LAND BATTLES OF THE UTMOST IMPORT TANCE

LONDON, Dec. 16.-The raid of Ger
man warships on the northeast of Eng
land and their escape in the fog after
having bombarded Scarborough, Har-
tlepool and Whitby, where number
of persons were killed and wounded
and considerable damage done to prop
erty, completely overshadowed the op.
erations on land.
These operations, however as on the
preceding days, have been of the ut
most Importance. The British, French
and Belgian troops have continued
their offensive in the west, and, ac-
cording to the French official reports,
have made further slight progress.
This was not accomplished without
serious opposition on the part of the
Germans, who, at every point where
an advance was attempted, fought
against it foot by foot.
Along the coast of Flanders, where
the allies are trying to push their
lines forward from Nieuport, they had
the assistance of the British fleet,
which violently bombarded Westende,
one Of the many little coast towns
which have suffered greatly since the
commencement of the war. This at
tack, Berlin says, was without effect,
and the allies were repulsed.

stand
During the hearing Representative
Hobson made public telegram from
Col. Theodore Roosevelt saying he did
not think any useful purpose would
be served by his appearing before the
committee. Mr.. Hobson had suggest
ed that the former president be called
as a witness.
Questioned about the shortage of
the men in the navy, Assistant Secre-
tary Roosevelt said:
1--WE are from 10000 to 10000 men
short of the needs of the navy as
laid down in the confidential war

He explained that many additional
men would be needed for purposes
other than manning ships now in COM

LEIPZ PZIC'S LAST
THRILLING ACT
Officer Of British Freighter,
Which the German Cruiser
Sunk, Tells the Story

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 16.-The
farewell exploit of the German cruiser
Leipzig, now at the bottom of the At
lantic, was told today by E. l.. Rattle,
third officer of the British freighter
Bankflelds, the last prize the Leipzig
is known to have captured. Rattle
arrived today from Callao on the Brit
ish steamship Mexico City.
While off the coast of Ecuador in
September, Capt. Ingham of the Bank
fields, sighted smoke on the horizon
and put on full steam. The Leipzig
had sighted him, however, and came
racing after at a speed that soon over
took him. He refused to lie to at the
signal, but a shell through his funnel
brought obedience.
Three launches filled with marines
put off from the cruiser and carried
back the Bankfields' crew. They were
permitted to take with them their
clothing but no money or jewelry.
Five shells did the business of the
Bankfields with celebrity and her crew
watched her go down by the stern.
They were later transferred to the
German merchantmen Marie and land
ed at Callao.

LONDON, Dec. 16.-10:15 p. m.)-
For the first time in more than a cen.
tury, England has been struck by a
foreign foe. A squadron of swift Ger
man cruisers crept through the fog
last night to the eastern coast and
turned their guns against the Britons.
When day broke they began the
bombardment of three important
owns-Hartlepool. at the mouth OF
the Tees; Whitby. IS miles southwark,
and Scarborough, noted as pleasure
resort, Is miles beyond.
Hartlepool suffered most. There,
two battle cruisers and an armored
cruiser were engaged, and at this
place the greatest loss Of life occurred.
The British war offices fixes the
number Of dead at Hartlepool as Z
soldiers and % civilians, and the
wounded at IA soldiers and so civil
ians.
At Scarborough, where a battle
cruiser and an armored cruiser shelled
the town, Is casualties are reported,
while at Whitby two were killed and
two wounded.
Men, women and children of the
civilian population were left dead or
wounded - struck without warning
while at breakfast or at work. In all,
the casualty list totals 10, according
to the official estimates, of whom 81
are known to be dead.
Three churches were damaged; the
gas works and lumber yards at Hartle-
pool were set afire and the abbey at
Whitby was struck. The Balmoral
hotel at Scarborough received the full
effects Of shell. A number of houses
and shops were shattered and partly
burned in each of the towns
