ENGLAND BR|STL|NG WITH
WRATH AND RESENTMENT
Says That The Towns Bombarded by
Germans Were Unfortified-Remark
able Secrecy With Which Raid Was Ex-

(By Associated Press.)

London, Dec. 17.-All England was

the war started, and is bristling with
wrath and resentment at the bonn.
bardment of the unfortified towns on
the east coast.
The entire home defense machinery
has been put into operation in the
confident expectation of another raid.
The German warships should have
reached the base at Heligoland at
midnight of Wednesday. Thirty
hours from the base on such an adj
venture is not at all belittled by the
English newspapers.
The Englishment, however, hope
that the Germans will keep on COM
ing until the calls are paid once too
often.
scarborough, Whitby and Hartle-
pool, the towns attacked in yester-
days bombardment, had resumed
much of their normal aspect today.
except in the bereaved homes and in
the hospitals.
The belief is general that the Ger
mans had the able assistance of spies.
The remarkable secrecy with which
the raid was executed is shown by the
fact that no incoming vessel at the
coast ports had reported the sighting
Of any hostile warships.

Peru.s Sunar Cane.

Heavy production of sugar cane to the acre is one of the surprises of Peru. Where it is grown the land is level, and planting is an easy matter. When the cane reaches the height of two feet further attention in regard to cultivation is said to be unnecessary, and in from eighteen to twenty-four months maturity is reached. That the growth is luxurious may be known from the fact that an average crop of forty tons an acre is obtained, while sixty and even seventy tons is not un- common. Tn other sugar growing coun- tries, including Cuba, twenty-five tons per acre are considered a good aver age, according to sugar experts.
