Many Victims of Rombardnoen Mt.

London, Dec. 1.-THE people of the
English coast towns of Scarborough,
Hartlepools and Whitby, which yester-
day We're bombarded by German cruis-
ers, resumed their ordinary occupa-
tions today. The only difference dis
cerned in the regular routine of this
season of the year was the arrival
of crowds of camera bearing tourists.
Although at late hour tonight the
official estimate of the casualties was
50 persons killed and about $50 in
jured, many of the wrecked homes
have not been explored and it is be-
lieved the list of dead eventua lily will
reach 100. Eight soldiers two of them
gunners in the coast defense, and two
sailors, are among the killed.
The panic stricken residents of the
sister towns have returned gradually
to their homes from the country and
are standing about in sad groups,
watching the search of the demolished
buildings for dead and injured.

Expect Riq Battle.

London, Dec. 21.-The great battle
to the west of Warsaw has yet to be
fought out, Judging from the indica-
tions conveyed in recent dispatches
from Berlin and Petrograd. 1t appears
today to British military observers
that the German contention that Gen
eral Won Hindenburg had scored a no.
BILE success over the Russians must be
qualified. A parallel case is found in
the recent claims of crushing Rus
sian victory near Lodz, which subse-
quently proved to be premature and
exaggerated.
The German army commanded by
Genaral Won Hindenburg has made a
steady advance in the direction of the
Polish capital but the Russians in fall
ing back appear to have taken new
positions in strong entertainments and
in spite Of the fact that the invaders
are within two or three days march
of Warsaw. there is good reason to
believe that much hard fighting must
come before it can be determined
whether this latest attempt to occupy
Warsaw will be crowned with success.

Will Test Prohibition Law.

Phoenix, Ariz., Dec. 15.-Suits to
nave the Arizona state prohibition
law declared invalid were filed TODAY
in the United States district court.
both here and in Tucson. Injunctions
were asked by priest of the Catholic
church and by druggists and by whole
sale and retail liquor dealers to pre-
vent the dry amendment going into
effect Jan. l, under provisions of the
measure as approved by the people
at the state election, Nov. 3.
The action in the interest of the
Catholic church was filed at Tucson
in the name of Rev. Thomas Connol-
ley, pastor of All Saints church of
that city. The main contention is
that the drastic provisions of the dry
amendment to the constitution pro-
hlblt the use of wine in the ceremo-
nles OF the mass, and thereby infringe
upon the religious liberties guaran.

Nine Years To Round Up Gang.

feiters' gang was completed tonight
when secret service operatives arrest,
ed Mrs. Eva Harris, said to be the last

passing counterfeit five and ten dollar
gold pieces in Pacific coast cities. A
few hours before the woman was ar
rested $2,535 in counterfeit gold coins

Seattle harbor by secret service men.
The woman was arrested in a room
ing house after the secret service men
were sure that all the other members
of the alleged gang were in custody.

MAKING SLOW PROGRESS
Offensive Movement Against Germans
Meets With Stubborn Defense.

London, Dec. 19.-With the Germans
strongly entrenched and the ground in
bad condition, the offensive movement
of the allies in Belgium and France is
making slow progress. At several 9TH
er points, however, the French official
report records the capture of German
trenches. The offensive is being pushed
with considerable force in Flanders
and from the Belgian border south to
the river Disc, where the line turns
eastward.
The Germans keep up violent coun-
ter attacks and by these have in some
cases succeeded in preventing the al.
lies from following up their advantage.
Similar tactics are being adopted by
both sides along the rest of the front,
with gains and losses, which are mark
ed in fractions of miles. The allies
have brought up an enormous weight
OF artillery, which they are using to
clear the way for the infantry.
1t is thought possible that Berlin's
celebration of a great victory in Po-
land was premature. All the German
headquarters say of the battle there
in today's dispatches is that the pur-
suit of the enemy continues.
The Russian official report received
tonight says the engagements which
have taken place on the left bank of
the Vistula have been nothing more
than outpost affairs.

High Price For Durum Wheat,

Duluth, Dec. 19.-Durum wheat sold
at $1.37 on the Duluth board of trade
today, the highest price ever recorded
for that grain. Durum commands a
premium of 16A cents over spring, an
advance of 50 cents since the middle of
July last. While this bulge has been
brought about by export demand as
the result of war cutting off supplies
for Russia, statistics show that it's in
creased consumption in this country
also has been a factor.
Durum is regarded as a special fea.
ture of the Duluth market, and when
trading in it was first promoted few
years ago by two local houses the pre-.
diction that it would ever be on a par.
ity with spring wheat was deemed i'm
possible by grain men at Minneapolis
and Chicago.
The quality of Durum grown in the
northwest is said to be fully equal to
the Russian durum.

Naval Experts Are Interested.

