Washington, April 23.-News of the
British raid upon the German sub
marine bases at Ostend and zeebrugge
and of the attempt to bottle up those
harbors was received with great in
terest at the navy department.
The move was taken as another de-
finite step in the carefully planned
campaign against the U-boat, which it
has been repeatedly predicted would
begin to show definite results about
this tine.
The Britisii raid ins the Cattegaf,
when ten German trawlers were sunk
was said to have been another step to
prevent the egress Of the submarines.
1t has long been established that the
principal bases of the submarines are
in the captured Belgian ports. The

New York, April 23--Peace for
Germany. according to General Luden-

These statements were made in an

General Won Hindcnburg was inter-
viewed at the same time and the two
commanders apparently were con-
vinced that for Germany force was
needed to bring about peace. General
Won Ludendorf said:
"The final lighting in the west, OF
course, can not be compared to the
fighting in Galicia or in Italy. The
enemy has a powerful reserve army
which he may move on his splendidly-
laid out railroad system as he sees
fit
"But however heavy the fighting
may be the battle must be fought out
because without it peace is not at
tainable.''
Wilhelm Hegler, correspondent Of
the Berliner Tageblatt, in reporting the
interview, says that when the con-
versation turned to events in the east
Field Marshal Hindenburg said that
in concluding peace I'VE acted like

forCtA early To-Day ralded pne German
destroyer and submarine basss of
ostend and zeebrugge, the admiralty
announces.
Five old cruisers, which had been
filled with concrete, for use Of blocking
channels, were run aground blown up
and abandoned by their crews.

No report Of British casualties has been
received.
Submarine Bases.
The ports Of Ostend and zeebrugge
on the Belgian coast, are the principal
bases for the operations of the sub
marines in their campaign against
shipping in the North sea and the Eng
lish channel. They are Of great i'm
portance to the Germans and to de-
prive the enemy Of them would be one
Of the most effective means of dealing
with the.submarines.
An attack on these ports by the Brit
ish fleet has been urged but the naval
=
viewed the land defenses as too strong
to make this practical. Various meas
ures have been adopted to destroy Ger
man submarines on entering or leay-
ing these ports.
I, Field Marshal Haigs offensive in
Flanders last summer was believed to
have as its main objective the bending
OF the German flank to deprive the
Germans Of these important ports.
Five Old Ships Sunk.
The statement follows:
Early this morning a naval raid was
made on Ostend and Zeebrugge, which
are being used by the enemy as de-
stroyer and submarine bases. Our

Local fighting, in which the Brit
ish had the advantage, occurred
near Robecq and in the neighbor-

German raids on both the nor

realize the longer the Germans hold
off their new attack the heavier it
is likely to be.
Southwest Of Ypres the Germans
are massihg large bodies Of troops
on the northern leg of the salient,
probably in preparation for fur

He had boosted to his cousin that he
would soon be back In the fatherland

she would not permit him to leave
America for such a purpose. he re-
