HOOD RIVER CONCERNS
GERMANS NAVAL BASE
ATTACTED BY BRITISH
London. Assisted by light cruisers,
destroyers and submarines seven Brit
ish naval airmen, piloting seaplanes,
made a daring attack Christmas day
on the Oerman naval base of Cuihav

Six of the airmen returned safely,
but the seventh. Commander Hewlett,
it Is feared, has been Inst, as his ma
chine was found off Heligoland,
wrecked.
What damage was done by the
bombs thrown by the attacking party
could not be ascertained, but the Oer
man report of the affair says that the
raid was fruitless.
By rapid maneuvers the Rrltlsh
ships were able to avoid the Oerman
submarines, while the Zeppelins found
the fire of the cruisers too dangerous
for them to keep up the fight. Her
ninn seaplanes dropped bombs, which,
according to the nritlsh account, fell
runnlessly into the sea. The nermann.

-Featurea of the war In

have been driven back across the Rxu

however, assert that they have been
successful on the right bank of the
I'llica, and Austria asserts Its troops
have taken Asjok Pass, in the Carpa
thian. Roth Oermans and Russians tell of
having taken many prisoners.
The Oerman official press bureau,
according to a wireless communlca
Hon from Berlin, says:
"Russian attacks in the vicinity of

took Him' prisoners. In North I'olnnd,
