DEATH SENTENCE OF
TRAITOR ANNULLED
Nicholas Ahlers's Acts Not
Shown To Be Hostile to
Great Britain.

London, Dec 1s.-The Court Of Grim
inal Appeal, consisting of the Lord
Chief Justice, Lord Reading, and four
other justices, to-day annulled the con-
victon of Nicholas Alters, who on De-
cember 10 was found guilty of treason
and sentenced to death.
Ahlers, a naturalized Englishman,
formerly was German Consul in Sun
derland Borough. He was accused of
having aided German reservists to
reach their country after the outbreak
of the war.
Ahlers's appeal was allowed, on the
ground that from the evidence it did
not follow that his actions were hos
tile to the country's interests, and
also because the material point wheth-
err or not the prisoner, when he COM
mitted the alleged acts, knew war had
been declared was not left to the jury
ia the way it should have been done.

London, Dec. 1S.-Although there

question all along the Yorkshire coast,
and serious action is spoken of II steps
are not taken to clear every one OF
German birth, antecedents or interests
away from the shore for a distance Of
at least twenty miles. Nothing has
been seen since of a man who, 1t is
admitted by the Admiralty, was seen
signalling on Wednesday from the
Scarborough cliffs, though search for
him is still in progress in all the towns
on this coast. Scarborough was swarm
ing with German and Austrian walters
before the war. In fact, it is said that
at one hotel the head waiter drew up
his staff into military formation and
marched them out the day before war
was declared. Most of the walters en-
ployed here were arrested and are I'M
der detention. The locality is one with
which Germans are intimately ac-
quainted, and that their wireless news
announces the destruction of the water
works is significant.
The terms Of rejoicing with which
they have announced the results of the
attack, the killing of so many persons
not soldiers and the damage to pro-
perty have put the whole of Yorkshire
in cold rage, which will not be with
out its effect on recruiting.

Leaving Hartlepool, though it is in

war. II is smooth bore, with its
touch hole spiked and the compton has
not been removed from its muZzle for
two generations. The German ships
were less than two miles from this gun
when they started their bombardment,
and that it was not a bombardment TO
destroy Notifications is proved by the
fact that the projectile used was shrap-
mel throughout.
The inquest over the bodies of those
who lost their lives in the lombard
ment was concluded to-day The YER
diets returned were similar to those
found at Hartlepool and Whitby-that
the victims were killed by shells from
German warships. The foreman of the
jury wanted to employ the word "mur-
der" but the coroner explained that
this would necessitate the prosecution
of some one.
A coast guard officer in testifying
said that when the attack was opened
on Scarborough the German ships were
within 900 yards of the castle, which
stands on the promontory rising above
the harbor He said he believed that
nearly 500 shells were fired.
Former Sheriff Turner Of York, in
giving evidence, expressed the strong
conviction that it was not safe for any
woman to remain in Scarborough.

tRy Gable % The Tribune
London, Dec. l8.-The number OF
victims killed and wounded Of the Ger
man raid on the east coast has now
risen to GIL. The additions are made
at Hartlepool, where there were sew
eral deaths from wounds and where
many more people reported injuries.
The total is made up Of 1872 killed,
I75 severely wounded and 374 slightly
wounded. o the 1872 killed only six
werecom batants, and at least bf were
women and children. In addition sew
eral aged people and invalids have died
from the shock caused by the lombard
ment.
London. Dec. 19.-The Admiralty has
issued a statement denying that any
British warships were lost in the re-
cent raid by German squadron on the
east coast Of England. The statement
adds that all German assertions to the
contrary are untrue.
The British destroyer Hardy was
among the warships which engaged the
German squadron that made rald on
the east coast of England on Wednes-
day. This was disclosed by an Ad-
miralty casualty list issued last night,
which shows that two men were killed
and fifteen were wounded aboard the
Hardy. These, with the losses on the
light cruiser Patrol and the destroyer
Doom, previously reported by the Ad-
miralty, bring the list of casualties on
the vessels which pursued the Ger
mans TO thirty-seven.
The denial of the loss Of any war
ships by the British was prompted by
the following German official statement
sent by Reuters correspondent from
Amsterdam:
"The retreating cruisers were at
tackled by four British destroyers, one
of which was sunk. Another disap-
peared. badly damaged. ,,
"At another point another Engllsh
destroyer was sunk
In reply to request from the cor
poration of Hsrtlepool and west
Hartlepool to make an investigation OF
the raid the Admiralty has replied that
this will not be necessary, as the gov
eminent is in possession of all the
facts. The coroners Of the three towns
which were bombarded are still mold
ing induests over the bodies OF victims,
the numbers Of which continue 20 grow
as injured persons succumb to their
wounds.
AS a result of the bombardment the
kingdom has been flooded with posters
saying: "Avenge Scarborough! UP
and at EN-. nowl"

THREE KINGS LAY
PLANS FOR UNITY
Rulers of Sweden, Norway
and Denmark Hold Joint
Conference.

Malmoe. Sweden, Dec. 1s.-king Gus
tave of Sweden, King Haakon of Nor
way and King Christian of Denmark
arrived here to-day for a conference
nj which they are to formulate an
agreement designed to combine their
respective interests during the war.
The meeting of King Haakon and
King Gustave was of unusual interest,
since it was the first time that the
rulers Of these countries had met since
Norway severed her connection with
Sweden. in 1905. The conference is ex-
pected to establish closer relations be-
tween these countries.
The royal conference is being held in
an ancient dwelling in the market place
of Malmoe, the headquarters of the
present Lord Lieutenant. King Gustave
was the first to arrive, and he well
coined King Christian when he .eached
port on the cruiser Heimdal. The two
monarchs met King Haakon, who came
to Malmoe by special train. The g. et-
ing of the monarchs was of a most
cordial nature. The town was profuse-
ly decorated and crowds lined the
streets and cheered the sovereigns, who
spent the greater part of the day in
conference.

Petrograd, Dec. 1S.-The "Bourse
Gazette" regards the meeting of the
three Scandinavian monarchs as an i'm
portant step in the direction of an alli-
ance between Denmark, Norway and
Sweden which, in the writer's opinion,
is desirable in Russian interests.
Considering the present predomi-
nance of pacific tendencies in the pol
icy of the three Scandinavian states, it
is held that the prospective alliance
would lead to the declaration Of per-
manent neutrality both for the states
themselves and the straits uniting the
Baltic with the North Sea and Allan
tic. All the states would be sufficiently
strong to defend their neutrality
against all attempts at infringement,
and thus the question of the Northern
Dardaneles would be settled in Rus
sia's favor without sacrifices on her
part.r
