Old Destroyer Vinidictive is Sunk in the Mouth of the Channel
French Made a Notable Advance at Grievesness Where They Took the Part of the Town Held by the Ger mans for Past Three Weeks.

New York, May 10-German sub marine operations from the harbor of Ostend. Belgium. have been seriously hampered for a time if not rendered impossible by a daring raid made on the harbor by the British Friday morning. An official statement is- sued by the admiralty says the chan nel leading out of the inner harbor has been completely blocked by the hulk of the old cruiser Vindictive, which was maneuvered into position under fire and then sunk by bombs. It appears, however, that there is some doubt that the entire channel is blocked, one report saying that the vessel lies at an angle and does not absolutely interrupt the use of the fairway
 The German official statement concerning the raid says the attempt was a failure and that the hulk of the old cruiser lies outside of the navigation channel This report may be compared to the one issued on April 24, the day following the raid on Zeebrugge, which claimed that no damage was done to the mole or the harbor there.
 Subsequent events there have proved that the damage done by the raid of April 23 was of a serious na- ture.
 It pointed out that the obstruction to the channel at Ostend will tend to eventually close the harbor | through the action of the tides and the rapid sitting up of the harbor If Ostend and Zeebrugge are re- moved as ports from which U-1boats may be operated, the Germans ap- parently will be compelled to with draw to their home ports. In this connection it is interesting to note that a week ago it was announced that the greater mining field known to naval operations had been planned in the North Sea to combat the sub marines.
 It was officially stated that the area of this mine field would be 121,7S2 square miles and that it would be completed by May 15
 Some months ago Admiral Jelicoe ot the British navy announced that the submarine menace would be met by August Il.
 While the naval arm of the na- ton was busy on the Belgian coast the military forces were engaged in local fighting in the Ypres and Som me sectors.
 The French made a notable ad- vance at Grievsnes, where they took the part of the town which had been in German hands for three weeks Along the front to the north there were scattering engagements, notably at Aveluy wood, north of Albert, where the contending armies are striving for strategetic ground. There were also small operations in the Kemmel hill front, southwest of Ypres.
 There have been the usual local engagements between patrols on the Italian and Macedonian front. but nothing approaching a general en- gagement has been fought.
 Pope Benedict has set aside Jung 29 as a day to be observed in the Catholic churches of the world as a day for prayers that peace mght be restored to the world.

ROOSEVELT REPLIES TO
 POSTMASTER GENERAL
COMPARES TREATMENT OF TOM WATsoN's PUBLICATION TO
 THAT OF HEARST PAPERS

New York, May 10.-Theodore Roosevelt made public tonight what he termed "a brief preliminary state ment" in reply to the request of Postmaster General Burleson that he prove statements he had made in an editorial to the effect that favoritism had been shown in the treatment of publications under the espionage act.
 MT. Roosevelt mentioned specifically he New York Tribune, Golfers Weekly and the Metropolitn maga- zine as publications which have been assailed by George Greet, of the com mittee on public information. while others which directly or indirectly aided Germany" have not been sub jected to government criticism.
 In the latter category he included the publications owned by William R. Hearst.
 The prime failure of the admin istration to proceed against papers which opposed the war or attacked cur allies or directly or indirectly aided Germany is afforded by the failure of the administration to deal with MT. Hearsts papers as it dealt with certain other papers," said the statement.
 Referring to the Tribune, Golfers and the Metropolitan, the colonel as serted they have Consistently upheld the war" and have also told that small portion of truth it was abso- lutely necessary to tell about the ad - ministration's failure to conduct the war efficiently"
 He said that MT. Greet officially speaking as President Wilson's rep resentative, and as giving a message from the United States government to the American people, had at tackled Golfers and "he has also at tackled the Metropolitan and the New York Tribune"
 He said neither the postmaster general nor the postoffice department has made any attempt to remedy the wrong it did" in the case of the Metropolitan.
 Colonel Roosevelt termed MT Hearst a Every wealthy man, reputed to be much more than a millionaire, owning a dozen newspapers, more or less, and half a dozen magazines in different parts of the country"
 "At the very beginning of the war" he said, "the government proceeded successfully against Tom Watson's publication in Georgia. Yet Tom Watson had done nothing that was anything like as dangerous 10 this country as Mir. Hearst has done"
 To support his contention he quoted from editorials in the Hearst news papers.
 The colonel declared it is abso- lutely impossible to reconcile the governments action in proceeding against Tom Watson's paper with it's failure to proceed against MT. Hearst's papers on any theory that justice was to be done alike to the strong and the weak.
 MT. Roosevelt said he would an- swer the postmaster general com- pletely and at length in a letter to some senator, so as to have it ap- pear permanently in the records pre- cisely as MT. Burleson's statement appears"
