lit HE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1918 BRITISH GUNS INFLICT ENORMOUS DAMAGE ON GERMAN U-BOAT HARBOR Demolish, Sheds In Mole and Blow Up Huge Stores of Enemy Munitions In Raids On Zeebrugge; "It's the Americans!" Cry Teutons Who Flee Posts. New York, April 24. Not only the mouth of the canal at Zeebrugge was blocked, but British sailors and marines who participated in the raid on the German submarine bases believe that they destroyed every gun in the mole, demolished the sheds throughout its entire length and blew up large stores of muni tions contained in the sheds, according to stories given by the survivors to the correspondent of the New York Times at a. Kentish port. The German defenders conceived the idea that their as sailants were Americans, and, according to some of the cur vivors, this cry was heard : "It's the Americans! It's the Yankees!" riTTDTUTAVC BflTT FNMASSV. U- Some o! the Germans bolted en masse from the nearest batteries, leaving their guns to the British. Until they were within a half mile of the harbor of Zeebrugge, no ships in the attacking force had picked up the light on the mole. The attacking ship, which started for the mole followed by muttered calls of "good luck" from the ships' companies of the escorting fleet out side the harbor, had scarcely got within sight of the light when it was discovered by the Germans, Star shells instantly pierced the thick haze, showing up the cruiser as clearly as though it had been daylight. In one second it seemed as if every battery in the neighborhood had con centrated its fire on the cruiser. How she was abie to get ahead none of those 'watchh.g her understood. Great 17-inch shells and others of smaller caliber flew around her like hail. She was apparently hit by some of the smaller one, but she plugged ahead snd was seen to turn the corner of the mole and gain the inside of the harbor. The German fire apparently was deflected from her vital parts by the intervening structure "of the mole and most cf the damage done was above the water line. Land British Bluejackets. Disregarding all that had happened, the cruiser went up to the mole and landed a large party of bluejackets and marines The guns were destroyed one by one, while others in the landing party dealt with the sheds and munition stores with flame throwers. Apparently under cover of this operation, continues the account sent by tne rsiew oric i lmes corrcspuuu ent, the concrete-laden cruisers, with which it wa3 intended to block the channels, made their way through the harbor, accompanied, as far as it can , be ascertained, by only one subma rine. As they approached the en trance, they anchored, swung around on the cables and, according to the testimony of one of the observers, were sunk Within 23 minutes. One of the destroyers, or subma rines, exoloied a chartre at the crates of the lock to the Bruges canal and they are believed to have been de stroyed. Meanwhile four destroyers entered the harbor and cruised around, making observations, but were unable to take part in the bat tle. When the attacking ship and its landing party had completed their work, the sailors and marines were taken aboard again, despite the dam aged condition of the cruiser, which then began to make its way out of the harbor. One of the 17-inch shells out of the hundreds of various calibers fired at the cruiser got well home in her up per works. Her steering gear was mured and she signaled an escort ship to show her the way out, but before help arrived she had found her way out and taken her place, un der her own steam, behind the lines f protecting cruisers. Germans Self Deceived. London, April 24. An officer of one of the motor boats has given the Daily Mail a story of the blowing up t the mole. "The submarine which did it," says this officer "went at it from the outerside. The German star shells helped greatly in showing the way. We could see about 200 Germans on the bridge leading from the mole to the shore. They apparently thought that the submarine had lost her way and was rejoicing in the belief that they were going to trap hef. But the submarine pushed under the bridge and when her cargo of ex plosives was touched off it blew the bridge and all standing on it into tne air. "For a little time afterward frag ments of Germans and wreckage from the bridge were falling all around us. By the blowing up of the bridge, the mole was isolated, and it was on this island that the Vindic Hve's men were landed and the fighting occured." ,. Docks Bombed by Aviators. London, April 24. The official statement relative to air operations issued by the war office tonight reads: "The weather on Tuesday was un favorable for flying until 5 p. m., after hich sharp fighting occurred in the atr.

(By Associated Pros.) Berlin. April 24. (Via London.) The British raid at Ostend and Zee bruesre was frustrated, the war of fice announces. Only 40 men landed on the mole, according to the announcement, and they were killed or captured. In addition to the five British cruisers sunk near the coast, three destroyers and a number of motor boats were sunk by the fire of the coast batteries. The statement reads: "On Tuesday morning an enter prise of British naval forces against our Flanders bases, conceived on a large scale and planned regardless of sacrifices, was frustrated. Landing Force Beaten. "Ater a bombardment of the enemy at sea, some cruisers, escorted by numerous destroyers and motor boats, under cover of a thick veil of artificial fog, pushed forward near Ostend and Zeebrugge with the in tention of destroying the locks and harbor works. "According to prisoners four com panies of marines were to occupy the mole at Zeebrugge by a coup de main in order to destroy all structures, guns and war material thereon and the vessels lying in the harbor. "Only about 40 of them get on the mole. These fell into our hands, some, alive and some dead. On the narrow high wall of the mole both parties fought with the utmost fierceness. Five Ships Sunk. "Of the naval forces which par ticipated in the attack the small cruisers Virginia, Enterprise and Sirius and two others of similar con struction whose names are unknown were sunk close off the coast. More over three destroyers and a con siderable number of torpedo boats and motor boats were sunk by our artillery fire. Only a few men of the crewes could be saved by us. "Beyond the damage caused to the mole by a torpedo hit our harbor works are quite undamaged. Of our naval forces only one torpedo boat suffered damage of the lightest character. Our casualties were small." America's Food Exports to Allies Show Huge Increase Washington, April 24.

