ADMITS BRITISH SUCCESS.
In "Fantastically Audacious' Attack on
German Base at Zsebrugge.

London, May THAT the recent Brit.
ish attack on the German submarine
base at Zeebrugge was successful is ad.
mitted by the Frankfurter Zeitung in
commenting upon the affair The news
paper urges that the German navy take
measures to deal with an antagonist
of remarkable boldness."
ut would be foolish to deny" it says,
"that the British fleet scored great sue.
cess through a fantastically audacious
stroke in penetrating into one of the
most important strongholds over which
the German flag floats.
However unpleasant ii may be, We
must frankly admit that the enemy ships
actually entered the port of Zeebrugge
That being so, there is no reason why
they should not achieve a similar feat at
other times. 1t therefore behooves our
navy command to be alert for we have to
deal with an antagonist of remarkable
boldness"

CANADIANS VISITLI
BY BOMBARDMENT
French Generals Believe e
That Next German Effort
Will Be a Triple Drive
Against Flanders, Arras
and Amiens Front

Germany's hordes are still held il
check Neither in Flanders nor in Picar
dy nor along the important Arras sector
has the enemy renewed his attacks II
force, and he has not reacted against
the gain made north of the Somme by
the Australians, in which more than POO
prisoners were captured.
On both battlefronts, however, the ar
tillery fire has been most intense, and
the German attack cannot much longer
be delayed. if the enemy hopes to take
advantage of whatever damage has been
done to the allied positions by the heavy
bombardments carried out by his guns
since the repulse north of Mont KENNEL
more than week ago. The greatest
German artillery activity has been on
the northern half of the Flanders front
and south of the Somme to below the
Avre in Picardy.
American troops in their positions
south of the Somme have been subjected
to intense artillery fire, the enemy using
more than $4,000 shells, mostly gas, in a
short period. There have been no signs
of German infantry attack against the
Americans, who confidently await the
first signs of reawakened activity.
A large part of the southern end of
the important Arras sector has been tax
en- over by Canadian troops, who also are
being visited by storm of German
shells. French generals believe the Ger
mans may attack simultaneously on the
Flanders, Arras and Amiens fronts, in
an effort to push the allies back in one
mighty blow. The hill positions, how
ever, are held by the allies, and their
guns dominate the Germans all along the
line
The Anstro- Hungarian blow against
the Italian front has not developed.
Rome reports only moderate artillery
fire along most of the front from Swift
zerIand to the Adriatic and no infantry |
activity. The Austrians, however, may
be waiting for the most favorable mo- |
ment, probably the renewal of the Ger
man drive in France.
To day, May 7, is the third anniver-
sary of the sinking of the Lusitania by a
German submarine, with the loss of ,275
lives.
