Britain May Protest
to Neutral Countries


London. Dec. Let is not improb-
able that the British government will
call the attention Of neutral nations TO
the violation of the Hague convention
by Germany in bombarding unfortified
places. One Of the prominent govern
ment officials, however, to-day de-
clared: What is the use OF the Bit
sh government protesting or pointing
out TO neutralS Germany's violations of
the rules of civilized warfare? Already
Germany has violated every law which
has caused her the least embarrass-
ment II will be exceedingly interest
ING to read her explanation and excuse
for her action on the east coast, if she

Thomas Gibson Bowles, an interna-
tional lawyer. said tonight: There ap-
pears TO have been violation of tie
Hague convention, but there is no use
in discussing it. Germany has vio-
lated all Hague conventions. They are
all dead; they should never have been
made. Why" he added, this captain

be a British protest, but England ought

ming OF the war 20 991 100000 marks
(S497, $50, 000), shown in the last report
of the bank, is explained IN German
newspapers as being due to repressive
measures of the government against
trading in gold as a commodity at a
premium sni by the continuous urg-
ing, especially among the peasants. to
induce them in the national interest to
give up their gold boards in exchange
for notes.
In this the clergy. German news

are said to have given up their gold

for the front.

strictly violation of Hague conven-
lions is something which must be de-
termined. Germany may have a loop
hole in the convention itself The
Hague agreement covering the bonn
bardment of fortified towns was signed
in October. 1907. Its first article is
divided into two paragraphs, as fol-
lows:
"The bombardment by naval forces
of undefended ports, towns. villages,
dwellings or buildings is forbidden.
"A place may not be bombarded sole
ly on the ground that automatic sub
marine contact mine. are anchored off
the harbor."
Both England and Germany ratified
this convention, but each made reser-
vations not accepting the second para
graph of this article. The point, there
fore, IS W ether Scarborough and Whit

OF tn. agreement, were protected By
mines. Tonight il is impossible to
a cel ain whether mines were placed

London Evening Papers
Make Bitter Comments


London, Dec. 16.-Following is some
of the editorial comment on the bonn
bardment of east coast towns appearing
in the London evening papers to-day:
"The Pail Mall Gazette" says: at is
worth two armv corps TO our army.
'Frightfulness' will produce no effect
on the nerves Of the country. This
outrage on humanity will rouse a storm
of cold anger in the hearts. Of the
sturdy men Of the North. Those who
have hesitated will hesitate no longer"
as 1t the Big Thing?" is the headline
over "The Pail Mall Gazette's" column
of comment, which contains this an
swer to the inquiry. Every one viii
hope it is"
1.-THE Evening News" says: "SCar-
borough is unfortified. Its complete
destruction would not have been two
penny worth OF good to the Germans.
Was it feint to draw off our forces,
or was IL merely an attempt at that
ruthless revenge so violently de-
manded by the German press"
"The Evening Standards" naval ex-
pert calls the German action "senseless
policy" and advocates harsh treatment
Of prisoners. saying: eve shall probably
manage to see to it that few German
cruisers return to their harbor. If we
are wise we shall hang any prisoners
taken. Then, and then only, shall we
render ourselves immune from similar
raids in the future"
Commander Carlyon Bellaires, a well
known naval commentator, said: 1.-THE
only conceivable object in undertaking
such a perfectly useless act of war is
to create a state of alarm and divert
troops and guns to the east coast in
stead of TO the front. Obviously, we
have got statesmen who are not going
10 play that game"
"The Westminster GaZette's" expert
says: "The only respectable thing
about the raid is that it could not have
been undertaken without considerable
risk" Continuing, he says: From a
military standpoint, there seems no ex-
PLANTATION for an adventure of this kind
unless it is part of something far larger
and more farreaching. As an effort to
/ divide our fleet, to prepare for an ac-
ton on grand scale as a prelude 10
invasion in force, it would have to be
/ judged as one move necessary TO d
great campaign. Simply as an isolated
event, undertaken for no other object
than to do damage for the sake of doing
it, it stands condemned and can hardly
go unpublished"

ENGLISH WOMEN TO BE

London, Dec. ia meeting was

in aid of the movement for the
formation of a Women's Volunteer
Reserve, the object of which Is TO
proyide a trained and highly ELL
Gent body of women whose services