Washington, Dec. 16.-The German
naval raid on British coast towns ex.
cited widespread attention in naval,
military and diplomatic circles here
and was the absorbing topic in Off
cial and congressional circles. The
first feeling was one of surprise that
the Gordon of British ships which was
said to form ring of assured de.
Tense around the British Isles, had
been suddenly penetrated and serious
damage inflicted on the British coast
ports.
Notwithstanding the strength of the
British fleet, which was blockading
the German coast, naval officers here
have thought the line of investment
could not be made absolutely tight be.
cause Of stormy weather at this sea-
son, with dense fogs. The German
ships also have been obliged to lie
many miles off the German coast to
escape the fire of shore batteries and
particularly to avoid the mine field.
Naval strategists believe that the
German raid has double purpose.
First, they think it was intended to
strike terror into the hearts of the
British and perhaps to some extent
retard dispatch of recruits of the
armies in France and Belgium by
creating "a public opinion which would
require British troops to be kept home
for defensive use; second, they think
the German cruisers which appeared

Bristling with wrath and resent.

towns, England is astir today as ney.

other raid is confidently expected and
the entire machinery of home defense
has been put into motion. On the east

plans to organize a national guard, too

Although in the British mind a raid
on London seems remote, yesterdays
episode drove home the realities of
war. Arrangements have been made
at Deal and Dover to expedite the re.

are primarily to forestall any panic

DEATH Of THOMAS CRUISE
Montana Pioneer Won Fortune In
Mining and Other Pursuits.

''''''S 0SO OIuCT PURSUITS,
Helena, Dec. 2O.-Colonel Thomas
Cruise, millionaire banker, and mining
man of this city and discoverer of the
famous Drum Lummon gold mine at
Marysville years ago, died at his home
mere today at the age of 7S wears.
Death resulted from cold contracted
few weeks ago, coupled with the in
hrmlties of old age. Colonel Cruise
discovered the Drum Lummon in 1868.
and sold it to syndicate for more
than million dollars and it yielded its
owners something like $50 ZOO, 900. The
st. Helena cathedral here will stand
as a monument to his liberality, as his
generous donations enabled the Cath
olic church to erect one of the finest
houses of worship in the United States.
Cattle raising, horse breeding, sheep
and wool productions, ranching on
big scale, all appealed to him to a
greater or less degree, but it was to
mining that he devoted most of his at
tention. When he sold out his mine at
Marysville, the Drum Lummon, to an
English company for cash considera.
ton of million dollars and a stock
interest which later it is said netted
twice the cash paid, he did not retire
from mining. Instead he put his mon.
ey into the development of other prop.
critics in the Marysville district, and
developed big paying property,
though just how big he always refused
to give any hint
Colonel Cruise was not only one of
the pioneer and successful mining men
OF Montana, but he was one of the
most practical. Although he had been
engaged in banking, sheep growing
and ranching for the last quarter of a
century, he never gave up mining and
never deserted camp Marysville, where
he made his big strike. For a good
many years he had been operating the
Cruise mine in the Marysville district.
Until few months ago he made sew
eral trips each week to the property
and kept closely in touch with the op-
erations. He was also operating an.
other property on Scratch Gravel, near
Helena, it being his ambition, as he
expressed it only short time ago,
ITO develop mine near Helena which
would be the biggest gold producer in
the state"

funds of Silver Bow county when the

INCREASE FREIGHT RATES
Interstate Commission Grants Peti.

titon Of Eastern Railroads.
Washington, Dec. 1S.-Increases in
freight rates, approximating per cent
on all territories between the Atlantic
seaboard and the Mississippi, north of
the Potomac and Ohio rivers. were
granted today by the interstate COM
merce commission in divided opinion.
excepting upon certain heavy commo-
dities, which comprise large bulk of
the traffic.
The increases will further apply to
the railroads west of Buffalo and
P1ttsburg which were granted partial
advances in the decision of last Au-
gust, which denied them altogether to
the roads east of these points. 1t is
estimated that advanced rates will in
crease the annual income of the roads
about S3O.OO0.OOO
The commission made it's decision
upon the showing of the railroads that
IN addition to conditions from which
they previously asked relief, they now
are confronted with an emergency be-
cause of the war in Europe.
With Commissioners Harlan and
Clements dissenting, the majority of
the commission declared:
"Whatever the consequence of the
war may prove to be, we must recog-
nize the fact that it exists: the fact
that it is a calamity without prece-
dent and the fact that by it the COM
merce of the world has been disar-

DARING GERMAN RAID
Cruisers Shell Towns On Northeast
Coast Of Great Britain.

S00os W STSdt Britain.
London, Dec. ia German feet
made sudden dash into the North sea
today, shelled Scarborough and Hart
lepool, English coast towns on the
North sea and engaged certain por-
tions Of the British fleet. Four Ger.
man cruisers appeared off Scarborough
at an early hour and began to bonn.
bard the town. It is apparent that
they had no difficulty in dropping
shells into the city. Panic seized the
people and many of them fled from
their homes.
The residents of Hartlepool were
aroused from their sleep by the sound
OF heavy gun firing. They fiocked to
the streets and thence made their way
to learn what was on. In a few min.
utes shells from German cruisers be.
gan dropping into Hartlepool where
upon the crowd along the shore broke
for shelter
Panic also showed itself at this
point. Fear took possession of the
people and many of them abandoned
their homes and fled inland.
British tlotillas have been engaged
with the enemy at several points. how.
ever. and at noon the situation was
described by the admiralty as 'devel-
oping."
1t could not be ascertained at first
whether this German attack was de.
signed merely to spread panic among
the British people or whether it's pur-
pose was to engage the British fleet
in general action, or to act as an es-
cort in an attempt to land troops on
the British coast.
Neither Scarborough nor Hartlepool
are fortified. Scarborough has a pop.
ulation of 10000 people and during the
summer months the seaside hotels are
crowded. At this time of the year,
however, the hotels are comparatively
deserted. Hartlepool, together with
West Hartlepool, has population of
about 10000.
This is the first attack on the Unit
ed Kingdom since small French force
landed in Pembrokeshire in 1898 and
was captured.
