Strikes Blow at Sub. Base.
The British have not permitted
the halt in the fighting along the
western battlefront to keep inactive.
No less objective was sought
than the blotting out by one

cruisers, laden with cargoes of
ballast, to make them more difficult
of removal.
It is believed, however, that
they failed to fully choked the
channel.
