to circle the stage, rise up and then
fall, and finally fall and turn over.

or twenty feet above the stage in its

While appealing for money to buy
food for the Belgians, the Belgian re-

Of entertainments and other offers TO

thought such affairs should be given for
home relief. The various relief commit
tees also were combined to assure har-
mony, and the Belgian Committee
sought financial help only from those
whom they felt would be able to give
TO the Belgians and to home relief. The

SEARCH SCARBOROUGH
FOR German Spies
By The United Press.

SCARBOROUGH, Eng, Dec. IA
vigorous search is being made i'm
Scarborough today for spies. Reports
OF mysterious ilashlight signalling

bardment by the German warships

believed the German cruisers NAV
nave beeen aided in directing their

The damage done here is estimated

been ready frankly to declare it could
not protect the entire English coast
against occasional isolated raids.
Nevertheless, Englishmen have never
taken seriously the possibility of a
bombardment such as occurred yes
terday and the escape of all the
enemy's ships. How the Germans got
away doubtless will constitute matter
for a rigid naval inquiry. Several
possible reasons present themselves.
A mist is mentioned as assisting
their disappearance. Perhaps it con-
tributed more than any other one
cause. Possibly too, the German war;
ships succeeded in tanning" the
wireless, so that notification of the
presence of the Germans could not be
sent to the British feet at sea- The
strength of the German squadron may
also have been an important reason
for the escape.
Only British first line ships could
have hoped to engage the raiding bat
tie cruisers without disastrous possi-
bilities for themselves. II is believed
none of the British patrolling ships in
the North Sea are capital vessels.
These are supposedly kept in secret
places, safe from submarine attacks,
waiting for an emergenc of the en-
tire German battle feet which may
wish to contest the control of tthe
seas.
Under these conditions, the only
ships capable of sufficient speed and
gun powder to force an issue with the
German raiders may have been too
far from the scene.
Probably each of these three factors
played a part il the escape of the Ger
mans. Nevertheless, it is impossible ia
evade the conclusion that British naval
strategy has heen defective in not tax
/ ing into adequate consideration a raid
under conditions such as prevailed yes
terday
The facility with which the Germans
broke through the Gordon of British
warships suggests that a raiding squad
ron might make its way TO the NORTH
Atlantic and demoralize British ship
ping. As concluding effort to do al
possible damage TO Great Britain, the
plan might be attempted. But its sue
cess is improbable. The raid on The
Yorkshire coast was made under condi
tions only possible at home.
A voyage into the Atlantic woul,
make this impossible and would, in er
feet, commit the strategic offense o
separating the German naval strength
Furthermore, a German feet would hav'
difficulty reaching the Atlantic becaus
of British mine fields blocking tn,
northern and southern exits from tn
North Sea. Only desperate resolve 4
harm TO the utmost Germany's chic
enemy and complete the final total o
damage before peace comes would jus
tify the hazard of an Atlantic venture.

AUSTRIANS ROLL BACK
The RUSSIAN ARMY
By The United Press.

Dl Ant 0hAA'0 ANoof
BERLIN, Via Wireless to Sayville, i.
l., Dec. l7.-"The first actual successes
against the Russians in the last few
days appear to have been achieved by
the Austrians in West Galicia," an au-
thorized statement issued here today as
serts
"Here the Russians have been attack
ed simultaneously from two sides; on
their right by the offensive from east OF
Cracow, and on their front by an attack
directed from the south.
"Reports that the Austrians are fol-
lowing up the retiring enemy from the
south shows that the Russians are
being forced northward upon their
forces in West Poland. Whether this
retirement will extend TO the Russian
forces north of Piotrkow depends on
events coming within the next few
days. The report of the withdrawal OF
the German column which advanced
through Mlawa, shows that the Rus
slams recognized in time the menace TO
their right flank. The old positions re-
assumed by the Germans are strongly
fortified and can be held for a long time
under normal conditions and even
against greatly superior attacking
force.
"Ihat the Austrians were obliged TO
evacuate Belgrade after having retired
before the enemy southwark at Nalievo
points to the advance of an unexpeet.
edly strong Servian force. The assump.
tion also appears justified that the Aus.
trians may possibly have withdrawn
troops from Servia for use in West Ga
lieia. trusting to chance that the Ser
vians were incapable Of a further de
cided offensive.
