TROUBLE OVER
CHECKING BAGGAGE

New York, Dec. 16.-There was
great confusion and indignation
about the Pennsylvania and Grand
Central stations today because of the
new rules which went into effect
last midnight preventing the check
ing Of baggage through on split
tickets, that Is part mileage and part
regular ticket. The inconvenience is
due to the fact that eastern mileage
is not good west of the eastern zone
and likewise western mileage in the
eastern zone. Passengers going
through therefore must stop off at
Buffalo, Pittsburg, or other connect
ing points ard recheck their baggage
or buy through tickets at increased
rates, hence the Indignation and
complaint on all sides at both of the
large stations today.

First Attack Ever Made on England
tBy Associated Press. }

London, Dec. 16.-London eX-
pected the German attack on Eng
land made today for the first time
in the history of the United King
dom. Hostile warships bombarded
the English towns of Scarboroueh
and Hartlepool, and Whitby was
shelled by German warships. The
extent Of the damage Inflicted was
not revealed in early reports. 1t
seemed probable that Germany sent
few swift cruisers for the raid
largely for moral effect, without at :
tempting action with the main fleet
of for the invasion of England. The
attacl. has overshadowed other war
developments.
France claims that the allies have
made further progress in Belgium
and said the German attacks were
repulsed. 1t is declared that the
British warships have again bonn
barded German positions on the Bel
gian coast
