OVER MILLION
BUSHELS wheat
FROM PORTLAND

Portland, Me, Dec. 29.--Grain ship
ments to England during the present
month will amount to 1,07s,751 bushels.
which is considered large in Wow of
the fact that the European war has
resulted in all the regular transatlantic
steamship lines curtailing their SER
vices until conditions are more set
tied. Nine ships have sailed from
Portland since Dec. /, while the 10th
ship is scheduled to leave here at
daybreak Wednesday witt! $4,000
bushels of grain.
OF the 10 ships to leave here during
December only one was so-called
tramp steamer, while the others were
all regular transatlantic liners.
From present indication the grain
shipments from this port during jan
uary will far exceed those of Deem
Der, as several tramp steamers have
been chartered to load capacity car
goes of grain, and according to the
schedule of sailing of the Thompson,
Cunard, White StaY-Dominion and AL
Ian lines 10 regular ships will sail from
this port the first month of the new
year, and the White Star-Dominion
liner Norseman will be unable to get
away during the present month as
she has not arrived in port.

ENGLISH PANIC STRICKEN
ALONG COAST AND DREAD
ANOTHER GERMAN ATTACK

West Hartlepool, England, Dec 49,
Correspondence of The Associated
Press).-F.nglish east coast towns ARE
panic stricken since the German raid
upon Scarborough, Whitby and the
Hartlepools. Confidence in the power
OF the British navy to keep Germans
away from England has weakened and
there is constant dread Of the reap
pearance of German ships. if not the
landing Of German troops.
The mayors of the Hartlepools and
the other stricken towns have organ
lied volunteer constabularies and are
making an effort to hold the excited
public in check. Proclamations have
been made that civilians must stay in
doors should the bombardment recur
and weld to the orders of constables
but there is a general Impotence with
all sorts of authority. Nearly all civil
ians are carrying arms and they an
nounce they will look after themselves.
Travel by automobiles at night is haz-
ardous as excited guards stop all mo-
tor cars frequently with flourish of
guns and reviewers.
The patrol ships Patrol and Doom,
which guard Hartlepool, were lying
in the harbor the morning of the Ger
man raid, but are said by civilians to
have had no steam. 1t is also charged
they were partly dismantled and had
to be towed out from the docks before

they could get into action. At any
rate, they were so slow that the Ger
mans had an opportunity to shell the
Hartlepools for nearly As minutes be-
fore the navy craft offered effective
opposition. officers Of the two partol
ships had a banquet at the leading
hotel in West Hartlepool the night be-
fore the raid.
An investigation of the navy's ac-
ton has been demanded by the may
ors of the ruined towns.
Many of the families living near the
coast have moved back into the inte-
rior The large number of women and
children killed during the recent bonn
bardment has especially excited the
dread of the inhabitants and whenever
possible the heads of families are
sending their wives and children be-
yond the possible range Of German
ships.
Before the raid at Hartlepool all
Geographic and telephone connection
with the harbor is said to have been
cut off suddenly. In fact, the two Har-
tlepools are both said to have been
cut off entirely from the outside world
for a time before the shells wrecked
many poles and completed the suppos-
ed work Of some spy. The military has
now taken over all wires and colnmu-
nication with the coast towns is very
difficult.
