Dover, England, May 10.-The de-
cision to send the Vindictive to Os-
tend was made few days after her
return from the Zeeburgge raid, and
the task of filling her with concrete
was begun Immediately.
AS in the joint raid on Zeeburgge
and Ostend, this latest British naval
exploit was kept a well-guarded sec
ret. AS an evidence of this it is re-
called that after the battle-scarred
cruiser returned from Zeeburgge an
urgent request was made that she be
sent up the Thames to London for
public view. The authorities did not
encourage the proposal, however, and
the agitation subsidized. All this time
the old vessel was being overhauled
for her last voyage.
As on the former occasion the op-
Grafton to block Ostend harbor was
under the direction of Admiral Keyes.
Some of the men who participated
in the affair returned here today.
They say it was completely success
full.

Marseilles, May 10.--France and
Germany at recent conference held
in Switzerland signed an agreement
for the reparation Of its prisoners
who have been in captivity since
1914. Some Of these captives, most
ly old Territorials, have just arrived
here, where they feel they are in
new world. The first batch to be ex-
changed comprise artillerymen cap
tured in the fall Of Fortress Mau-
beuge in August, 1914.
The abomniable crueIties inflicted
on the French prisoners Of war have
been told many times, yet one Of
these old poilus gave description of
new form Of torture inflicted on
him and his fellow prisoners. AT the
commencement of his captivity it
needed only a slight offense to bring
upon him the worst kind of punish
ment.
In the middle prison camp was
big platform in the center Of which
was wooden post. The prisoner
was put on the platform, his hands
were tied to the post and by leather

Blocking of Ostend Harbor
Said to Be Complete Success

The firing which covered the sink
ing Of the Vindictive began about /
O'Clock this morning and lasted until
8 o'clock. The bombardment was
very heavy and could be heard at
Dover.
The night was clear, with the stars
shining brilliantly, but there was a
haze over the sea.
The Vindictive came out under a
fierce fire from the German shore bat
teries. She was navigated close into
the pier in fine style and sunk by an
internal charge. The crew escaped
in fast motor boats.
Only the number Of officers and
men absolutely necessary were on
board the ship on account of the dan
ger of her total loss. These, on sig
nal, swarmed up form the engine
room sand stoke hold and took their
positions at appointed stations so as
to slide quickly into the motor boats.
The small boats were under heavy
gun fire all the time while they were
trasferring the crew to waiting de-
stroyers.

Hun Plays Wounded
To Trap Americans
Trick Is Failure; One Ameri-
can Patrol Is Wiped
Out.

With the American Army in France
May 10.-A large German patrol at
tempted to rush the American posi-
tions on the Picady front during the
past night but was driven off.
The enemy patrol parties were ac-
tive during te night and one German,
pretending to be wounded, lay out
side the wire entaglements before an
American position beseeching help,
He was acting as a screen for others,
who were armed with hand grenades.
The Germans, failing to entice the
Americans from their trenches, at
tackled, but the Americans made it so
hot for them that they fled in confu-
sion. Their casualties are believed to
have been comparatively heavy.
The roar of heavy artillery contin-
ues day and night in this cetor.
With the American Army in France
May Am American patrol on the
Toul sector fell victim to a silent
enemy ambush some time last night.
The Germans evidently used bayo-
nets and the butts of their rifles. The
Americans went out early in the even
ing and nothing further was heard
Of them until another patrol happened
to cross the spot where the others had
been ambushed. Not one shot was
fred during the encounter, as far as
was known.

Germans Now Forced to Use Home
Ports For Submarine Bases

(FOr the United Press by Mason.)
New York, May 1.-THE second

against the submarine bases On the
Belgian coast should have an imme-
diate effect upon limitation Of U-boat
activities about the British Isles.
The first of the two daring raids
sealed the port Of zeeburgge fort
night ago, while last nights adven-
turous at ostend has completed the
internment Of the German submarines
in the Belgian waters.
The Germans will now be compell-

Took $4,000 Gas
Shells to Kill One
American

With the American Army on the
French Battle Front, May 9.--During
one German bombardment of the
Americans who are helping the
French to defend the road to Amiens
on the Picardy front, 1900 gas
shells were thrown, but only one
American lost his life. Slight dis
comfort was caused to others. 1t is
now found that the German gas is
getting weaker, due evidently to lack
of materials.

GERMAN ULTTMATUM
HANDED TO RUSSIA

London, May 1O.-Dispatches from
Moscow say that the newspapers
there published statements than an
ultimatum was recently handed to the
council of the peoples commissaries
by the German ambassador, which de-
mands the immediate execution of
measures making Russia virtaIly a
German colony. The main points
were the settlement Of the prisoner
complete cessation Of arm
ing troops and the disbandment of
units recently formed for the occu-
patton of Moscow and other cities Of
Greater Russia.
