One may see clearly through the
MOLE" says the correspondent, when
looking from a great distance on the
dunes from east to west. The breach
is near the coast, showing that the
submarine went quite far into the
barber. notwithstanding the barricad-
ing contrivanees. such as nets and old
boats. On the shore side of the harbor
lies the wreck of twofunneled tor
pedo boat.
MANY German wounded were trans
fered to Bruges by boat and train.
The losses among the surprised troops
must have been great. The entire gar
rison was called by sirens. The fright
ened inhabitants fled to Ramscapelle.
The people could hardly believe the
British had been in the harbor"
-Four German torpedo boats left
Zeebrugge on Tuesday night, the cor
respondent says. on one of the GUS
tomary nocturnal cruises.

RESCUE FROM BLOCK SHIPS

RESCUE FROM BLOCh SHIPS
Dover, England, April 25.-(By the As
ISOLATED Press.D-One of the most thrill
ing incidents of the British naval raid
on Zeebrugge last Tuesday was the res
cue by two American-built motor
launches of nearly 200 members of the
crew of two blockshps sunk at the en-
trance to the Bruges canal. The feat
was accomplished under heavy fire and
the actual transfer was made in less than
Is minutes.
Two of the three blockships which
passed inside the mole reached their OBJ
jectices and swung broadside across the
mouth of the channel. Then, according
to plans two motor launches dashed in
from the sea through the enemy barrage
at express train speed and drew up
alongside.
All the time shells were falling, some
, striking the blockships and causing num-
erous casualties, but the crews upheld
their traditions for GOODNESS.
GREAT HOLES IN BOTTOM
As the last of those who were able
reached the launches, two muffled ex-
plosions tore great holes in the bottoms
of the blockships the vessels settled
quickly. At the same moment the heavily
| laden launches were dashing seward and
again they passed through German bar
| rage to the waiting British destroyers.
| One launch delivered SO men to the de-
stroyers. The clock-like precision essen
tial to the success of the operation made
| it impossible to evacuate all the dead and
wounded from the blockshps but the par

II of" Henry villas he did with
everything he set his mind to-inter
fered with the dress of his subjects TO
some purpose and brought forward an
act against wearing costly apparel.
A few years later the law became
more stringent still. Philip and Mary
compelled attention not only by fines
but went so far as to send offenders to
prison. Elizabeth saw that the peo-
pie were reckless with their money
and caused an act TO be passed which
declared that anyone who sold foreign
apparel TO persons having less than
$1,000 a year in land or fees. except
for ready money. should forfeit every
penny of the price.
Ladies wore hoods, hats and caps OF
every conceivable shape. They were
careful as TO their hair, and they had
fine assortment of wigs at hand. Eliz.
abeth herself sometimes wore red hair,
and then reverted TO black for a
change. II so happened that trade In
the cap line fell on considerably be-
cause caps went out of fashion.
