GREAT NAVAL RAID

BRITISH AND FRENCH ATTEMPT
TO BLOCK zEE8RUGGE AND
OSTEND CHANNELS.
Obsolete Ships Loaded With Concrete
Are Sunk at the Entrance of Canal,
TWO slockading Ships Being Run
Ashore at Ostend.

London.-It is believed that the en-
trance to the Bruges canal has been
blocked effectively in consequence of
a naval raid on April % by the British
and French.
Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the adj
mlralty, reported to the house of COM
mons that the raid was undertaken
under command of Vice Admiral Roger
Reyes, commanding at Dover. French
destroyers co-operated with the British
forces. Six obsolete cruisers. all from
twenty to thirty years old took part
IN the attack. They were the Brilliant
Sirius, Iphigenia, Intrepid, Theta and
Nindictive.
The first five of these were filed
with concrete and were to be sunk in
the channel and entrances to the two
ports if this could possibly be man.

At Ostend two of the blockadinp
shlps were run ashore and blown up.
while the operation was in progress
British parties were landed to distract
the enemy. The officer who developed

the scheme of attack was killed.
Storming parties were landed on the
mole from the cruiser Vindictive. The
casualties to the personnel. said Sir
Hr1c, were heavy in proportion to the
NUMBER engaged. An enemy DESTROYER
was torpedoed at Zeebrugge.
Two of the blockading ships were
sunk and blown up at the entrance 70
the Bruges canal. The piling beside
the mole at Zeebrugge was blown IN
by an obsolete ship filled with explo-
sives.
The casualties to British craft were
one destroyer and two coastal motor
boats sunk and two launches missing.

an extremely gallant and hazardous
undertaking, carried out under nm
known conditions of navigation. There

WAR PROPHECY COMES TRUE
Russian Bankers Prediction Seven
Years Ago Provided for Famine
and the Bankruptcy of Nations.

Only seven years ago NJ. Bloch, the
great Russian banker, wrote: "That
Is the future of war-not fighting, but
famine; not the Staying of men, but
the bankruptcy of nations, and the
breaking up Of the whole social Or
ganization of the nations"
The future of war, as written about
by M. Bloch seven years ago, Is the
present Of war today, observes Yer
non Kellogg In the Atlantic. Not that
nghting and the Staying of men are
lessened. Only the Napoleonic and
the Thirty Years wars approach to-

OF the nations engaged may be the de-
Gliding factor In the wars conclusion.
But on the whole, and as matters stand
today, that part of M. Bloch's prophecy
referring to the predominant influence
Of the food problem in modern war
Is thoroughly borne out by the facts.
Despite the fearful and fatal strug-
Cling Of an incredible number of men.
consuming inconceivable quantities of
munitions, and using such amazing
methods Of fighting as are beyond even
the fantastic imaginings of the roo
mancers Of decade ago, the national
