Scarborough Not Fortified.

At the British embassy here today Il
was said that Scarborough was in no
sense fortified town. but in the abb
sence of admiralty reports of the Ger
man naval raid. embassy officials did
not care to comment on the attack.
Scarborough, military observers say,
might logically be the objective of a
landing force because of it's position on
the two railways leading to Edinburgh
and Hull
In anticipation of such an event.
Scarborough. like many other English
coast towns. has been protected by
barbed wire entanglements along all
the roads leading from the coast in
land. The famous "Foreshore road
way" which formed the promenade OF
the summer resort along the waters
edge, has been protected by sandbag
intrenchments.
On the north cliff overlooking the
sea barracks are situated, which in

The British privy council last August
issued in the form of an army order,
for the benefit of merchant vessels, a
list of all the harbors on the British
