German Paper Comments on Attack on Zeebrugge.
London, May 7.-- That the recent British attack on the German submarine base at Zeebrugge was successful is admitted by the Frankfurter Zeitung in commenting upon the affair. The newspaper urges that the German navy take measures to deal with an antagonist of remarkable boldness.
"It would be foolish to deny," it says, "that the British fleet scored a great success through a fantastically audacious stroke in penetrating into one of the most important strongholds over which the German flag floats.
"However unpleasant it may be, we must frankly admit that the enemy ships actually entered the port of Zeebrugge. That being so, there is no reason why they should not achieve a similar feat at other times. It, therefore, behooves our navy command to be alert, for we have to deal with an antagonist of remarkable boldness."
