Anger Keynote Of Sentiment
Calm but deadly anger is the key
note of national sentiment today, fol-
lowing the sensational raid upon the
British coast cities yesterday by Ger
man cruisers which bombarded Scar
borough, Hartelpool and Whitby.
Despite the fact that warships Of
the enemy succeeded in threading
their way through the minefields of
the North sea and approached mile
of the British coast at some points,
there is a firm determination not to
permit such isolated raids to inter-
fere with the present plans of the ad-
miralty and war office for the dispo-
sition of the British naval and land
forces.
Recruiting Given Stimulus.
Lord Kitchener's army will be in
creased by thousands of men as a re-
suit of the bombardment of the three
coast towns yesterday. This was evil
dent today when every recruiting sta
ton reported the enlistment of more
volunteers than at any time during the
past three months. Men from fac
tories, shops, professional men and in
fact from every walk of life offered
their services.
England Expects Another Raid.
In London the rush of applicants
resembles in many respects the
scenes witnessed at the outbreak Of
the war.
England is astir today as never be-
fore since war was declared. Another
raid is confidently expected and the
entire machinery of home defense
has beenput in motion.

THREE BRITISH SHIPS
sunk IN GERMANS
WAKE By mines

one believed to be a passenger ship
and all believed to have been flying
the British flag, have been blown up
by mines off the east coast of England
in the territory covered yesterday by
the raiding German warships. The
German vessels are said to have scat
tered mines to cover their retreat.
Blown up Near Scarborough
Only two of the three ships have
been identified. One was the British
coaster, Princess Olga, bound for
Aberdeen, Scotland. 1t struck mine
off Ccarborough early today and went
down. The crew of 18 men landed in
their own boats.
The other was the coaster Flambor-
ough Head.

Cabinet Discusses Raid.
Great Britain's cabinet today met in
full session to discuss the raid of Ger

Santa to Trenches.

Santa Claus will go to the trenches
but rot between them. He wouldn't
be safe in that territory, where the bull
lets from each side cross and criss
cross. In some places the trenches
in northern France are less than 100
feet apart. 1t was concerning these
spots that the German General, Won
Emmich, said:
II don't believe in the Germans
being so friendly with the enemy.
They throw messages back and forth
to each other in tin cans and use dogs
as couriers. They quit shooting dur
ing mealtime and even learn each 9th.
er's names. Such relations are not
good for soldiers"
But it is safe to say that many a
description are being sent to the men
in the trenches. London papers have
published special instructions stating
just how packages should be ad.
dressed and mailed to reach the sol
diers. Warm clothing, cigars, tobac-
co, cigarets and food Of every descrip-
tion, from puddings and dainties to the
more substantial varieties, comprise
the bulk Of the gifts from every coun-
try.
Realizing that it's men are suffer
ing, fighting and dying has resulted in
a different, stronger Christmas spirit
than Europe has ever known.

Germans Help.

He emphasized that the Germans
are not interfering with the distribu-
ton of food stuffs and said, "Not one
mouthful has gone down a German
throat, and we have had nothing but
help from the Germans" Regarding
the argument that under the interna>
tional law the Germans should pro-
vision the Belgians, Hoover gave the
German point of view, which is that
the Belgians had hitherto imported
two-thirds of their food supplies, and
the civil population still possesses re-
source of credit which will be avail
able upon the return of industrial &C.
tivity.
Allies to Blame.
In taking the harbor of Antwerp
the gateway was opened to the neu'
trail world through which the Bel.
gians could provision themselves. No.
thing prevents the normal flow OF
trade except the British navy, there
fore the Germans contend. the moral
responsibility for the starvation of the
Belgians rests with the allies. Hover
praised the humanity of the Ameri-
cans.

Considerable minor business was

by Councilman Spaulding asking for
