HE British Navy has made another night call on the German submarine base at Ostend. his time the raiding party left a heavier souvenir in the shape of the obsolete British cruiser Vindictive carrying a full load of concrete, which eubstantial obstrue- tion, the Admiralty announces, “was sunk between the piers and across the entrance to Ostend Harbor.” Taken with the damage recently effected at Zeebrugge, which the Germans have so far found it impossible to repair, it looks as if) this latest feat of the British naval forces had rendered Ostend and Zeebrugge, together with the canals connecting these two seaports with Bruges, a water area no longer of much use to Germany as a U boat rendezvous. { Moreover, since the blowing up of part of the mole and the’ blocking of the harbor at Zecbrugge the British have demonstrated that aircraft can be effectively used at both these Belgian porte to harass and delay the work of the Germans in their attempts to make repairs. | Altogether, the operations designed to close the ports at Ostend, and Zeebrugge, which the British Admiralty now declares to have been “successfully completed,” constitute the most aggressive stroke’ yet revealed in the warfare of the Allies against the submarine, The achievement not only lends additional point to Vice Admiral Bims’s publicly expressed belief that the corner in the U boat situa, tion is shortly to be turned, but also suggests that more active Allied! movements against the enemy on sea may be forthcoming. | The same twenty-four hours that saw this new and notably mo-| eessful British raid against the German submarine bases on the! Belgian coast saw the present British Government greatly atrength ened by Lloyd George’s masterly handling of a disgruntled and resent- fal military critic. It would seem a likely moment for some spirited larger action! —_—_— EDITORIAL PAGE Saturday, May tt By |. H.

For this reason, perbaps, rather than because of ber Um cannily clever brain, the Kaiser picked her out from the swarm of Wiihelmstrasse secret agents, to be his per sonal spy. Fischer and other daring German chroniclers have risked arrest for “lese majeste” by writing of Kaiser Wilhelm’s insane love for beautiful hands and arma They declare he prefers beauty of arms to beauty of face; and that his natural stinginess is not proof against this freak of mind. He buys costly bracelets and rings for the arms and hands he admires; even though he grudges the spending of a pfennig on any other form of gift. ‘ Edith Marte Wedel's hands and arms helped vastly to win her a post as the Kalser'e personal spy. They also, it {s sald, won for the Keiser @ quarrel royal with the Kaisorin, because of his attene tions to Edith. If so, it ts an opon secret that this was not the firsh/ nor the hundredth quarrel between the Kaiser and his wife, for @ | similar cause, In an earlier article of this sertes [ have told Woman Ordered § f Germany's elaborate system for spying on her uma to Get Secret, fortunate ally, Austria, Vienna, for years, was full of German spies. And to Vienna, at last, Edith Marte Wedel was sent by the Kaiser. |. An Austrian Prince high in the Emperor's councils had secret ine formation—tinformation of tremendous value to any government which could acquire it, and of special and vital interest to Germany. ‘The Emperor of Austria and the few other people possessing thid state secret had been sounded in vain to make them disclose it, Bvery ‘known means had been tried, but to no effect at all. | For somo reason the Kaiser believed dith Marie Wedel conld lure thp secret out of the Prince although every one else had falled te | So he sent her to try. | Edith went to Vienna, as she was ordered.

Perhaps he, too, admired beautiful hands and arms. | The Kaiser nad not overestimated Edith's charm. She not only woo |the Prince's beart, but made him her abject slave. Still #he couldn |get the secret from him. So she went a step further, | Xerting all her fascination, she persuaded him to desert his wits |and his three young children and to elope with her to Switzerland. There he married her. Although he wasn't divorced from his former wife, he consented to go through a formal marriage ceremony with Edit?

But ne one knows what became of her. Says her biographer, de Halsalle: “Wedel did not return to the Wilhelmstrasse. Did she find a better market for her oa? Or was she made away with by an emissary from the Austrian capital?” Bome say she is alive to-day in Russia.
