MOVEMENT NOT SCREEN
FOR GENERAL INVASION
Descent of Germans on English Coast
Towns Apparently Is for
Moral Effect.
VIEW OF NAVAL EXPERTS
Acual Attack OF Little Military I'M
portance, but Daring of Raid
Through Gordon Of British Ships
Thrills Nations.

WASHINGTON, December l6.--Om
clal and diplomatic Washington was
thrilled to-day with the news of the
commandment by German cruisers OF
the east coast of England
The actual attack on British coast
towns. accomplishing, even In a small
way, the long talkcd-of descent of the
German navy on the English coast. de-
veloped much discussion among naval
experts and tacticians.
While government officials made no
formal comment, the bombardment was
discussed in congressional, as we'll ms
executive quarters, with particular ap-
plication to Hypothetical situations i'm
which American defense might he in
volved.
RAID Is BsLIENED
ONLY FOR MORAL EFFECT
The consensus of opinion among
naval men was that the raid was for
moral effect. and did not screen a gen
eral invasion by Zeppelius and German
submarines. although Great Britain's
rulnerability to such attacks was To
some extent emphasized by it, Experts
thought any sustained attack on the
English coast would require many more
ships than were engaged to-day and
by tho time any effort was made to
lish fleet could be brought into action
The view of most naval experts was
summarized in the following opinion
from high American naval officer and
tactician:
LAS reported. there were only four
German cruisers. and they bombarded
three towns on the east coast OF Eng
land. within n range OF about fifty
miles. Since no one OF these towns
contains anything which is of military
value to the English. the thing can bo
considered. from all the facts. as raid
for the moral effect to be produced on
England.
NO military value can he attached d
to the raid, insofar as invasion s con-
cerned. The number of ships employed q
would he useless for invasion purposes
unless there were troop ships back
OF them. While this can be considered
only AS raid for moral effect. back
of it may be the gathering of sub
marines attending the German cruisers
To take advantage Of any concentration
of British forces sent to head OFF the
cruisers.

Hobson, of Alabama. one Of the naval

opinion that the German attack was

Data gathered to-day in official
quarters revealed that the east coast
of England. except for the protection
which the fleet gives, probably is vul-
nerable at a number of points.
