London, April el-Not only was the
mouth Of the canal at Zeebrugge
blocked, but British sailors and ma
rlnes who participated in the raid on
the German submarine bases believe
they destroyed every gun on the mole.
demolished the sheds all along it's
length and blew up large stores OF mu-
nitions, according to stories given by
the survivors to the correspondent OF
the Daily Chronicle.
Until they were within half mile
of the harbor Of Zeebrugge no ships in
the attacking forces had picked up the
light on the mole. The attacking ship
which started for the mole followed by
calls Of good luck" from the escort
ing ships, had scarcely got inside the
light when it was discovered
Star shells instantly pierced the
thick haze. showing up the cruiser as
clearly as tho it had been daylight In
one second it seemed as tho every bat
terry in the neighborhood had concen-
trated it's fire on the cruiser. How she
was able to get ahead no one watch

She proceeded to the mole and landed

mans conceived the idea that the sail
ors were Americans and this cry was
heard, IT'S the Americans; it's the
Yankees
Some Of the Germans bolted from
the nearest batteries, leaving their
guns to the British. The guns were
destroyed one by one, while others of
the landing parties dealt with the
sheds with flame throwers.
Under cover of this movement the
concrete-laden cruisers made their
way thru the harbor accompanied, as
far as It can be ascertained, by only
one submarine. AS they approached
the entrance they anchored, swung
around on the cables and were sunk
within twenty three minutes. One OF
the destroyers or submarine ea.
ploded torpedo at the gates OF the
lock Of the Bruges canal and they are
believed to have been destroyed.
Meanwhile four destroyers entered
the harbor to make observations.

landing party had completed its work

In making their apparently sue
cessful attack on the German sub
marine nests at Zeebrugse and Os-
tend the British fleet, assisted by
the French, has given the German
fleet something to ponder over.
British sailors and marines who
have returned from the gallant en-
terprise report that the gate to the
lock Of the 6ruses canal has been
blown up and the water let out
into the North sea. ALSO the chan
mel was blocked by sinking con-
crete laden cruisers, and the bat
teries on the mole were destroyed.
Tho Bruses canal has been used
by the German submarines as
base and the blowing up Of the
lock, the report Of which lack Of
fetal confirmation, and the block
ing Of the channel would destroy
zeebrugse's usefulness for some
time.
British naval writer's give varied
estimates as to how long it will
take the Germans to repair the
damage done, ranging from many
days to many weeks, and perhaps
longer.

Great Activity Being
Observed Behind Line
Held By Americans

heavily bombarded for five hours ending
at o'clock this morning. The enemy
used shrapnel high explosives, gas and
incendiary shells.
At the time the enemy started fires
back OF his lines in No Mans Land,
which gave off dense clouds OF smoke.
The fact that four troops of enemy cav
airy were seen at shutdown yesterday
and the development Of the lombard
ment into barrage led to the supposition
that the enemy was using his smoke
clouds to conceal advancing troops. One
body of enemy troops was observed on
one Of the TANKS.
The barrage of the Americans swept
across No Mans Land and another In
the direction of the flank. All the Amer
lean machine guns came into action
simultaneously and the Americans stood
by ready for the Germans. None of them
appeared, however.
The incendiary shells of the enemy set
fire to the grass and the camouflagde
positions in the American lines. The
blazes burned briskly until the rain
quenched them.