Such women could be trained Tor

graphing. motoring and camp cook

The Right Hon. Henry Chaplin
NJ. p, explained that the corps was
intended TO be employed in the
event of an invasion of this coun-
try. "by hordes of German bar
barians." 1t was not proposed 10
arm women for aggression, ne
added. but ito arm them for their
own defence in the last extremity

DECLARES CE7MANS
RECOGNIZE NO Law
Enemy's Ships Will Come
Once Too Often, Says
London Times"

London. Dec. 1.-THE Times" dis
cpssing what it terms indiscriminate
shelliny of unfortified towns, refers 10
the statement of Count Ernest Won
Reventlow, the German naval expert
that eve must see clearly that IN or
der to fight with success we must hght
ruthlessly and in the proper meaning
of that word" and adds:
THE deeds wrought at Whiiby ana
Scarborough represent the proper
meaning as interpreted in Germany.
1--WE shall not discuss the prescrip-
tons of international law, because the
Germans jettisoned alike all principles
Of international law and all dictates OF
society. The German navy and the
German nation will learn the full sig
nificance of the Indian saying: Inc
patience of the British is as long as
the summer day. but their arm Is as
/ log as the winter night.
1.-THE raid had no genuine military
or naval significance, and its objects
could only be to relieve the prevalent
depression in Germany and create
panic in these islands. The second OBJ
iect has entirely failed. The raid was
received with complete calmness.
"We fully expect the German SHIPS
to come again until they CONS once TOO
/ often"
"The Times" adds that the purpose
/ Of the royal navy is to engage ana de-
/ stroy the enemy's ships, and that TINS
purpose will be iniexibly pursued, de-
spite all subtle temptations to abandon
it for other objects. =,
"The Morning Post" says IN an edi-
torial: ,,
Whitby and West Hartlepool hardy
/ strikes us as an operation of war. II
is of course. an act of destruction and
causes injury to British subjects and
the wounding and death Of number
/ of non-combatants, but it does not IN
itself directly conduce to the purpose
which presumably the German govern
ment sets before its naval and military
forces, which must be as far as pos
sible to injure or destroy the forces OF
the British government.
/ "As to its moral justification. we
| shall not dogmatize. Savages torture
and kill their prisoners and mutilate
their fallen enemies. Civilized men do
not. The bombardment of undefended
towns or a town unoccuped by the
enemy's troops has usually been re-
garded by the European nations as a
needless form of violence. We believe
Whitby to be such town. Scarbor-
ough used to possess battery of no
military importance.
"The real purpose is, of course,
strategical. The German Admiralty
wants to hypnotic the British Admi--
rally; that is, to convey to its mind
some suggestion to induce it to take
action which will be favorable to some
German design. The German design
is undoubtedly to get a chance OF
! fighting a naval battle in which the
German force could meet smaller
British force, so that the larger force
could destroy the smaller one, That
is the most elementary principle OF
strategy"

the old town escaped; the father, moth
or and two children were killed.
Shells went through the roof OF one
church. At the vicarage Canon Ormsby
was in bed when the bombardment
began. The household sought refuge
in the cellar. The roof of the house
was blown off and most of the rooms
we're damaged, but no one in the vicar
age was injured.
Among the victims were a number OF
children who were on their way to
school.
A group Of volunteers were watch
ing the bombardment from the coast
when a shell fell in the midst of them,
killing several.
The ships appear TO have made a
target of the lighthouse, which, how
ever, escaped severe damage:
The town is almost entirely in dark
ness tonight as a result of the shelling
Of the gas works. The electric light
station, however, has escaped.
The attack on West Hartlepool APP
pears to have been witnessed from sew
eral places on the Durham coast. At
Sasington the firing was heard and a.
Horden the reports were felt so vlo-
lently that windows ratified. Many at
Horden saw two German warshins fir
ing in the direction of West Hartlepool,
the flashes being plainly visible, "a
were also tongues of flame, which de-
noted that guns from the shore
were replying At Black Hall Rocks,
five miles from West Hartlepool. spec
tators saw the enemy's ships firing
broadsdes, then wheeling around AMI
firing opposite broadsides.
From about 8 o'clock until 8:45
flames could also be seen on land, as
though some structures had been set
on fire. These flames afterward died
down.
After the guns on shore replied the
Germans cleared off and were lost in
the mist.
At Redcar terrific firing was also
heard a few miles off the coast shortly
before o'clock. The first of the three
cruisers could then be discerned loom
ing out Of the haze, and the flashes
from their guns were easily observed
from the promenade.
