BRITISH SINK CRUISER VINDICTIVE

London, May 10.—Britich naval forces carried out another brilliant and successful coup last night. They dashed down upon the Belgian coast and barred the seaway to the important submarine base at Ostend by sinking the cruiser Vindictive across the entrance to the harbor. The operation was similar to that at Zeebrugge on April 22nd, when that submarine nest was made ineffective by the sinking of block ships. |
