MINE-SWEEPING TRAWLER SUNK United Press Association. London, December 30. A mine-sweeping trawler was mined, one being killed and five are missing. THE CUXHAVEN RAID. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE FACTS. Trios and Sydney Sun Skbticii. (Received 8 a.m.) London, December 30. The Times’ naval correspondent comments upon the fact that during the Ouxhaven raid British cruisers remained for three hours off the enemy’s coast. It was significant, he remarks, that no attempt to interfere with them was made by any surface vessel. Doubtless, he adds, the Germans had the keenest recollection of what occurred in the Heligoland Bight in August. He continues: “It was shown that neither mines, forts, nor warships were able to protect these important defensive works from assault, which must have an immense njoral effect upon the German nation.”
