London, April. 25. There is much amusement over last night's German còm- unique camouflaging the Zeebrugge and Ostend enter- prises Although it was fully expected he would minimise them and claim that he sank the ships we sank, what the communiqué does not explain is how it was possible to make a landing on Zeebrugge mole in the teeth of the mines sad fortifications and take the ships out again when the work we accomplished. It is taken for granted that the unplea sant facts will be kept from the German people as long as possible.
