WAR REVIEW
 OF THE DAY
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

German submarine operations from the harbor of Ostend, Belgium, have been seriously hampered for a time, if not rendered impossible, by a dar- ing raid upon the harbor by the British Friday morning. An official statement issued by the British admiralty says the channel leading out of the inner harbor has been completely blocked by the hulk of the old cruiser Vim dictive. which was maneuvered into position under heavy fire and then sunk by bombs. It appears, however, that there is some doubt that the en- tire channel is blocked, one report saving that the vessel lies at an angle and does not absolutely interrupt the use of the fairway.
 Germans Deny Success
 The German official statement con- corning the raid says the attempt was a failure and that the bulk of the old cruiser lies outside of the navigation channel. This report may be compared to the one issued on the day following the raid on Zeabrugge, which claimed that no damage was done to the mole or the harbor there. Subsequent events have proved that the damage done by the raid April 23 was of a serious nature.
 It is pointed out that the obstruc- tion in the channel at Ostend will tend eventually to close the harbor through the action of the tides and the rapid sitting up.
 May Use Home Ports If Ostend and Zeebrugge are re- moved as ports from which the Ger man U-boats may be operated, the Germans apparently will be compelled to withdraw their submersibleS to their home ports.
 In this connection. It is interesting | to note that week ago it was an- nounced that the greatest mine field ! known to naval operations had been planted in the North sea toNcombat the submarines. It was officially stated that the area of this mine field would be 121,7S2 square miles and that l it would be completed by May 15.
 Menace Met by August
 Some months ago, Admiral Jellicoe of the British navy. announced that | the submarine menace would be met | by August 1 and it is possible that he | had the blocking of the harbors of | Zeebrugge and Ostend and the laying Of an immense mine field in mind when he made his statement. While the naval arm of the entente nations was busy on the Belgian coast, l the military forces were engaged in local fighting in the Ypres and Somme sectors. The French made notable advance at Grivesnes, where they took the park of the town, which had been in German hands for three weeks.
 Small Military Operations
 Along the front to the north there were scattering engagements, notably at .iveluy wood, north of Albert, where the contending armies are striv- ing for strategic ground. There Were also small operations in the Kennel hill front, southwest of Ypres.
 There have been the usual local en- agreements between patrols on the Italian and Macedonian fronts but nothing approaching general engage ment has been fought

LONDON, May 1o.-The Vim dictive lies at an angle not ef- Actively blockading the channel at Ostend, but serving a very useful purpose, according to the press association. A partial and very serious blockade has been achieved and under the conditions of tide and sitting prevailing, this obstruction will certainly tend to increase.

 LONDON, May 10.-There was local fighting today at Aveluy Wood, north of Albert, and hostile artillery activity, especially in the Vimy and Robecq sectors and south of Dickebusch. There is nothing further to report, says the official report from Field Marshal Haig this evening.
 Today's official statement fol- lows:
 "The small portion of our front trench north of Albert gained by the enemy as a result of his at tack yesterday morning, was re- captured by us during the evening by counter attack. We took a few prisoners.
 "The hostile artillery was active last night in the valleys of the Somme and Ancre rivers and at different points on the Lys battle front"

Nindictive, Battle Scared
 Veteran of Former Dash,
 Sunk in Ostend Channel, Partly Blocking It Up
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wirel

LONDON, May lO.-The British navy has compelled its operations ot the bottling up of the German subna- rine mouths on the Belgian coast by the sinking of the scared old, cruiser Vindictive, stuffed with concrete, at the entrance to Ostend harbor.
 The feat, accomplished in the early hours of Friday, was the second ex- ploit of the Vindictive with the object of closing the submarine bases, and il appears to have been highly success full. The Nindictive went in under heavy fire from the German batteries and her crew escaped, leaving only T few dead men, on board motor boats which transferred them to torpedoboat destroyers.
 Cruisers Cover Dash
 The Vindictives dash was covered by bombardment from several cruis- CTS. The German official account ot the affair seems to have been written to save the face of the Germans. It says that several cruisers attempted to enter the harbor. but were driven off but that an old one stranded. /
 Admiral Reyes Directs
 As on the former occasion. the oper- ation to block Ostend harbor was un- der the direction of Admiral Reyes.
 Some of the men who participated in the affair returned to Dover today. They say it was completely successful.
 The fire which covered the sinking of the Nindictive began about 1 o'clock this morning and lasted until o'clock The bombardment was very heavy and could be heard at Dover.
 Faces Fierce Fire
 The Vindictive came under a fierce fire from the German shore batteries She was navigated close into the pier in fine style and sunk by an internal charge. The crew escaped in fast mo- torboats.
 Only the number of officers and men absolutely necessary were on board the ship on account of the danger of her total loss. These, on signal, swarmed up from the engine rooms and stoke hold and took their posi- tions at appointed stations so as te slide quickly into the motorboats. The small boats were under heavy gunfire all the time while they were transferring the crew to waiting de- stroyerS.

