IT was then that the laurel wreath with

SUCCESS At 0STEND
IS FRUSTRATED BY WIND
Smoke Screen Is Blown Back, Elk.
posing Raiding British Ships to
Heavy Fire From Shore.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 26 Ito Reuter- Ottawa
Agency).-The British admiralty am
plified today the official report which it
issued yesterday regarding the recent
raid against German I-boat bases on
the Flanders coast. Whereas yester-
days report dealt with the attack on
Zeebrugge. today's described in detail
the operations against Ostend. Today's
report follows:
The winds that blew back the smoke
screen at Zeebrugge served us even
worse at Ostend. where nothing else
prevented the success of the opera ton
ably directed by Commodore Lynes.
1.-The coastal motor boats had made a
smoke cloud which effectually hid our
motor boats approach from the enemy.
The Sirius and Brilliant were already
past the Stroom bank buoy when the
wind changed, revealing our arrange
ments to the enemy. who extinguished
the smoke flares with gunfire.
"The Sirius was already in sinking
condition when at length the two ships
having failed to find the entrance
grounded and were forced to sink
themselves at a point about 400 yards
taken off by motor launches under
Lieuts Hoare and Bourke.
motor launches were here under the
command of Commander Hamilton
Benn r. n. V. r.. while those at Zee
brugge were commanded by Capt Col
Inns the vice admirars flag captain All
other coastal motor boats were COM
manded by Lieut.. Wellman, D. s. o.,
r. n. The torpedo boat destroyer fotil-
la was commanded by Capt Tookinson
"The difficulty of the operation can
be judged from the fact that from Zee
brugge to Ostend the enemy batteries
number not less than 12O heavy guns
which can concentrate on retiring ships
in daylight up to a distance of about
sixteen miles,. This imposes as a con-
ditton of success that the operation
must be carried out at night and not
late.
1.-The fight must take place at high
water. with the wind from the right
quarter. with a calm sea for small
craft operation. 1t cannot be rehearsed
beforehand since the essence is secrecy,
and though one might have to walt a
long time to realize all the essential
conditions Of wind and weather secrecy
wears badly when large numbers of
men are brought together in readiness
for attack"

Long Test of Endurance.

81 want to emphasize the fact that
this is long-drawn-out test of endur-
ance, endurance of nations. That is
why it is so imperative for this coun-
try. and all countries which are en-
gagged, TO get hold of every man they
can possibly to support the battle front.
What is going to tell in the end is
men,.
In summing up the battle situation,
Gen. Radcliffe said:
las regards a few days preceding
April 23, the German activities were
devoted chiefly to the Lys sector be-
tween Givenchy and Merville. All the
details have been published. and the
net result was highly satisfactory to
us. The Germans put in a lot of troops.
suffered heavy losses and gained abso-
lutely nothing.
Around Givenchy. particularly, the
result was very satisfactory. Some inn
portant positions changed hands and
were finally left in our possession. Fur
ther, north east of Robecq. we gained
quite a little ground and took a con-
siderable number of prisoners. All of
il was good. The balance of losses and
wear and tear as decidedly against
the Germans, and that is what we want

On Villers-Bretonneux Front.

"On the south the situation at VIII
ers-Bretonneux is very satisfactory.
with the village we have taken many
prisoners and inflicted heavy losses.
Nillers- -Bretonneux Is most important
tactical point atop plateau from which
one may look down the western slopes
toward Amiens.
Looking at these two attacks. we
see one thing. In each case the enemy
has struck at the junction of the
French and British armies. AS YOU
know, that must always be weak
spot. With the best possible arrange
ments and with the best understanding.
it must always be difficult to arrange
for immediate support. both by artillery
and reserves, when two different COM
mands are involved. These difficulties.
naturally, are increased when you have
two nationalities and, although we and
the French have been fighting alongside
each other for three and half years
and have absolute confidence IN each
other. yet we must always expect the
Germans to ttry to find joint in the
harness.
speaking generally as regards the
German policy as evidenced in the
events of the last few days. there Is
nothing to alter the view that Gen.
Maurice put before you-that it is the
German intention to wear out the Brit
ish army He has been unable to break
it or divide the British and the French.
There is no reason TO doubt tnat b
big offensive on far greater scale
than ever is still to be expected be-
tween Arras and Amiens, with the OBJ
ject of driving in and separating the
British and French. So far the whole
German success is merely tactical. He
has won ground and taken positions
and guns and is hammering the British
army wherever possible. This object
has been countered by the action of
the allied commander-in-c chief in send
ing French troops to the north front,
making it more difficult for the Ger
mans to continue the game OF fighting
the British alone

LONDON, April ss.-The importance OF
every entente allied country engaged in
the war to get every possible man into
position to support the battle front was
emphasized by Gen. Delma Radcliffe. chief
director Of military operations, at the war
office today, in his first interview with
newspaper men since he took over the
position formerly held by Maj. Gen. F.
b. Maurice.
THE Germans are going on with this
hammering process he said. and we
have got to make up our minds that it
is not this week. or next week, or next
month that this fight is coming to de-
cision. We are going to fight the whole
summer, and in the end it is a question
of who holds the last reserves.
"Re serves on the west front now are. l
am happy to say. in the hands of one
command, namely. in the hands of the
commander-in-Chief of the allied armies
in France, Gen. Foch. in whom everybody
in both armies has complete confidence.
He has SO far employed only small pro-
portion CT his reserves, and that Is a
good augury for the future.
