SUBMARINE BASES
RAIDED BY BRITISH
ADMIRALTY SAYS RAID ON ZEE
BRUGGE AND oSTEND WAS
a SUCCESS.
FIVE CRUISERS RUN AGROUND
British Parties Landed To Distract
Enemy-otficer Who Developed the
Scheme of Attack kilIed-Storm-
ing Party Advance Under Fire.

London.-British naval forces raid
ed the German submarine bases of
Ostend and zeebrugge, the admiralty
announces.
Five old cruisers which had been
filed with concrete for use in block
ing the channels were run aground,
blown up, and abandoned by their
crews.
The admiralty reports that. accord
ing to incomplete information thus
far received, the raid met with a rea-
sonable measure Of success.
"a naval raid was made on Ostend
and zeebrugge, which are being used
by the enemy as destroyer and sub
marine bases. Our forces are return
ing and the scanty information so far
received is to the effect that the raid
met with a reasonable measure of
success.
With the exception of covering
ships. the force employed consisted
of auxiliary vessels and six obsolete
cruisers. Five Of these cruisers, fill
cd with concrete. were used as block
ships, and after being run aground
were, in accordance with orders,
blown up and abandoned by the
crews. A further communique will be
issued when reports have been receiv-
ed from the ships which are now re-
turning to their bases.
mo report OF casualties has yet
been received"
In all probability the entrance to
the Bruges Canal has been blocked
effectively in consequence of the
naval raid. Sir Eric Geddes, first lord
OF the admiralty, announced in the
House of Commons
While the operation was in prog
ress, Sir Eric announced British par
ties We're landed to distract the enc
my. 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 Eric, were heavy in proportion to
the number engaged. An enemy de
stroyer was torpedoed at zeebrugge.
Two of the blockading ships were
sunk and blown up at the entrance to
the Bruges Canal. The piling beside
the mole at Zeebrugge was blown up
by an obsolete Submarine filled with
explosives.
The casualties to British craft, Sir
Erie said, were one destroyer and two
coastal motorboats sunk and two
launches missing.
AT Ostend two Of the blockading
ships were run ashore and blown up.
The French cooperated in the raid,
Sir Eric said. He characterized it as
an extremely gallant and hazardous
undertaking, carried out under I'M
known conditions of navigation. There
was a high development of the smoke
attack.
The object, the first lord continued,
was to block the entrances to Ostend
and Zeebrugge. Monitors were used
in the operation, in addition to the
stcrming parties and the blockading
ships
The result of the whole operation,
Sir Eric said, was regarded as very
successful.