London, April 24. Viscount Mo tono, Japanese minister for foreign affairs has resigned, according to a Renter dispatch from Tokio. The question of Japanese interven tion in Siberia probably led to the withdrawal of Viscount Ichiro Mo tono from the foreign ministry, of which he has been the head since November, 1916, when Count Ter auchi formed the present cabinet. There have been reports recently that Viscount Motono might resign in connection with the Siberian situa tion, but explanations of such a possi- bility were scanty. Formerly in Russia. Viscount Motono, who was given his present title in July, 1916, was Japanese ambassador to Russia previ ous to his elevation to the foreign ministry. Since his graduation from the University of Lyons, France, he has been connected with the Jap anese foreign office and has served as minister to Belgium and minister to France. Viscount Motono will be succeeded by Baron Goto, who has held several portfolios and is a member of the national commission appointed last year for the discussion of Japan's foreign policy. Germany Issues False Report About American Aviators London, April 24. The admiralty has issued the following: "In today's German wireless the fol lowing statement appears: "'From papers found on American aviators who were shot down it has been proved that for their own safety many of them crossed over on hospital ships, certified as members of the Am erican ambulance service in France.' "The secretary of the admiralty makes the following statement: 'No hospital ship, British or American, has ever carried anybody but invalids and the necessary medical staff. Further, there are no hospital ships working on the cross-channel route. The whole statement therefore is a fabrication. The American naval authorities state that they have some few aviators who were in the allied ambulance service in France before the United States came into the war, but even in 6uch cases these men crossed the Atlantic in ordinary ships, taking their full chance of being torpedoed.'"

Among the most unhappy men in Italy are said to be the 00 soldiers of the king's guard who are not permitted to go to the front and fight like their brothers. The reason for this restriction is that these 60 men probably could not be replaced if killed, injured, or taken prisoners. They are chosen with the utmost care, not only as regards their habits and training, but for their height, the minimum of which is six feet. "They begin where other men stop growing," according to a popular say ing. Many of them are even seven feet in height. They are chosen from the carabinieri or military police and must have absolutely unstained rec ords. Each newly enrolled man, if he accepts the appointment, must agree to remain in the guard for a term of five years, after which he may or may not re-enlist. During that period, also, he may not marry, VON STEIN BOASTS GERMANY IS j STILL AHEAD IN USE OF GAS1 Amsterdam, April 24.

Speaking on the first reading of the new taxation proposals in the Reichstag, Count von Roedern, secretary of the im perial treasury, said that 11,000,000, 000 marks of the 14,500,000,000 marks subscribed to the eighth war loan already had been paid. "In the forthcoming reconstruction of the imperial finances that master piece, the imperial constitution, must not be fundamentally altered," he said. "A fundamental taxation divi sion into direct and indirect taxes would be premature. "We don't yet know the amount of indemnity we shall win. "Our taxation legislation need not fear comparison with that of foreign countries. Great Britain's big taxa tion achievements show neither a new basis nor an organic reform. American war taxes represent merely random and variation." in All Italy? The guards and their horses are quartered inside the grounds of the rcyal palace on the Quirinal hill. The guard does sentinel duty inside these grounds when King Victor Emmanuel is in Rome, and also accompany him on state ' occasions, as on that of March 14, 1912, when, as the king was going along the Corso to visit the tomb of his father in the Pan theon, the anarchist d'Alba fired twice and wounded Captain Lang of the guard instead of the king. Since the war began, although the king lives at the front and under goes all its dangers, members of the guard are to be seen now and then walking through the streets of Rome, attracting attention and admiration because of their immense figures and shining helmets, but, for all that, jealous of the stained and bespattered gray-green uniforms of soldiers on leave from the front trenches.

"By the time I finished my first bottle of Tanlac I had regained five pounds of my lost weight and was looking so well that my friends were surprised and began to ask me what I was taking," said Mrs. John Hay ward, whose husband is employed by ,the Metropolitan Water company and who lives nt 530 South Thirtieth street, the other day. "Ever since I had that spell of the grip some few weeks ago," she con tinued, "my system was badly run down and I seemed to be losing ground right along. I hnd no appe tite and what little I forced down seemed to do me no good. I fell off 10 pounds and felt so weak and tired that I was hardly fit for a thing all day long. I would get so diziy, too, nt times that I'd almost fall, and after I went to bed at night I'd get so rest leas that I could hardly sleep. "I never was much of a hand to take advertised medicine, but I felt that if Tanlac did what others said it did for them it would help me, too. Well, it has certainly turned out to be just what I needed, for it gave me such a fine appetite that I began to pick up right from the start and have kept on improving ever since. Those dizzy spells have become less frequent and seldom bother me at all now, I sleep like a baby all night and get up in the mornings feeling fine. I am so much stronger and better since I started on Tanlac that, my husband was encouraged to try it and it is doing him good, too. I have also got several of my friends to taking Tanlac and they are delighted with it."

Use Cocoanut Oil For Washing Hair If you want to keep your hair, in good condition, be careful what you wash it with. '; i Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and en tirely greasclesa), is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair. ' Simply moisten your hair with wa ter and rub it in. One or two tea spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The la,tht r rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man age. ! You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months. Advertisement. FEW FOLKS HAVE GRAY HAIR NOW Weil-known local druggist says cvarya body is using old-time rocips of Sags Tea and Sulphur. Hair that loses its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sul phur to keep her locks dark and beau-, tiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this old-time recipe. . Nowadays we get this famous mix-, ture improved by the addition of oth- , er ingredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," which dark ens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking on small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, be sides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is a delightful toilet requisite to impart color and a youthful ap pearance to the hair. It is not in tended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease. Adv.
