The Newcastle Chronicle, according
to a dispatch reaching London this
evening, says there is probability of
a hostile attack on Tynemouth, in
Northumberland, at the mouth of the
Tyne, and about twenty-five miles
north of Hartlepool
The mayor of Tynemouth has issued
a notice declaring that the local emer-
gency committee has been advised by
the military authorities to have the
gas in Tynemouth turned off at once
for military reasons. The civil popula-
ton have been advised to remain in
doors, but if necessary to leave their
dwellings they are advised to go in
the direction of Newcastle, eight miles
away.
Similar notices were posted in other
cities.

threats that successful attack would
soon be made on the English coast
were taken as mere boasts.
From all that can be gathered from
the official news and such detailed re-
ports as have come from the 50-mile
stretch of coast that suffered from Ger
man shells it would seem that the Ger
man cruiser squadron left its base at
Helgoland probably on Monday night,
since it could hardly have made the
distance between Helgo}and and the
northeast coast of England on Tues
day night alone.
And the remarkable and alarming
feature of their dash was that the Ger
mans could evade the scout and patrol
ships of the British fleet all of Tues
day before appearing off Scarborough
and Hartlepool.
While England has apprehended an
attack from the air, this demonstra-
ton has caused the most intense sur
prise.
The alarm that spread throughout
the kingdom resulted in calling out
the National Reserves at Nottingham
In many other places units of artillery
and infantry were sent to their sta
tons in preparedness to resist any
possible attack.
The number of the attacking force
has been variously estimated at from
three to six cruisers Some had a
submarine. Necessarily there is no in
formation on this point yet
The attack began at Hartlepool
about five minutes after eight in the
morning when most of the people
were at breakfast. 1t was like a thun-
derbolt from a clear sky, most persons
thinking thunderstorm had arisen
The first shell exploded near man
who said afterward he thought a Brit
ish squadron was practicing gunnery
and was making bad craftsmanship
of it.

Scarborough, which was shelled by
the Germans, is a seaport and fash

northern part of Yorkshire, on a head
land extending into the North sea. 1t

A vigorous search is being made in
Scarborough for spies. Reports of
mysterious f1ashlight signalling seen

the German cruisers may have been
aided in directing their fire on. the
