KAlSER's VICTORIOUS RAID
ON ENGLISH COAS

London-A powerful German feet
slipped trough the Gordon Of naval de-
fence which had made the coast Of
England inviolate for centuries, bonn
barded the cities Of Scarborough,
Hartlepool and Whitby, on the York
shire coast, 80 miles from Helgo-
land, killed nearly fifty civilians and
soldiers and wounded hundreds, de-
stroyed an immense amount Of prop
erty and escaped to sea.
There is fear that an invasion will
be attempted, but there is more reason
to believe that the devastating raid
was the first stroke Of great coup
which Germany, 1t is positively
known, has been planning for weeks
a concerted rush of battle cruisers
and dreadnoughts from Helgoland and
the mouth of the Elbe, and an attempt
TO ruin British commerce on the Allan
tic before their inevitable destruction
by the superior British feet.
The squadron that shelled the York
shire coast escaped practically un-
harmed. The organized pursuit that
followed the frantic alarms and ap-
peals by wireless, and that drew Eng
lands great ships from the Firth of
Forth, from Aberdeen, from the mouth
Of the Thames and from their stations
at sea, could not catch up or cut on
the fast steaming raiders. The Ger
mans had in their favor heavy mist,
which covered the sea, and they made
a rapid withdrawal after raining shells
on the coast towns for about thirty
minutes-at Hartlepool from 8:15 a.
m, to $3.50 a. m.
Nearly four hundred casualties,
eighty-three killed and approximately
three hundred wounded, are the last
figures of the results OF the German
raid on the east coast. Only seven
killed and fourteen wounded were sol
diers, while OF the civilians a large
proportion was women and children.
Il was the most daring and success
full exploit the Germans have per-
formed in the war, amazing in its dar-
ing and savage thoroughness.
