tUnited Press Leased Wire.)
LONDON, April 2t.--The
FrancO-British naval raid
on the Belgian coast yester-
day mOrning-one of the
most daring exploits in mari
time history, was believed
by experts to have sealed up
the Zeezruggc submarine
base.
The blow is a hard one to Ger
many, fnasmuch as two 300-foot
ships, filled with hundreds OF
tons of cement, hardened like
stone, which were sunk in the
channel, will require weeks of la.
Dor to remove.
Meanwhile, many submarines
and other war craft thus will be
blocked from the open sea.
Survivors say the approaching
ships were discovered near the
mole and hundreds of guns from
the shore batteries opened fire on
them.
The ships were partially pro.
tected by the mole, altho numer.
Gus hits were scored on them In
the upper works and other moi
vital parts.
When the landing parties dis
embarked the German garrison or
