the mole for an hour and causing, it
is believed, much damage to the enc
my and inflicting considerable losses.
The objectives for the storming and
demolition parties on the mole were
the enemy forces holding it and the
battery upon it, and the large sea-
plane base.
Vessels Withdraw
After reembarking their landing
parties the aforesaid three vessels
withdrew. This attack primarily was
intended to engage the attention of
the garrison on the mole, thereby al
lowing the block ship to enter the
harbor.
"rhe casualties to the personnel, as
we had expected in hazardous ad-
venture of the kind, were heavy in
proportion to the number of men en-
gagged. Up to today the British loss
es reported ""e one destroyer sunk by
gunfire and two coastal motor boats
and two launches missing
I'VE have sufficient information to
show that the entrance to the Brugge
canal probably was effectively block
ed and that material damage was done
and that the greatest credit is due to
all ranks for their gallantry."
The ports Of Ostend and Zeebruppe
on the Belgian coast, are the princi-
pie bases of the operations of subma-
rines in their campaign against ship
ping in the North sea and the English
channel They are of great import
ance to the Germans for this purpose
and it has been recognized by the AL
lies that to deprive the enemy of them
would be one of the most effective
means dealing with the submarin.
An attack on these ports by the
British fleet has been urged, but the
British naval authorities regarded the
land dcfenses as too strong to make
this practicable. Various measures
have been adopted to destroy German
submarines on entering or leaving
these ports. Field Marshal Haig's Of
fensive in Flanders last summer was
generally believed to have had as one
of its main detectives the bending
back of the German northern flank
so as to deprive the enemy of these
two points.
The Brugcs canal ie about six miles
long, lunning from the city of that
name to the North Sea at Zcebrugge.
This canal is of great value to the
Germans, because the principal base
of submarines operating from Zee
brugge is at Bruges, where there are
extensive dock and shipbuildng yards.

FRENCH PREMIER CONGRAT-
ULATES AMERICAN TROOPS
Repulse of the Enemy Was a Very
Fine Success, He Says.

After visiting the American troops
Sunday and reviewing the soldiers who
repulsed the German attack Friday of
last week, Premier Clemenceau of
France on his return to Paris issued
the following note:
"The president of the council desires
personally to congratulate the Ameri
can troops in the sector where they
have just repelled brilliantly strong
enemy attack. The battalian which
took part in this operation was re-
viewed by the premier in whose pres
| ence the general commanding the
| army decorated with the war cross
| certain officers and privates whose
bravery has beer particularly re-
markable.
"This check to the enemy attack
was moreover, far more severe than
first information showed. The Ameri-
can government had modestly an
nounced that some of the enemy had
been killed and some made prisoners.
| AS a matter of fact the latest recon-
naissances have shown that IN addi-
tion to these losses the Germans left
quite a large number OF corpses be-
tween the lines.
''It was a very fine success, reflect
| ing great honor on the tenaclty OF
/ the American infantry and the accu-
racy of their artillery fire which have
thus shown they are capable of at
tanning the maximum effect from the
i French material which they have
j adopted.
;. "After visiting the field hospital
where he admired fhe morale of the
wounded, the premier went to the
front lines to examine the scone of this
operation. During his conversations
with American generals, officers and
privates the premier noted in every
one a feeling of absolute confidence
!. which, if possible, has been heighten-
!, ed further by the brilliant results OF
, their first serious meeting with the
enemy, over whom our allies have
thus clearly shown their superiority.
"The premier also saw on his way
some of our troops at rest. He con
versed with the officers and men
warmly congratulating and encourag
Il ing them. Our poilus had but one re

This is the case in, which a per,
sonal appeal and pledge of quick trlai \

Of the court officers for lack OF proper
dispatch and counter insistance by the
ether four justices in separate opln-
ion that there had been no delay dur
ing the due process Of law and that
the lower court officials were not de-

It is considered certain that there
will be no respites or other lnterfer'