Senate Hears Charoes

WASHINGTON, May 10.-S ensa- tional sworn statements, letters and telegrams from the files of the army intelligence service were read into the record today to show that Gutzon Borglum, while holding a personal commission from President Wilson to inquire into the governments aviation program, was negotiating secretly for the formation of a private airplane company to take war contracts and capitalize his friendship with the pres- ident.
 The sculptor, who has been the chief critic of aircraft production officials. is represented as seeking for himself a position as silent partner in the pro- posed new corporation. his sole asset u the transaction to be his personal friendship with President Wilson, with whom he stated he could do anything with.'
 Gibson is Implicated
 With Borglum was associated. ac- cOrding to the documents, Hugo C. Gibson, an employe of the British min istry of munitions of war in the United states. located in New York, who was to share in the deal.
 A formal statement by Kenyon w.. Mix of the Dodge Manufacturing com Ioie VA lHuldldt StllliB lOIlN d Qc- tailed account of his negotiations with the two men. is among the papers put into the congressional record. They were presented by Senator Thomas of Colorado. a member of the senate mili- tary committee. who has been par- ticularly active in connection with the aircraft agitation.
 The Mix statement shows that gov crnment officials including Vice Pres ident Marshall and Howard F. Coffin, former head of the aircraft board, have had most of the information disclosed today. since last January. There is no indication. however, that it reached President Wilson himself at that time or that the president knew of it's ex- istence until several weeks ago when he called a halt upon the sculptor's investigations in his name.
 Documents Given Attorney
 All of the documents submitted by Senator Thomas as well as much other data from the war department have been placed in the hands of Assistant Attorney General Frierson. who has i4st started the inquiry ordered by the president into charges of graft disloyalty and incompetence in tn c government aircraft These charges referred to first in capitol cloakroom gossip and finally on the floor of the senate have been atSgIbuted largely to assertions of Borglum.

Charges Greet with Attacks
 on N. Y. Tribune, Collier
 and Metropolitan While Ignoring Hearst's Work
[Republican A.. ?. Leased Wire1


 NEW YORK. May 1O-Theodore l Roosevelt made public tonight what he termed "a brief preliminary state ment' in reply to the request Of Post 1 master General Burleson that he prove statements he had made in an editorial to the effect that favoritism had been [ shown in the teratment of publications under the espionage act.
 Colonel Is Specific MT. Roosevelt mentioned specifically the New York Tribune, Golfers Week lysand the Metropolitan Magazine as publications which have been assailed by George Greet of the committee on public informationy while others which directly or indirectly aided Germany have not been subjected to government criticism. In the latter category he included the publications owned by William R. Hearst.
 Hearst Not Touched
 "The prime failure of the admins traitor to proceed against papers which opposed the war or attacked our allies or directly or indirectly aided Germany is afforded by the failure of the ad- mnistration to deal with MT. Hearst's papers as it dealt with certain other
 
 Told Necessary Truth
 Referring to the Tribune, Golfers and the Metropolitan, the colonel as- serted that they have consistently up held the war" and have also told that small portion of the truth it was neces- sary to tell about the administration failure to conduct the war efficiently" He said that Mr. Creel. officially speaking as President Wilson's repre- sentative and as giving a message from the United States government to the American people, had attacked Col Hers, and he has also attacked the Metropolitan and the New York Trib- une." 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 Metro politan.
 Who Hearst Is Colonel Roosevelt termed. Mir Hearst a very wealthy man, reputed to be much more than a millionaire owning dozen newspapers, more or less, and half 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 Wat son had done nothing that was any thing like as dangerous to this country and our allies as was helpful to Ger many as Mir Hearst has done" To support his contention, he quoted from editorials in the Hearst newspapers.
 lIkens Watson and Hearst
 The colonel declared it is absolutely impossible to reconcile the govern ments 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 Mir. Roosevelt said he would answer ! the postmaster general completely and at length in a letter to some sena- tor, so as to have it appear permanent 1 ly in the records precisely as Mir.
